About
In her PhD work, Linda Sandbæk explores how traumatic experiences are portrayed in fiction, archives and psychoanalysis and how different texts can enrich the understanding of the impact of trauma on the individual and society. Supervisors for the project are professors Kjell Ivar Skjerdingstad at OsloMet and Siri Erika Gullestad at the University of Oslo.
