Birgitta Ingemanson (b. 1944) is a Swedish scholar on Russian culture, literature, and film studies. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden. She graduated from the University of Stockholm in 1967 before spending a year abroad at Leningrad State University, USSR, from 1968 to 1969. Ingemanson then traveled to the United States where she earned her MA and PhD from Princeton University in 1972 and 1975, respectively. She began working at Washington State University in 1977, teaching Russian language, literature, and culture. She began to develop collaborations with WSU faculty in other departments teaching Soviet and Russian studies, and together they created the Soviet (later renamed Russian) Area Studies Program.
