On Tuesday 25 January at 15-17 CET the Neoliberalism in the Nordics research programme organizes an online seminar to discuss the new book Contesting Nordicness. From Scandinavianism to the Nordic brand edited by Jani Marjanen, Mary Hilson as well as Johan Strang from the programme. The book is a conceptual history examination of the adjective “Nordic” from the 19th century until today. Of special interest are the developments after the end of the Cold War, and the struggles for “the Nordic Model” under neoliberalism. The book will be shortly presented by the editors, then we will hear two comments by Jesper Vestermark Køber and Andreas Mørkved Hellenes before opening the floor for discussion. The book is available open access at: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110730104/html?lang=en.
