Remains of the Soviet Past in Estonia
The FRINGE series explores the roles that complexity, ambivalence and immeasurability play in social and cultural phenomena.A cross-disciplinary initiative bringing together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and area studies, the series examines how seemingly opposed notions such as centrality and marginality, clarity and ambiguity, can shift and converge when embedded in everyday practices
The Apple Never Falls Far from the Tree—Or does It? Finnish Female Migrant Transnational Generations on the Swedish Labor Market

The experiences of second-generation Finnish immigrants and their descendants open up new possibilities for …
