About Maggie Kastlund
I am employed as a PhD Student in the History of Religions at the University of Gothenburg. My primary research interests are Hinduism and 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 textual materials produced by the occult group the Fraternitas Saturni (1926-), particularly focusing on constructions of gender, sexuality, and the reception of South Asian religion. The project is supervised by Associate Professor Jessica Moberg (University of Gothenburg) and Professor Egil Asprem (Stockholm University).
