There is a renewed interest of co-operation to write the shared histories of the Nordic countries but also of the Nordic region as a whole. The shared history of the labour history institutes is one reason for the long-standing tradition of collaboration between labour historians and activists in the Nordic countries.<\/p>\n
The Nordic Labour History Network’s aim is to strengthen cross-Nordic research collaboration within the field of labour and social history. It also wants to encourage an expansion of what can be understood as part of the history of labour, workers and labour\u2019s movements; in time and space.<\/p>\n
During this roundtable representatives from the different Nordic countries take stock of the current state of Nordic labour history and discuss what future labour historians need to do.<\/p>\n
