Carl L. Thunberg, FSAScot (born 25 October 1963) is a Swedish popular historian.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

Thunberg was a punk rock musician during his youth. In 1979 he co-founded the pioneering hardcore punk band Homy Hogs.[3][4] In this context he became a recurring character in the early comics of Joakim Lindengren.[5][6][7][8][9][10] He also appears in Stig Larsson's autobiographical novel När det känns att det håller på ta slut.[11]

Thunberg was educated at the University of Gothenburg and Uppsala University. He has lectured on didactic method for history as a school subject.[12][13] Thunberg became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 2016.[14]

Thunberg has in particular worked in various ways in the field of cultural environment work and heritage protection. From 2010 to 2012 he took part in the policy struggle to preserve the archaeological reconstructions at Gene fornby near Örnsköldsvik in Sweden.[15][16][17][18] In 2022 he was appointed chairman of Västernorrland County Museum.[19][20] In 2023 Thunberg became chairman of the Swedish antiquities fund Stiftelsen Björkå AB Fornminnesfond, a foundation for financial contributions to science within archaeological areas, and research grants for scholarly projects involving protected historic buildings, archaeological sites and ancient remains.[21][22]

In 2023 Thunberg joined the working group for Blue Shield Sweden's inclusion in Blue Shield International.[23][24][25][26] In 2024 the Swedish National Committee was approved as Blue Shield's 34th national committee.[27][28][29][30][31]
