Film: Pan-nationalism and the Nordic Region
Watch a film about common interests across borders and how the Nordic region compares to other regions.
In films for the New Nordic Lexicon, researchers choose an object, event or concept that represents their research. Peter Stadius from the University of Helsinki chooses pan-nationalism, and explains what the Nordic Region is like compared with other pan-national constellations around the world. He is interviewed by editor of nordics.info, Nicola Witcombe.
Peter Stadius is the Research Director at the Centre for Nordic Studies at the University of Helsinki, but also speaks Spanish fluently and has researched how the Nordic Region is seen from outside. Peter also leads the research network 'Reimagining Norden in an Evolving World' (ReNEW).
Nicola Witcombe moved to Denmark in 2010 from the UK, and started nordics.info with her colleagues from ReNeW in 2019.
