Transatlantic Dreamin': How Sweden and the United States Have Seen and Influenced Each Other Over the Years

Please join us for a special discussion with a professor from Uppsala University as he discusses the relationships between the countries and the fluctuations in Swedish emigration to the United States. According to the US Dept of State, "Relations between teh United States and Sweden are built on a shared heritage that dates back to 1638 when the first Swedish immigrants arrived on the shores of Delaware." With such a long-standing history, our speaker will discuss the current landscape and thoughts on the future.
