The committee is a focal point for faculty members and students who want to teach or take courses related to Scandinavia or to do research on Scandinavian countries. Students can earn a minor in Scandinavian or a major in German with a focus on Scandinavian. Both academic programs are described in the German and Scandinavian section of this catalog. Overseas Study Students in all University of Oregon overseas study programs enroll in courses with subject codes that are unique to individual programs. Special course numbers are reserved for overseas study. See International Affairs in the Academic Resources section of this catalog. The university has student exchange programs with the University of Aalborg, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark’s International Study Program in Copenhagen, the University of Tampere in Finland, the Universities of Bergen and Oslo in Norway, and the University of Uppsala in Sweden. Area-studies courses not offered by the university can often be taken at one of the Nordic universities. The courses may be applied to the Scandinavian minor or the German and Scandinavian focus of the German major. Committee members have close ties to the information services of Nordic governments. As a result, books, periodicals, and newspapers regularly arrive from Nordic countries. Curriculum Courses appropriate for Scandinavian studies have been offered in anthropology, comparative literature, English, German and Scandinavian, political science, sociology, and other departments.

    Listening to Other Cultures: Rhetoric, Healthcare, and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Communication in the United States, Denmark, and Sweden by Kristin Bivens, MA A Dissertation in Technical Communication and Rhetoric Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Approved Amy Koerber, PhD Chair of Committee Kelli Cargile Cook, PhD Ken Baake, PhD Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School May, 2015 Copyright © 2015 Kristin Bivens Texas Tech University, Kristin Bivens, May 2015 Acknowledgements Writing this dissertation has been an act of endurance, humility, exploration, and wonder. It has been a pleasant journey, which has taken me from Chicago to Texas to Copenhagen to Sweden and back again. I am indebted to the support and understanding, first and foremost, of my beloved husband Gustav who nurtures and listens and cares beyond all. He has read and participated from the beginning of this journey, which led me to Scandinavia at his invitation. To you, my s.p., tack så mycket. My interest with nursing and nursing communication began with my family of origin: my mother and my father. My mother is a retired neonatal nurse; and it is my privilege to pay homage to my mother through my dissertation study—in each word, on each page, in each chapter, I honor and value her work. She introduced me to neonatal nursing and the emotional labor it entails, while taking the time to answer my questions (along with RNs at SJH in Springfield, Illinois) and inspiring me to be inquisitive and imaginative.

  • Catalogue of Photographs of Performers at the Embassy Theatre
    Catalogue of Photographs of Performers and Shows in the Archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation The archives of the Embassy Theatre Foundation hold more than 3000 artifacts, including more than 600 photographs of vaudevillians inscribed to Bud Berger (long-time stage man- ager at the Embassy Theatre, known as the Emboyd until 1952); more than 300 posters, playbills, programs, stools, and even guitars signed by the stars and casts of shows that have played at the Embassy Theatre over the past forty years, rang- ing from classic and current Broadway shows to acrobatic groups, choral ensembles, dance shows, ballet, stand-up comedians, rock bands, country singers, travel films, silent films, theatre organists, and so on; and hundreds of publicity photographs of performers, shows, and events at the theatre, primarily from the period following the establishment of the Embassy Theatre Foundation and its rescue of the theatre from the wrecking ball in 1975; and a nearly complete run of the journal of the American Theatre Organ Society. The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew. The publicity photographs are primarily of individ- ual performers, but a few shows are presented as well, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Barnum, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Cabaret, California Suite, Cats, A Christ- mas Carol, Dancin’, Evita, Gypsy, I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Same Time Next Year, Side by Side by Sondheim, and Ziegfeld: A Night at the Follies.

  • Scandinavian Studies Newsletter
    Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic + Scandinavian Studies Newsletter Fall 2020 Volume xxiv, Issue 1 1 A Message from the Program Chair Greetings to all of you. We sincerely hope that this newsletter finds you well and COVID-free. We also hope that our newsletter will provide you with some interesting reading material now that we’re once again pretty much confined to our homes. Needless to say, this has been a very strange semester for students, staff, and faculty. As you probably know, we started off with smaller classes taught face-to-face, but because of a surge of students testing positive for COVID, we soon had to shift to online teaching. After a couple of weeks, the COVID cases di- minished, and once again faculty and staff teaching low-enrollment classes were allowed back on campus in order to resume face-to-face teaching. Some chose to do so, while others did not. After Thanksgiving, we have all been teaching online. The winter break has been extended by one week, and spring break has been eliminated. This is, of course, an attempt to keep the virus from spreading. We have both good and sad news. We are delighted to welcome two new faculty members: Benjamin Mier- Cruz and Liina-Ly Roos. Both are featured in this newsletter. They bring to the Nordic Unit interesting, new courses and research projects, and we’re very happy to have them as colleagues. The sad news is that Peggy Hager, our lecturer in Norwegian, decided to retire. We’re going to miss her very much.

This hiatus leads us to reject diffusion by migration or acculturation. It favours integrationist models of contact between foragers and farmers and attributes the shift to agriculture to social competition between HGs.

  • Department of Scandinavian Studies
    DEPARTMENT OF Scandinavian Studies Message from the Chair TERJE LEIREN Celebrating the centennial of its founding is a significant milestone for any institution, no less an academic department at a major research university. Since its establishment by an act of the Washington State Legislature in 1909, the Department of Scandinavian Studies has grown and prospered, largely due to the dedication of its faculty and staff and the excellent character and quality of its students. To com- memorate the milestone, several celebratory events, including lectures, dinners, special programs, and conferences are being scheduled between now and the summer of 2010. Please stay in touch with us, check our departmental website, and plan to attend as many events as you can over the next two years. Of course, at the heart of what we do in the Department is teaching and scholarship. Cutting-edge research and innovative teaching enhance and broaden our knowledge about, and appreciation of, the Nordic region. Our comprehensive language programs and wide range of course offerings focusing on the five Nordic countries and the three Baltic countries make the Department unique in the world. The UW is the only North American university that regularly teaches Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian. In 2009–2010, we will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Baltic Studies program. By its very nature, the teaching at a research university is informed by the research of its teachers. All of the faculty in the Department of Scandinavian Studies are active scholars who bring their SPRING 2008 research back into the classroom, whether it be for a graduate seminar on literary theory, a discus- sion of Strindberg’s Paris, a broad introductory course on Scandinavian culture, or an advanced undergraduate course on the cinematic expressions of Scandinavian attitudes about sexuality or crime fiction.
