Time; 13-15

Room: 326

Responsible: Peter Johansson

Part 2 focuses on the case of the Sami in Sweden. The focus of the discussion is, among other things, the question of how Sweden has legally defined who is Sami over the past 100 years and what consequences this has entailed for the Sami on both an individual and collective level. We will also discuss the role of reindeer husbandry for Sami identity and recognition as an indigenous people as well as some of the reindeer herding conditions. Sweden's relationship with ILO Convention No. 169 will also be addressed and finally, an overview of conflicts around land use in Sapmi will be presented and discussed.

Power Point:

Pre-recorded material from HT2020

If for various reasons, such as illness, you cannot attend the lecture on November 30, you can instead take part in the content of the lecture via the recorded videos below from 2020. Not much has changed since then. The first part of the lecture on ethnicity and nationalism is more or less the same. Most of all, it differs that there were certain discussion questions that formed the basis of a seminar that was tied to the lecture. These questions are asked in the movies and in my power point. If you want answers to these questions, you can look in my power point for this year's lecture above.

In the second part of the lecture dealing with the Sami, there has been some development in the three final cases of land conflicts. What these changes consist of, you can see in my power point to today's lecture linked above. Below, however, I link to the 2020 power point as it appears in the movies. I recommend taking a look at this year's power point above to follow up on developments in the three cases.

In conclusion, I would like to point out that I believe I am significantly better live in the hall than recorded on video, so I hope to see you in the classroom. :-)
