Within the framework of the Bernadotte Programme, the Royal Gustavus Adolphus Academy for Swedish Folk Culture invites applications for a maximum of two scholarships. These are intended for postdoctoral researchers working within the fields the Academy represents; Swedish folk culture in this context is to be taken in a broad sense. Each award is for SEK 125,000. In addition, there is a grant for travel, conferences, or fieldwork of SEK 25,000. The Academy aims to establish a long-term relationship with the scholarship holders, who will, among other things, be given the opportunity to apply for additional funding, for instance, to organize symposiums. The call is aimed at: 1. Postdoctoral researchers from outside Sweden who wish to spend a minimum of four to six months at a Swedish university or a research-oriented archive, museum or library in Sweden, and 2) Postdoctoral researchers from Sweden who wish to spend a minimum of four to six months at a foreign university or research-oriented archive, museum or library. Applications are to be sent by email and must arrive no later than December 1, 2023.

Innsamling: Minner om å feire bursdag

Insamling

Hurra for deg! Om å feire bursdag

Hvordan ble den forrige bursdagen din markert? 

Hvordan har bursdagene endret seg gjennom livet? 

Hva syns du egentlig om det å feire bursdag? 

Hjelp oss med å forstå bursdagsfeiringens historie! Å markere fødselsdagen er en forholdsvis moderne skikk, som er blitt veldig vanlig. Vi tror det kan ha skjedd mange endringer i denne skikken i de senere årene. Nå trenger Norsk Folkemuseum din hjelp til å finne ut mer om hvordan folk feirer bursdag.

Innsamlingen skjer samtidig i Norge, Sverige, Latvia og Finland – for å gi kulturforskerne noe å bryne seg på.
