Danish History and Culture: Connecting with the Past So We Can Flourish in the FutureDanish History and Culture: Connecting with the Past So We Can Flourish in the Future
Thursday, October 12, 2023 - 4:00 pm
Denmark has a rich and vibrant history and culture. In the 1890s and the early 20th Century, more Danes immigrated to Iowa than to any other state. A large contingent is located in Cedar Falls. Unfortunately, many fourth- and fifth-generation descendants of Danish immigrants have a weak connection to the land of their ancestors. This talk will explore ways that Iowans can connect with Danish history and culture for the benefit of both.
Presenter Bio:
Frans Ørsted Andersen, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Education, Aarhus University. For nearly 20 years, his research focused on child play, creativity, and learning while employed in Research and Development by LEGO. He completed part of his PhD at Claremont Graduate University in Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Quality of Life Research Center. He has been a highly productive flow researcher, publishing studies in both Danish and English. His research in education focuses on special initiatives for marginalized youth, including comparative studies of US P-tech schools and similar initiatives in Denmark. He contributed to developing a graduate program in applied positive psychology at Aarhus University, and since 2022 has been active in Aarhus University's cross-curricular project (history, philosophy, psychology, and education), studying Danish emigration to the US from 1850-1920, particularly the flamboyant Danish-America, Chris Madsen (1851-1944).
