Our guest speakers are Bree Urkow and Ingrid Urberg from the University of Alberta Augustana Campus in Camrose. Bree will be speaking about Scandinavian programming at Augustana. Ingrid will be speaking on Norwegian culture and literature.

Cabins play a central role not only in the lives of individual Norwegians but also in the Norwegian collective imagination. This presentation will provide an introduction to Norway’s deeply ingrained cabin culture or hyttekultur. Cabin form, function and etiquette will be covered as well as the reasons why cabins are so closely linked to both individual and Norwegian national identity.
