Migration History Study
In collaboration with the Stavanger University College, Dept. for Humanities, a new course in migration history studies was launched in January 1999. It is an intermediate history course specializing in European migration history. Odd S. Lovoll, now retired King Olav V Professor of Scandinavian - American Studies at St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota, played a major role in accomplishing this study, which is the only of its kind in Norway. The course is supported by the County of Rogaland, the City of Stavanger and the municipalities of Tysvær and Karmøy. So far, more than 45 students have attended the course with good results. A new course started January 25. For more information about the study, please contact college lecturer Olav Tysdal at olav.tysdal@hum.his.no or Hans Storhaug at detnu-hs@online.no
