Workshop The legacy of gendered migrations in the Nordic world

Aarhus (Moesgård museum, Aarhus University), 29-30 May 2024

The purpose of the workshop is to facilitate the startup of a new network, and to start exchanging ideas and knowledge in order to build a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration. Our academic aims will be to explore more nuanced understandings of how and why people move and migrate over short and long distances, to investigate how mobility creates, influences, and changes regional trajectories, and thereby to obtain deep-time understandings of migrations. The first workshop aims at challenging stereotypical images of gendered migrations and regionality, and will be organized around four strands:

Strand 1 The legacy of gendered migrations in the Nordic world

Strand 2 Theoretical and methodological approaches to gendered human mobility and migration. Perspectives from human geography and anthropology

Strand 3 Migrations and regional dynamics. Perspectives from science and GIS-based archaeology.

Strand 4 The evolvement of Nordic Bronze Age gender identities

Workshop Post-colonial challenges and future directions in cultural psychology

Department of Special Needs Education, University of Oslo, 30 May-2 June 2024

30 researchers from the different Institutions, and several online participants, will have an intensive 4 days of discussion about the way psychological sciences can overcome the limits of epistemology universalism voicing the non-hegemonic traditions of knowledge production outside the Global North, and how to acknowledge the persisting consequences of colonialism on mental health.

Workshop: Civil Society in the Nordic Countries – old and new ways of theorizing civil society?”

Copenhagen, 2024 

Studying and analysing civil societies has been a permanent part of the research agenda in the Nordic countries the last 30-40 years. Many scholars have brought different theories and methods into this field of study in order to investigate the importance of civil society in a
Nordic context including the role of civil society in the development of the welfare state. Different traditions such as functionalist approaches, system theory or theories embedded in a rationalist conception of action can be found in the Nordic civil society traditions. Others have focused on the concept of civil society. Some has been looking into conceptual historical perspectives and others have chosen a more pragmatist approach. This workshop will investigate some of the different theoretical traditions we can trace in the
Nordic civil society research. We will discuss three issues: 1) What does ‘theorizing’ actually means in different civil society conceptualization and different theories?; 2) Is research in the Nordic countries dominated by one strong paradigm or are different theories competing providing different explanations? Can we even talk about an ‘orthodox consensus’?; 3) What are the consequences for ‘civil society’ that we use different ways of theorizing? Does it have any implications for politics and/or the day-to-day life of ordinary people? Contact: Lars Bo Kaspersen, lbk.mpp@cbs.dk.
