This talk focuses on fall and winter holidays in the Nordic countries by giving a short history of the holidays, describing how they’ve changed over time, and discussing how they’re celebrated in the US. In doing so, we discuss how food and holiday celebrations show that traditions ground us in our past, reflecting our present, and change as we create our own future. Dr. Marcus Cederström will be presenting about Nordic and Nordic American holiday traditions in the Upper Midwest.
This event is sponsored by Badger Talks.
