Crossings and Connections is a conference commemorating 200 years of Norwegian migration, June 18–June 22, 2025 at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. The conference is organized and presented by the Norwegian-American Historical Association, the Norwegian-American Historical Association – Norway, the Norwegian Teachers and Researchers Association of North America and the Norwegian Department at St. Olaf College.
The conference will offer a wide variety of experiences that will appeal to scholars and researchers of Norwegian migration. It will also include more general talks geared to the public. We are planning a multi-sensory event including opportunities to explore Norwegian-American music, dance, historic sites, and more! While rooted in the history of the the Norwegian migration, our event aims to foster dialog around the global phenomenon of migration today.
