“Deep Mapping the ‘Uncharted Territories’ of Finnish Migrant-Settler History” is wrapping up

It’s hard to believe but the Kone Foundation-funded “Deep Mapping the ‘Uncharted Territories’ of Finnish Migrant-Settler History” project is officially coming to an end. This project has changed my research approach and way of looking, listening, and thinking about the world in so many ways. The work will continue in many ways. But for now, it’s time to share what I’ve been up to since the fall of 2020 and give thanks to Kone Foundation and everyone who has contributed to this project in one way or another.

One way that I am doing this is through a seminar afternoon on Thursday, November 27th. Here is the info:
