About Maggie Kastlund
Since Februar of 2023, I am employed as a PhD Candidate in the History of Religions at the University of Gothenburg. My primary research interests are Hinduism and (Western) Esotericism, with a specific interest in occultism from the second half of the nineteenth century until the twenty-first century. In my PhD dissertation, I analyze the reception of Tantra within European occultism c. 1900-1970, focusing German-speaking parts of Europe. The project is supervised by Professor Henrik Bogdan (University of Gothenburg), Associate Professor Jessica Moberg (University of Gothenburg), and Associate Professor Manon Hedenborg White (Malmö University).
