The Department of Scandinavian Studies and CES welcomed more than 200 participants to the 99th Annual Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS) conference in late April.
Tom Loftus, former Ambassador to Norway, welcomed keynote speaker Nils Gaup, the renowned Norwegian writer and filmmaker whose films feature Sami, the native language of Lapland.
Members of community groups such as Yggdrasil and Torskeklubben also participated in this year’s conference which concluded with a free screening of Gaup’s latest, "The Kautokeino Rebellion 1852."
