Call for Papers: now open

Crossings and Connections: Norwegian Migration to North America, St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minn., June 18–22, 2025

The organizers of the CC2025 conference are now accepting proposals for talks, workshops, and other opportunities.

The conference will focus on the time period of 1825–2025. Topics on earlier migrations to/from the East Coast of North America and the Dano-Norwegian colonization in the Caribbean from before 1825 are also encouraged.

We encourage submissions from scholars of all backgrounds and at all career stages, including historians working beyond the traditional academy, independent scholars, and doctoral students.

The conference offers a wide variety of experiences that will appeal to scholars and researchers of Norwegian migration while also providing foundational sessions geared to the public.

Themes of the conference include the reasons for, responses to, and impact of transnational Norwegian migration
