Présentation

Helle Vogt (born 1974) has since 2009 been assistant Professor in Legal History, at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Since she got her PhD in 2005 her work has mainly focused on comparative studies of Nordic law and legal practice primarily in the middle ages and early modern times. A big part of her work has focused on penal laws, kinship, the construction of family and the interaction with religious norms and learned law. Since 2012 she has been the leader of a project about translating the Danish medieval laws to English (to be published February 2016). From 2003-2014 she has been the chief organiser of the Carlberg Academy Conferences on Medieval Legal History. She had also participated in a number of other collective projects, including Foundations and space of action of Nordic inheritance law: Strategies, relations and historical development c. 1100-2020 (2014-2015 granted 500.000 € from the Norwegian Research Council for the research group members to be fellows at the Centre for Advanced Study, Oslo).
