Scandinavian immigration to Australia and New Zealand

Abstrakti

Migration research is by nature an international and interdisciplinary field, requiring co-operation and co-ordination, especially when long distances and a large geographical area are to be covered. An example of this is a Scandinavian-Australian research project which started a few years ago in co-operation between the Institute of Migration in Turku, Finland, and the House of Emigrants, Växjö, Sweden. The aim of the project is to promote research into Scandinavian immigration in Australia and New Zealand. The project's second symposium was held in Turku on February 17-19, 1982, attended by both Nordic and Australian scholars.
