Dr Claire Thomson
Dr Claire Thomson (MA MSc PhD) is Lecturer in Scandinavian Film and Head of Department of Scandinavian Studies. Her research and teaching interests centre on eco-critical, post-humanist and multisensory approaches to film, and on interculturality and (post)national identities in film and literature. She has published widely on Scandinavian and Scottish literature and cinema in journals such as New Cinemas, Short Film Studies, Language and Literature, and for the Danish Film Institute's Carl Th. Dreyer Archive. Main publications are Thomas Vinterberg's Festen (Nordic Film Classics series, University of Washington Press, forthcoming 2012); Nordic Naturecultures (co-edited with Christopher Oscarson, forthcoming), and the edited volume Northern Constellations: New Readings in Nordic Cinema (Norvik Press, 2006). Claire also edits the journal Scandinavica. She is currently working on a book about the short films of Carl Th. Dreyer.
