10-11 April, 9am the traditional and every year new Scandinavian Lecturers' Conference will take place in the Department of Philology, Room 92. This year's conference will look at Scandinavian literature from a queer perspective, challenging traditional, normative definitions of identity, especially (but not only) gender.
The event will bring together writers, performers and researchers from five Nordic countries to present their work and insights, contributing to the literary and cultural dialogue in the region. The conference is a great opportunity to explore the literary worlds of the Nordic countries and their influence on contemporary trends.
Participants and countries:
- Madame Nielsen (Denmark)
- Moa Backe Åstot (Sweden)
- Siiri Enoranta (Finland)
- Eva Rún Snorradóttir (Iceland)
- Robin Van de Walle (Norway)
- prof. Jenny Björklund (Sweden)
Lectures and discussions will be held in both Scandinavian and English.
The conference programme and more information about the participants can be found at the Scandinavian Studies Centre FB profile.
