Sasja Emilie Mathiasen Stopa is Senior Researcher at the Center for Grundtvig Studies, Aarhus University. She holds a PhD in systematic theology, with a dissertation on Martin Luther’s theology. Her research focuses on contemporary systematic theology and Danish Lutheran thought, particularly the works of N. F. S. Grundtvig and K. E. Løgstrup, as well as the impact of Lutheran theology on Danish societal development during the 18th and 19th centuries. Stopa is currently investigating the cultural and historical evolution of Danish trust culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with particular emphasis on the role of N. F. S. Grundtvig and the Grundtvigian movement in shaping the transition from an absolutist regime to a democratic culture of trust.
