“En bra plats att vara på” (Artos Academic 2016) is an anthropological study of long-term integration and diversity work in the Church of Sweden.

NORDHOST arranged the group’s first open seminar titled Still a Nordic Welfare State? Religion, Migration, Values at The Faculty of Law, University of Oslo 4th and 5th December, followed by a day and half of NORDHOST business. Six excellent keynote speakers were invited and challenged to reflect on given titles, delivering enlightening talks for plenary discussions.

NORDHOST is happy to welcome a new affiliated PhD. fellow from Denmark, with an exciting, highly relevant project.

Several of the NORDHOST researchers have new publications out.

Even though NORDHOST officially started 1st of February this year, the entire group has not had the pleasure of meeting until now. Our first workshop took place at Holmen Fjordhotell over a couple of days in late August.

After months of developing the idea of a book series that explores practices and challenges related to migration and religion, Routledge has approved the proposed plan!

At The Faculty of Theology a new master program has been developed, called Religion and Diversity: Conflict and Coexistence (REDI), starting fall 2017. As a result of NORDHOST, the course Religion, Migration and Citizenship is developed as part of the new program.
