Prof. Dr Helge Jordheim

Helge Jordheim is Professor of Cultural History at University of Oslo. He has published extensively on 18th-century intellectual culture in Europe as well as on conceptual history and philology. In the last decade he has published several articles in History & Theory and History of the Present developing different ways of thinking about times in plural, and in 2014 he became the Principal Investigator for the project Synchronizing the World, funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The project produced path-breaking ideas in the theory of multiple temporalities and has paved the way for a following NRC-funded project, Lifetimes: A Natural History of the Present, running from 2018 until 2023, where Jordheim served as Principal Investigator. He has also been affiliated with the IRTG Baltic Peripeties as a member of the IRTG Supervisory Board during its first funding phase from 2021 to 2024.
