"Estonia's Nordic Identity: History and the Present," a lecture by Mart Kuldkepp

Mart Kuldkepp, professor of Estonian and Nordic History at University College London, is a visiting professor at Yale University. In this presentation, Kuldkepp will draw from his recent book 'Nordic Estonia: The Birth of a Nation State' to highlight the continuous efforts of early Estonian nationalists to position the country within the Nordic cultural sphere, with the leaders of the interwar-era independent Estonian state consistently seeking alignment with Sweden and other Nordic nations.
