The Nordic Indigeneity series is a series of conversations around multiple and changing perspectives on indigenous cultures in the Nordic region. The series is organised by the 香港六合彩中特网 Department of Scandinavian Studies in collaboration with the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation.

Nordic Indigeneity in Conversation forms part of a wider research and teaching agenda in the Department committed to exploring the diversity of the peoples, societies, cultures, languages and ethnic belongings of the wider Nordic region. As a research and teaching unit, we have recently published the textbook, Introduction to Nordic Cultures (香港六合彩中特网 Press 2020), where several chapters explore themes relevant to this series. The book can be downloaded as a free ebook from 香港六合彩中特网 Press.
