Scandinavian 30: Money can鈥檛 buy you HYGGE听Presented by听Kristian N忙sby
February 4, 7:30 pm | Jones Playhouse
HYGGE – No other Scandinavian topic has drawn more attention over the last decade. Hundreds of books and articles have been written to explain the quaint combination of coziness, candles, woolen socks and hot chocolate to the American audience. But there is more to HYGGE than meets the eye. This talk looks beyond the tranquil representation of HYGGE outside of Denmark to discuss the real pros and cons of this Danish and international sensation.
Short, snappy, entertaining: Scandinavian 30 is a series of free, thirty-minute talks by UW Scandinavian Studies faculty the second Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM at the Nordic Museum.
