ObjectivesThe anthropology of Scandinavia introduces diverse anthropological research perspectives through a multi-faceted presentation of Scandinavian and especially Norwegian society and culture. Course topics range from "classic" accounts of rural ways of life and agrarian society to diverse studies of the relationship between Scandinavia's dominant "peoples" and its indigenous and immigrant/refugee minorities. Special attention is given to Scandinavian modernity that is investigated with reference to institutions of the welfare state, contemporary themes in kinship, the feminist movement in Scandinavia, the construction of national cultures, multiculturalism, and finally, the autobiographies of contemporary Norwegians.
