Possibilities for young Sámi to build Sámi identity through music, Joik and story telling meets Indhome:

During the spring of 2024, we are holding weekly interdisciplinary research seminars that are organised and led by professors in the research profile areas. A new theme is discussed each term. 

WRS welcomes all SKH teachers, senior researchers, PhDs, MA students, and an invited public, WRS are SKHs primary context for encountering the research happening within and in relation to SKH.

WRS provides a regular time and space for internal and external researchers to come together to share a variety of practices, perspectives and approaches, to identify affinities and differences, to raise common lines of enquiry, and to engage in critical discourse and intersubjective dialogue across an array of themes, subject areas and artistic disciplines.

Possibilities for young Sámi to build Sámi identity through music, Joik and story telling meets Indhome: Indigenous Homemaking as Survival

When: 21 February, 13:00-16:00
Where: SKH, Brinellvägen 58, Studio 9
Who: Ylva Hofvander Trulsson and Krister Stoor
Subject area: Dance Pedagogy and Sami Studies 
Host: Rebecca Hilton

Ylva Hofvander Trulsson: “This lecture presentation will outline narratives drawn from representatives from the Sámi population in Sweden, Sámi coordinators in Swedish administrative municipalities and educational and/or cultural officials. The results evidence both obstacles and possibilities, hope for change and mistrust and disappointment in relations between Sámi and Swedish authorities. Sharing theories and methodologies that have emerged in indigenous research, I will describe a complex sometimes contradictory relationship between municipalities and different Sámi generations with mixed interests and needs. I will also problematize methodological issues regarding the researcher's role as an outsider or insider when entering a social context.”
 
Krister Stoor: 
“My research unfolds intangible cultural heritage as a social force, exploring this through theoretical and practical approaches to joik and storytelling. I am particularly interested in how traditional stories reappear in contemporary contexts. Currently I am involved in the project, Indigenous Home, in collaboration with Nord University, Bodø."
