IASPM Norden is excited to launch the Nordic Pop Forum, a new research seminar series dedicated to showcasing recent work in popular music studies across the Nordic countries. Each session will feature a presentation, followed by an open conversation.
The first Nordic Pop Forum will take place on February 25th at 4pm CET, where Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen, adjunct lecturer at the University of Iceland, will present his new book, Icelandic Pop. Then, Today, Tomorrow, Next Week (2025). This session will be chaired by John David Vandevert, PhD student in musicology at Uppsala University.
Our aim with the Nordic Pop Forum is to foster a space of open and engaging conversation, and to build an ongoing scholarly dialogue that brings together researchers and perspectives from across the Nordic popular music community.
We encourage anyone interested in presenting their work or suggesting a colleague whose work has inspired you to get in touch.
The session will be hosted on Zoom, you can sign-up with the following link: https://aarhusuniversity.zoom.us/j/62992071975
