Culture & Conversation Series: Exploring the Shaping of Swedish Identity with Byron Nordstrom

Like all national identities, the concept of what it means to be ‘Swedish’ was created. ASI volunteer and retired professor Byron Nordstrom will discuss how art, literature, music, craft, history, and more, were put to the task of defining what it meant to be Swedish during the major waves of immigration to the U.S.

Culture & Conversation is a monthly series presented by the American Swedish Institute that explores cultural intersections between Sweden, Scandinavia, and communities around the world.
