by lorenz on Dec 3, 2004 in culture traditions, Us and Them, Europe, migration, interdisciplinary

University of Oslo

Cultural complexity in the new Norway, represents a large commitment by the University of Oslo towards research on cultural diversity. This is the first time in the history of the University of Oslo that it is being worked cross-disciplinary to such an extent.

Through interdisciplinary cooperation, the research project will be able to present new perspectives on Norway as a multicultural society, project manager Professor in Social Anthropology Thomas Hylland Eriksen promised.

It is of great importance to focus on other identities than ethnic ones. >> continue
