Norwegian Language
Bio/CV:
John Prusynski teaches four semesters of Norwegian language, a course on pan-Scandinavian reading strategies, and occasional courses on contemporary Nordic literature. He received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he wrote a dissertation about travel and movement in Sámi literature, looking at works from the late 1800s to the present. His current research focuses on works by contemporary Sámi authors such as Jalvvi Niillas Holmberg, Inger-Mari Aikio, and Moa Backe Åstot, and he is interested in how ideas surrounding identity, the international, queerness, and place show up in these authors’ works.
