Orvar Löfgren
Orvar Löfgren (born 1943) is a
Ph.D. in European ethnology in 1978 for his dissertation, "Maritime hunters in industrial society: the transformation of a Swedish fishing community 1800-1970."[1] He was Professor of European Ethnology at Lund University from 1991 to 2008, and a visiting professor at University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1983, 1986 and 1997.[2]

Öresund Bridge.[3] He has also published on issues relating to the development of national identity in Sweden.[4][5] He is the author of ten books and dozens of articles in academic journals.[2]
Löfgren was awarded an honorary doctorate at the University of Copenhagen in 2008, and received the Gösta Berg medal the same year. He is a member of the Royal Academy of Letters and, since 1995, has been a foreign member of the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters.[6][7]
