Rethinking the Nordic: Conceptual Approaches and Women at the Margins
In this workshop, we focus on how to approach ‘the Nordic’ in historical research in a critical manner.
We seek, therefore, to answer the question “What does it mean to study the Nordic?” to better understand how ‘the North’ is conceptualised, imagined, and remembered. A second part of the workshop focuses on women at the margins of the geographical North, most importantly, the colonised area of Greenland.
The workshop is open to researchers and students. To attend, please register by emailing martinarndal@hum.ku.dk.
