All information may not be relevant for all participants. For more specific questions, please e-mail us: Tron Harald Torneby: [email protected] Magnus Aase: [email protected] University of Oslo The Faculty of Social Sciences Monday Morning Registration (20th of July and 27th of July) Registration takes place in Georg Sverdrups Hus (The University Library) at Blindern University Campus between 9.15 and 10.15 Monday 20th of July and Monday 27th of July. Please show up in due time! Oslo Summer School Information Office This is the main source of information during Oslo Summer School. The office is located just next to where the lectures are held, in the Georg Sverdrups Hus (The University Library). The Information Office will be open every day during the two weeks of the summer school (except Saturday and Sunday) from 09.30 to 15.30. The Oslo Summer School staff will be present to provide you with information and assistance. Please stop by, at least once a day, for news and updates, events, activities, and other relevant information. Opening Hours – Georg Sverdrups hus (the University Library) Unfortunately, the Library building has rather restricted opening hours during summer. Summer opening hours are as follows: Monday-Friday: 09.00 - 16.00. Thursday: 09.00- 17.00. Saturday and Sunday: Closed. Computer Access at the University of Oslo Many of you will probably bring your own laptops and would want to use the University of Oslo wireless network during and between classes. There are several options, but we recommend that those of you who have the possibility use Eduroam, allowing you to connect to the campus wireless network using your home institution log-in credentials. Another possibility is the conference option that is set up for the Oslo Summer School 2015, and this wireless network is accessible in Georg Sverdrups hus (the University Library building). Username and password for this option will be given to you at our Information Office upon request. Read more about the wireless networks at University of Oslo here: http://www.uio.no/english/services/it/network/wireless/ 2 General Transport Information Getting Here: Arriving Oslo by Plane Most of you will arrive at Oslo’s main airport Gardermoen (OSL). Getting from Gardermoen to the Oslo Central Station (Oslo Sentralstasjon or Oslo S), you have three public transportation options of varying expenses: 1: First, the airport express train (Flytoget) brings you to Oslo Central Station (Oslo S) comfortably in about twenty minutes time. Ordinary price is NOK 180, students aged 21-31 with a valid student ID pay NOK 90. Arriving at Oslo Central Station (Oslo S), you will enter the city at Jernbanetorget, which is also the name of Oslo downtown’s main transportation hub. For most of you, this is the most convenient option. 2: The second option is shuttle buses, either SAS Flybussen or Flybuss-ekspressen. The buses can be less expensive than the train, but also less time-efficient, since they stop at a number of Oslo destinations: depending on where you stay in Oslo, this may be the best option. Tickets for SAS Flybussen are NOK 175, students under 31 years NOK 100. Tickets for Flybussekspressen are NOK 225, students under 30 years NOK 110. 3: Finally, you have the option of taking a taxi. They are plentiful but the prices are very steep, ranging from NOK 500-1600 from the airport to downtown depending on company and time of day. The Oslo Summer School does not recommend this option. Should your flight arrive at Torp Airport in Sandefjord rather than Gardermoen, expect an hour and a half in a shuttle bus before you reach Oslo. The ordinary airport bus ticket costs NOK 250 from Torp Airport to Oslo, students NOK 180. Using the airport bus from Torp, you will arrive at the Oslo Central Station, where you easily will find subway, bus and tram lines for further transportation. 3 Getting Around: Public Transportation in Oslo Downtown Oslo is fairly small, and walking around is an enjoyable way to discover the city. Additionally, a well-developed public transportation system makes it easy getting around. You should get hold on a copy of the city transit map “Ruters Oslokart” showing all subway, tram, and bus lines in Oslo. The map is free at the transportation info centre Trafikanten (below the big clock tower in front of the Central Station). Here you also will be able to purchase all kinds of tickets. The Public Transit Agency “Ruter” also have a convenient mobile app called “RuterReise” available for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone that lets you view real-time service schedule and plan trips. Subway, tram, bus and boat share the same ticket system within Oslo. Tickets are valid for one hour and allow transfer between all the four means of transportation. You can buy tickets at Narvesen, 7-eleven, and Deli de Luca convenience stores, found all around the city. One ticket to the tram/subway/bus/boat costs NOK 30 if bought in advance, and NOK 50 if bought from the driver on the bus/tram. We nevertheless strongly recommend you purchase a one-week travel card (“7-dagers kort”) at the cost of NOK 280. This card gives unlimited access to all means of public transportation for one week. To avoid fines, remember to validate the card the first time you use it. Some travel agencies recommend the ”Oslo Pass” for tourists, which gives you free transportation and free access to some museums for NOK 290 for 24 hours. We do not recommend this, as it is cheaper for most to buy the “7-dagers kort” and pay entrance at the museums you wish to visit. The Tram System in Oslo The tram’s route network primarily covers the inner city, but have a couple of longer lines out to the residential areas west and south of the city centre. The Subway System in Oslo Oslo’s underground train network (called “T-bane” and signified by a blue circle around a large blue “T”) is shaped like a bowtie from east to west, with six lines scattered around Oslo’s suburbs. Most downtown stations are therefore shared by all the lines, which makes it easy to find or change trains. Go to your closest subway station, find out where you are on the map, and make sure you’re travelling in the right direction. 4 Buses in Oslo Newcomers to Oslo will in most cases not have to rely on buses to get around the city. Travelling by bus nevertheless gives the opportunity to get to some of the museums, parks, and other places of interest around the city, such as Bygdøy. Taxi Taxis are never a cheap alternative (and especially not in Norway), but it is of course more convenient and efficient than anything else. The vast majority of taxi drivers speak English. Your taxi should have a white Taxi-sign on the roof (indicating that it is official and registered) to ensure your own safety. How to Get to the University of Oslo Blindern Campus All Oslo Summer School events and lectures are located at the University of Oslo Blindern Campus. Campus and downtown Oslo is connected by both subway and tram, so getting here should not be a problem. By tram: At the main square outside Oslo Central Station you will find the tram stops, where lines 17 and 18 (westbound to “Rikshospitalet”) will bring you to Blindern Campus in about 20 minutes time. Exit at the stop named “Universitetet Blindern”. Both tram lines also passes the stop for Scandic Holberg Hotel for those staying there, which is named “Holbergs plass”. To get from the “Universitetet Blindern” tram stop to the Georg Sverdrups hus, simply cross the tracks and walk through the campus until you reach the big open square where you will see the University Library called “Georg Sverdrups hus” in black marble stones in front of you slightly to the left (it is the most modern looking building on campus). By subway: To reach Blindern Campus by subway, you can take either line 4 Ringen or line 6 Sognsvann westbound and exit at the stop called “Blindern.” Walk straight ahead and you will see the University Library almost immediately. The ride from the Central Station takes about 10 minutes. By bus: While it is possible to get to the Campus by bus, none of the bus lines to pass through the city centre. We recommend the tram or subway! 5 Campus Guide The main campus at the University of Oslo, Blindern, is located on the western side of the city. Here you will find the administration for The Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences, Education, Mathematics and Natural Sciences, as well as the central administration for the University. The Blindern Campus functions like a small community consisting of several stores, cafeterias, welfare services and student organizations. The University Foundation for Student Life (SIO) is in charge of welfare services such as the Social Counsellors Office, health services and day care centres.

Sailing on the sloop Restaurationen, the first boatload of Norwegian immigrants arrived in New York in 1825. By heritage they were Lutheran; by birth they were members of the State Church of Norway. But not all Norwegians viewed their spiritual life as a mere extension of the State Church. At the time of this early emigration, many had been influenced by Hans Nielsen Hauge (1771-1824), the lay evangelist who led a spiritual awakening throughout Norway, primarily in rural areas. So effective was this awakening that some church officials, opposed to revival, had Hauge imprisoned. Yet lay workers continued the movement Hauge had begun until almost all areas of Norway had been reached. In general, followers of Hauge believed there was more to being a Christian than having one’s name registered in the State Church records.

Organizers: Evandro Fei Fang, Hilde Loge Nilsen, Jon Storm-Mathisen and Linda Hildegard Bergersen To address new developments in academia and society we need interdisciplinary research that broadens our perspective and asks the unexpected questions.
