Law and Culture in the Pre-Modern North

All members share an interest in the development of legal and cultural practices associated with the historical processes that took form in Northern Europe (comprising mainland Scandinavia as well as the islands in the North Atlantic), encompassing but not limited to: political, administrative, cultural, and economic phenomena, production and dissemination of legal codes, and the interrelation between norm-production and state-formation processes. The group approaches these topics from a philological, historical, legal, and political perspectives, and aims to develop a more nuanced image of the interrelation of cultural and legal developments in pre-modern times.
