Biography

Thunberg received his advanced education at the University of Gothenburg and Uppsala University. Through development work, Thunberg has been committed to issues concerning the situation of didactic method for history as a school subject. He was a lecturer in this field during the research conference Svenska historikermötet ("Swedish Historians' Meeting") in 2017 at Mid Sweden University.^[23][24] Thunberg became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 2016.^[25] He participated in the excavations of 2009 in Ytterby which resulted in the finding of what has been interpreted as the precursor to Kungahälla.^[26] From 2010 to 2012 he was the driving force in the victorious cultural policy struggle to preserve the archaeological reconstructions at the archaeological site Genesmon (also known as Gene fornby) outside Örnsköldsvik in Sweden.^{[27][28][29][30]}
