Have you registered for the Holberg Week yet? The following events with this year's Holberg Prize Laureate, Lyndal Roper, should be of interest to our followers:
The 2026 Holberg Symposium: ‘Where is History Moving? New Directions in Writing the Past’

Perhaps the greatest change in the historical profession since the Second World War is the arrival of large numbers of women, and this has changed how history is written and what subjects it tackles. The last thirty years have seen the rise of global history, Black history, history of the environment, sexualities and so much more. AI also brings new possibilities, methods and challenges. What questions must historians address today?
The Holberg Masterclass: ‘Bodies, Gender, Psyche, Movement’
https://www.facebook.com/events/1001552792195908
How do we include physical experience, real bodies, in our understanding of human life? Where do phenomena like dreams fit in? What does gender mean today?
The Holberg Lecture: ‘Who owns Fertility? The Reformation’s Sexual Politics’
https://www.facebook.com/events/992789763322698
How is fertility a force in history? What happens when people try to regulate who can have children, or who owns them? And when and why do religious movements seek to control sexuality?
