Young people from across the Nordic countries came together to interview researchers on topics of the day for the New Nordic Lexicon podcast series. Recording took place in 2023 in Aarhus, Helsinki, Oslo and Södertörn. The students and researchers were mainly from the six ReNEW partner universities, and many of them travelled from another Nordic country to take part. All the subject areas and discussion points were chosen by young people and checked with the researchers beforehand. The episodes are mainly in English with some in the Scandinavian languages.
The researchers included: Norbert Götz from the ReNEW Steering Group and Södertörn University; Mari Teigen from the Institute for Social Research in Norway; and, Tuire Liimatainen from the ReNEW Emerging Scholars Network and the Migration Institute of Finland.
The students included: Kristen Lutro, a high school student from Bergen Private Gymnasium; Daniela Lange Andersen from Russian Studies at Aarhus University; and, Mattias Carlberg who is studying Music and Pedagogy at Malmö Academy of Music (Lund University) and is also a presenter on Nordljud (Nordic Student Radio).
Other research groups involved included: Civil Society without Boundaries: Nordic Humanitarianism Facing the Biafra Crisis (2022-2024); Planning with Youth; and Young People Network for Balticness.
A podcast from the series was published once every two weeks from September 2023 to March 2024, and each episode lasts around 30 minutes. The podcast is available by going to
