Peter Stadius is professor in Nordic Studies and director of Centre for Nordic Studies (CENS). He has a PhD in history, and his research interests include image studies of the Nordic Region, both in a historical longue durée perspective and as part of current branding practices.
In recent times he has also pursued research on regionalisms, minorities and identity politics in the Nordic Region. As a university lecturer in Nordic Studies from 2006 to 2013, and later in his current position, he has also developed other research themes connected to the cultural history of the Nordic Welfare State and the dynamics of Nordic cooperation and the culture and strategies of articulated Nordicness in a historical perspective.
