Many people in North Dakota have important heritage ties to Norway and Scandinavia. But how has Norway changed in the decades - or even the century - since our Norwegian ancestors left that country for the opportunities and adventures afforded them in North Dakota?
Though some of the hallmarks of heritage Norway still remain, modern day Norway has become quite a different and exciting country that prides itself on gender equality, environmental stewardship, progressive politics, technological advancements, and a strong welfare state.
This course will allow us to understand and discuss what historical forces shaped this modern culture and how Norway has created a society that consistently ranks as one of the happiest, most educated, and healthiest in the world.
