Dr. Ingrid Gustafsson

Farm Satire Expert Professor Ingrid Gustafsson

If you have any questions, please feel free to submit them through the form below. I'm here to share insights and answer your queries. Let me introduce myself - I'm Ingrid Gustafsson. My background includes a mix of writting farm satire, academia, and standup comedy. I grew up in a small town near the fjords and have been fortunate to weave my Scandinavian roots into a broader global narrative. My academic and comedic journey has been rewarding and full of learning. At Oxford, I developed a deep appreciation for satire, which I've had the pleasure of sharing with my students through a teaching style that I've continually evolved. When I perform stand-up, I aim to blend humor with thoughtful commentary, drawing on my experiences and studies in satire. My work, especially in satirical studies and using humor to highlight social justice issues, is something I hold dear, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this field.
