Open lecture
We’d be delighted if you would join us for a public lecture ‘Nubian Legacies. Widening perspectives on the Scandinavian Joint Expedition (SJE) in the 21st century’ delivered by Dr David Edwards (University of Leicester).
The lecture kick-starts the first of three workshops to be held in
Uppsala, Stavanger and Copenhagen (the latter two in 2020) that will focus on the vast research potential of the legacy data from the Scandinavian Joint Expedition (SJE) survey in the Sudanese Nubia Nile Valley in the 1960s that are currently held in museums across Scandinavia, and the scientific contributions of the original participants.
Dr Edwards lecture will look at potential of revisiting archival material, integrating and synthesising data sets and with the technologies of today exploring them in ways unimagined in the 1960s.
The workshops are funded by the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils in Humanities & Social Sciences (NOS-HS), and link the universities of Uppsala, Oslo and Copenhagen.
Date: Monday 13 May 2019, 17.00 (Sharp)
Followed by a reception 18.30 – 19.30
Venue: Geijersalen 6-1023, Engelska parken
We hope that you will join us for the lecture and reception afterwards were the discussions will continue.
Feel free to forward to anyone you think might be interested.
With very best wishes,
