Compulsory and elective courses

This course situates the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland) within processes of colonialism. The course contrasts analytical notions about ‘empty land’, ‘legitimate expansion’, ‘internal colonialism’ and ‘colonialism without colonies’. Students will engage with questions of reconciliation and the repatriation of objects to the places from where they were once removed. The course connects past and present, and enquires into colonial legacies impacting both public policies and private business ventures in present contexts.
