'Er der en nordisk version af multikulturalisme?', spørger Turku Universitet og inviterer til en konference om emnet den 30. september 2010.
Is There a Nordic Version of Multiculturalism?
During the past several decades, the world’s advanced industrial nations have been confronted by the need to find new strategies for incorporating ethnic minorities into the mainstream of their respective societies. It is within this context that multiculturalism emerged as a new mode of incorporation, one that in various ways sought to both valorise difference and at the same time foster societal integration.
The conference will include keynote addresses by the scholars who can frame the topic of multiculturalism broadly. They are Peter Kivisto (Univ. of Turku and Augsburg College), Ewa Morawska (Univ. of Essex), Leena Huss (Univ. of Uppsala), Fakhra Salimi (MiRA, Oslo), Pasi Saukkonen (Cupora, Helsinki) and Garbi Schmidt (National Centre for Social Research, Copenhagen), who will contribute to the discussion by focusing attention on international perspectives or the unique cases of the four Nordic nations.
