Hot topics in current academic research on the Nordic region today include welfare, colonialism and heterogeneity. These – as well as a host of other issues - form the content of this podcast, the last in the series ‘The Nordics Uncovered: Critical Voices from the Region’. 

Editor of nordics.info, Nicola Witcombe, is joined by Mary Hilson Professor of History at Aarhus University in Denmark and  Peter Stadius Research Director at the Centre for Nordic Studies at Helsinki University. Their conversation also takes in: 

• Traditional histories versus new perspectives.
• A Europe of Regions e.g. the Oresund.
• The rise of nationalism.
• Finnish colonialism.
