As the pandemic finally begins to let go of our lives, we at the Centre for Scandinavian Studies Copenhagen-Lund-Hankuk (CSS) want to once again welcome all scholars of Scandinavia around the world to Öresund and to our third international conference in Scandinavian Studies!
The conference will take place on 24-27 August, mostly at the Language and Literature Centre for Languages and Literature at Lund university, but we will also spend an afternoon in Copenhagen through a collaboration with the Frederiksberg Museums’ department for Danish humour and satire – STORM.
This year’s theme is Nordic humour in the world, an under-explored field that we expect will stimulate new and creative perspectives on the cultural and linguistic spheres of the Nordic countries. Our list of keynotes include distinguished researchers in this field, from Scandinavia but also from Korea and the US. And we are especially proud to be able to include renowned English philosopher Simon Critchleyamong them!

Due to the pandemic, the deadline for submitting abstracts has been extended to 15 March.
Once again, a warm welcome to Scandinavia and to Öresund this summer! And please spread the word to anyone who may be interested.
