Two-Day Seminar on Polish Literature and Polish Studies in Scandinavia.

Join us for an inspiring two-day seminar that delves into the intricate intersections of identity, politics, and the notion of home as portrayed in contemporary Polish literature. This event brings together a dynamic mix of academics, researchers, translators, and writers to explore how modern Polish authors confront and reinterpret themes such as gender, ethnicity, Jewishness, migration, and belonging. Through engaging lectures, thought-provoking discussions, and collaborative roundtables, we will also examine the impacts of historical memory, class dynamics, and intersectionality, situating Polish literature within a broader global cultural and literary dialogue.
