Biography
editBrorsson was born in the town of Båstad in Kristianstad County. In 1989 she doctored at Lund University in Swedish-German relations around year 1900. She became a research assistant there in 1992, docent in 1999 and professor in 2008 at Lund University. Werner converted to Catholicism in 1987,[2] and has especially researched the history of Catholicism in the Nordic countries during the 19th and 20th centuries.[3] She has written numerous works in this area. In her research, she has investigated how moral values change over time and how they look in different societies, as well as how the moral values are conveyed to citizens and how the society reacts to ideological deviants.[2]
Werner has participated in and facilitated several research projects, including the Nordic project The Women's Monastery Movement in the Nordic Region. A feminine counterculture in modern society, which ended in 2004, and Christian masculinity - a paradox of modernity: Men and religion in a Northern European context 1840-1940, which lasted until 2010. During the period 2005–2013, Werner was chairwoman of the Historical Society (Svenska Historiska Föreningen) at Lund. She has participated in the Swedish Research Council's Preparatory Group for Historical Sciences, Postdoctoral and Reorganization Panel in several rounds, and has also participated as a reviewer for other scientific councils and foundations in Sweden and in the Nordic region.
In addition to her work, Werner was employed as a tour leader for Catholic places in Italy, such as Assisi and Rome.[4][5]
