Opportunities for Ethnology in Finnish Migration Research

Two Pilot Projects

Abstrakti

Migration study is, by its very nature, a subject which cuts across traditional academic divisions and offers opportunities to researchers of many different disciplines. Surely historians have risen to the challenge and have produced an impressive body of research. Perhaps this is inevitable; except for recent migrations, an historical perspective is the most basic. Still, I believe that, although valuable beginnings have been made in several fields, a considerable opportunity exists for other disciplines to contribute to our knowledge of Finnish migration.
