roland ThorsTensson

Gustavus faculty member 1971—2010

careers of service

A Scandinavianist whose Swedish education included “lots of Latin,” Roland Thorstensson is partial to two Latin admonitions, festina lente (make haste slowly) and mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body).

Since boyhood days on a farm in Sweden, and through a 39-year career as a professor of Scandinavian Studies and Swedish at Gustavus, Thorstensson has approached life with unhurried productivity.

“I don’t like the frantic speed with which we are expected to learn and the fragmentation of knowledge that is so much part of modern society,” he says. He counsels over-involved Gustavus students to move forward at a good pace but not so fast that they cannot see what they are doing.

Thorstensson came to Gustavus to direct a new program of Scandinavian studies in 1971. Over the decades he has helped the College create several student and faculty exchange programs with Nordic institutions and led a number of study-away courses in Sweden and Norway. He has continuously taught the Swedish language, as well as courses on Nordic literature, theater, and cinema; the culture of Sami people; and in his mid-career he even taught courses in physical education, both activity courses and theoretical

courses (The History and Practice of Cross-Country Skiing—a January Term course—he remembers fondly). He’s finishing his last semester with a Swedish-language course called “Young in Sweden,” on the treatment of the child in Swedish literature and film, and a course in English on the Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.

Thorstensson appreciates Gustavus’s historic and present-day ties to Sweden. “Sweden today has a multicultural and diverse population that is confronting the issues of modern times but with different laws, approaches, and attitudes than those the students here may be used to hearing about. Whether you agree with the Swedish (and Nordic) views on health care, education, immigration, sustainability, and stewardship of nature or not, these views need to be given a forum. Gustavus can provide that forum.”

While his mind has been focusing on researching and describing the Nordic world in an academic setting for almost four decades, his body has seldom been idle. There have been cross-country ski and foot races galore. He is veteran of 19 marathons, a few of them under three hours. In those races, did he make haste slowly?

No, he confesses: “Then I was in a hurry.”

During 2009, Gustavus began using

a Zeiss LSM 700 laser (scanning)

confocal microscope for program

support in the biological sciences.

This new, high-end scientific

research tool is currently the

only one of its kind at a liberal

arts college in the nation. Valued

at approximately $250,000, the

microscope was purchased in

part with funds from a Howard

Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI)

grant of $960,250. It opens up

entirely new avenues for research

projects, both collaborative and

interdisciplinary, and is already

being put to good use by faculty

and students. Confocal microscopy

permits innovative approaches

to unraveling the underlying

mechanisms of cell communication,

gene expression, and cellular

development. Microscopes like

Gustavus’s Zeiss allow scientists

to create clean three-dimensional

images of a sample through

a controllable focal plane and

elimination of out-of-focus glare.The

fully equipped, entirely motorized

confocal instrument featuring four

lasers, three detectors, and superior

optics, will eventually serve as the

centerpiece of a new Visualization

and Imaging Center in the Gustavus

Alfred Nobel Hall of Science.
