The Crossings and Connections 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. The conference is being held entirely in-person; there will not be any virtual or hybrid sessions.

Below you will find a plethora of information regarding sessions at the Crossings and Connections Conference. These are early drafts and we expect some changes. Some of those updates will be in wording, layout and editing, and others will be date, time or location. But there are also a handful of other things that will be happening that we are not quite ready to share just yet.

We will continue to update this page as we near the conference.  And, we will have paper programs for all conference participants once you arrive.
