Kerstin Anér

[1] She earned a PhD in 1948 from Göteborgs högskola, one of the precursors of the University of Gothenburg, with a thesis on the Swedish press and literary scene in the 1790s.

[3] She participated in a number of government inquiries into issues including privacy, research ethics, genetic technology and energy.

[5] She mentions the terms for the first time (in print) in the Christian cultural magazine Vår Lösen in 1972, in an essay entitled "Dataskuggan" (the Data Shadow).

Anér was a keen debater representing a Christian viewpoint, and spoke widely throughout Sweden in both churches and Liberal People's Party branches.

[6][7][8] Two of her hymns, Du är större än mitt hjärta and Jublande lyfter vi här våra händer, appear in the 1986 Church of Sweden hymnal.
