‘The Future as Promise. Community, Inquiry, and World-Making’
Jakob Egholm Feldt is a professor of history at Roskilde University. He focuses on the transactions between experiences, concepts, and values from a historical perspective, particularly concerning antisemitism, Jewish history, and public/civil sphere controversies regarding historical and social justice. In a broader context, his research analyzes the role of historical experience and temporality in shaping community and solidarity through narratives of suffering, justice/injustice, memories of “events”, and socially produced notions of direction and purpose in history (synchronization and teleology). He also publishes on the philosophy and theory of higher education. From 2018 to 2025, he served as co-director of Roskilde University’s research center for problem-oriented project learning.
