The Nordic Iron Age: Life Before the Vikings

We invite you to participate in the 26th Nordic Symposium, during which scholars and performers from across the world will provide an educational and entertaining experience.

The Nordic Iron Age, nestled between the Bronze Age and the Viking Age, saw great changes and developments in society, technology, agriculture, settlement and more. Seacraft revolutionized travel, trade and cultural exchange. Iron technology revolutionized both tools (e.g., the plow) and weapons. Very practical boats and ships, essential to the Viking Age, were developed in the later part of the Iron Age. The program will include illustrated lectures, music and a live performance of Beowulf.

For a complete schedule and registration information, visit the Scandinavian American Cultural and Historical Foundation website. Sessions are free to Cal Lutheran faculty, staff and students.
