DESCRIPTION:When it comes to religious contact and transfer\, early modern
  Scandinavia has not been considered to be the first address for examinati
 on. One reason for this may be that at first sight\, from this era onwards
  this region seems to be dominated only by one stout and monolithic state 
 religion\, i.e. Lutheranism. But giving the geographical frame a second th
 ought\, however\, one may discern many regions and situations of religious
  contact within or at the shores and borders of the Scandinavian peninsula
 \, such as the interreligious encounter between the different forms of Chr
 istianity and the indigenous Sámi religion in the very North. Only rarely
  discussed are intra-religious encounters between Protestant and Orthodox 
 Christianity in the eastern parts of the Scandinavian pensinsula or at the
  shores of the Baltic coast lines. Furthermore\, due to colonial and imper
 ial ambitions of the two Scandinavian realms\, Denmark-Norway and Sweden-F
 inland\, there are even first contacts to regions such as India\, Africa\,
  Central Asia\, and not to forget the Arctic Greenland.\n\nThis workshop a
 ims at re-evaluating early modern Scandinavia as a prime place for the stu
 dy of religious contact and transfer\, including case-studies covering reg
 ions from Greenland to Siberia and India during the time period between 15
 00 and 1750.\n\nWorkshop programme
