Article Iceland, Greenland and Lapland - Scandinavian Afterthoughts K. J. Anderson When addressing Scandinavia it seems, more often than not, as though Iceland, Greenland, and Lapland are simply forgotten in the broad scheme of things. In this essay I will address how similar these three regions are, not only to each other, but also to the other so called Scandinavian entities - those being Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland - and discuss whether or not the three in doubt should be included in the generalised grouping under the said title 'Scandinavia'.. In answering this question we have to first ask ourselves what, whether it be in regards to the region or its people, constitutes a Scandinavian nation. Is it a cultural phenomenon? Historic? Does being Scandinavian mean that you have to prescribe to certain beliefs and laws? Would it be fair to say that a nation, or region, can only belong to the geographical position that it lies in? Despite all of this rhetoric, however, for the purpose of this essay, I shall concentrate on the social, historical, and political links that I feel tie all seven in question together and make them undeniably Scandinavian.

AUTHORS ON THE WEB A Collection of Biographical Sketches This page is an attempt to bring together literary author biographies available on the World Wide Web. The biographies vary in quality, timeliness, length, and authority. If you don't find a biography here and know of one, please send it along. If there is no biography available, write one and send it along. It will take time for this page to become one of substance. And, in keeping with the beauty of the medium, it will continually grow and change. Credit for this page must go to Dr. Gretchen Whitney at The University of Tennessee where I was a graduate student in the School of Information Science . Dr. Whitney's "dead German" assignment gave me inspiration for this page. She also taught me HTML. She may have created a monster. Last revised: August 17, 2002. As a new dimension to this page, I am attempting to locate biographies on Nobel Prize winners in Literature. Those I include will include a notation, (Nobel, year).

Ms. Guðdrún Agnarsdóttir Dr. Agnarsdóttir is a medical doctor and has as a specialist been engaged in research in the virology and immunology of Visna-maedi at The Institute for Experimental Pathology University of Iceland, Keldur from 1981. She has served as a Director, from 1992, of The Icelandic Cancer Society Consultant and co-ordinator of The Rape Trauma Service. Dr. Agnarsdóttir is a member of the steering committee of a Nordic research network on violence against women, has since 1999 been a member of the External Advisory Group, EAG, in Key Action Control of Infection within the 5th Framework programme of the European Union. She served as a chairperson of an expert committee for the protection of women and young girls against violence EG-S-FV at the Council of Europe from 1998-2000. Human rights - a modern day slavery An Address by Guðrún Agnarsdóttir to the Conference of the European Cities Against Drugs Reykjavik, Iceland April 25, 2002 "My friend, why do you bring me into this terrible house?", Snaefridur Islandssol, the young daughter of the supreme judge of Iceland asked her friend Arni Magnusson, a 17th century passionate book collector, who had brought her on a visit to a very poor farm looking for an important manuscript. This is a quote from "The bell of Iceland", a famous novel written by Halldor Kiljan Laxness, our Nobel prize author whose centenary is currently being celebrated. The quote illustrates the heroine´s horror at being confronted with the squalid conditions of poor people sharing the same society, a reality that had escaped her or she had been sheltered from.

Class Philosophy This course is based on the premise that active learning is preferable to passive learning. It is also based on the premise that students need to contribute to a course if that course is to be successful. As a result of these premises, you can expect very little in the way of lectures; you can, however, expect a lot of discussion and hands-on activities. Obviously, this course will place a lot of responsibility on you and your fellow classmates. You can expect me as an instructor to carefully select readings and to design appropriate activities to illustrate the issues raised by those readings. For your part, however, you will need to attend regularly, prepare thoughtfully, and shoulder your share of classroom discussions and activities. In this classin all your classes your progress and that of your classmates depends on your willingness to attend, prepare, and participate.
