Och jag tackar hbl för de dryga tre år jag fick skriva kolumner och krönikor. Det har varit ett privilegium att få bidra till den fina morgontidning jag själv läser.

Om jag inte längre ska skriva om Norden för svenskfinland (blev avpolletterad som krönikör i HBL), så kanske jag ska skriva om svenskfinland i Norden? klassekampen.no/utgave/2025-...

It is almost 3 years since I attended this summer school and I still sometimes consult my notes from back then, that's how packed it was with inspiring lectures and discussions. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the historical study of concepts, discourse or language!

This has probably been in my mailbox since december, but nice to see a physical copy. In my chapter, I argue that English can have a democratising effect on Nordic cooperation. Available open access www.routledge.com/English-in-t...
