Join us tonight at 6pm for Vesterdalen’s celebration of Norwegian Constitution Day. Tormod Svennson and John Fatland have been hard at work preparing the Polse med Lompe for dinner. Celebratory cakes are also on the menu. There will be a live program, Musical Migration, at 7pm. It is an exploration of music composed by Norwegians who immigrated to the United States over the last two centuries, performed by Laura Loge and pianist Steven Luksan. This music is a reflection of the composers who left everything behind for an opportunity in a new land, and who brought their music with them, shaped by their struggles, new adventures, and longing for their homeland and distant families.

If you have a Bunad or Norwegian Sweater, please wear it to help with the celebration!

New book alert! And 25% off!!

The paperback edition of 'Nordic War Stories: World War II as History, Fiction, Media, and Memory' was just published, and was not only edited by our own Dr. Marianne Stecher-Hansen, but has chapters contributed by a variety of department colleagues (Dr. Amanda Doxtater) and graduates (Liina-Ly Roos, Jan Krogh Nielsen, Mark Mussari, and Peter Valsson).

Don't just take my word for it:

“This edited volume is an indispensable contribution to World War II studies of cultural memory and
representation. Although too often placed at the margins of great-power narratives about the larger
European theater of war, the five Nordic nations here receive the nuanced, rigorous, and riveting
investigations they have long deserved, especially within a comparative, pan-Nordic context. Theoretically
rich in its engagement with memory and post-memory studies, this collective work brilliantly documents
and brings to life a war that ended some 75 years ago yet continues to shape and reshape powerful
national narratives of identity, destiny, guilt, innocence, cowardice, and valor." • Scandinavian Studies

“As a whole, this is an interesting anthology that participates in opening a very fertile area of research. Its
comparative approach brings many new elements into play that can contribute positively to the national
approaches of previous studies” • Edda

A 25% discount is being offered through September 30th to anyone who would like to purchase this fascinating book, with discount code STEC3412
