The accuracy of this tweet is disturbing.

Great interview with Jonathan Katz. "Americans don't understand structures." Oof, that one hits home.

While suicide is an important mental health issue in #Nordics, rates are fairly average - so why does the myth that it is more common here live on? https://t.co/uVyEHFANb3 @FinlandToday @ProfRGWilkinson @maiasz

Last October, I had the chance to record a pair of podcasts with two other historians where we went in depth about the history and utilization of the Nordic model concept, as well as speculating on its lasting popularity. Give it a listen @nordicsinfo

The HCA Spring Academy seems like a great opportunity for postgrads working with American studies in Europe to present and get feedback on their research. I benefited a lot from similar workshops as a PhD! https://t.co/2NvlJGUIu8

Bornholmske Billeder's collection of pictures has helped me significantly as I study material objects like prams and strollers and their context within the Nordic model. Well worth checking out! https://t.co/MX2ESMJrLh #Bornholmskebilleder #nordicmodel

This month, we launched an exciting project at Aarhus University called "Nordic model(s) in the global circulation of ideas, 1970-2020." Follow the project here:
