About the event

In celebration of the publication of Scandinavian Studies' Dr Ruairidh Tarvet’s new edited volume 'European Minorities in Times of Crisis: Negotiating Identities' (Routledge), the Department of European Languages and Cultures is hosting a book launch event.

Spanning across Europe and bringing together several leading academics in the field, the book examines case studies from national minorities in Spain, Ukraine, Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, Italy, Austria and Czechia to explore how identities have shifted and adapted in response to a series of crises, including the so-called migrant crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The findings will be presented at this event and two DELC PhD students, Alex Payne and Emma Dussouchaud, will also contribute to the discussion by presenting their work on minority communities in crisis.

Canapés and soft drinks will be served after the discussion.

Are you interested in studying European Languages and Cultures?

Our interdisciplinary environment brings together specialists in nine European languages, and the many cultures worldwide in which they're spoken, with experts in film, literature, theatre, translation and intermediality. Working with colleagues elsewhere in LLC, and across the wider University, we are able to support research which crosses boundaries between disciplines and/or languages.
