Place Univesitetsklubben, Umeå universitet

Umeå Group for Premodern Studies organizes a workshop on new Swedish and Finnish historical research on early modern Sweden-Finland (1500-1800) – collaboration and research studies across state- and language boundaries

The aim of the workshop is to discuss and initiate studies that cross the language barrier and the modern nation-state perspective that has for long time characterized Swedish and Finnish historical research on the early modern period 1500-1800. Swedish historians still prefer to do research on the Swedish parts of the kingdom and Finnish historians on the Finnish. Research studies that include both parts of the former Swedish kingdom are few. In addition, there is the obstacle in research communication set by the language barrier. In general, research studies and PhD theses are published in Swedish and Finnish respectively. The barrier is now slowly beginning to be bridged by the increasing number of studies and theses published in English, but a large part of both previous and current research is still only available in Finnish and thus difficult to access or even unknown to Swedish historians. Against this background, the task of the workshop is to bring together a mixture of established and new scholars and doctoral students, to give an overview of previous and ongoing research in the field.

Discussions will deal with the possibility and benefits of developing comparative perspectives and research studies that include both the Swedish and the Finnish parts of the early modern kingdom.
