Interdisciplinary seminar on nationalism
23 January 2025
Arken, Helikon
Online participation via Zoom: https://aboakademi.zoom.us/j/66312703059 (Meeting ID: 663 1270 3059).

Many of us at Åbo Akademi are working on topics that have some connection to nationalism, even if nationalism would not be the main topic of the research. This interdisciplinary seminar, organised by Johanna Ilmakunnas (Nordic History) and Urpo Nikanne (Finnish Language) seeks to open a wider picture of nationalism in language, society, and culture and the research on it from all kinds of point of view. The seminar programme demonstrates how a number of issues in our research are linked to nationalism, today or in past, as well as within methodologies or theoretical perspectives.
