Professor Christine Ingebritsen

The Edmonds Sons of Norway District 2 Lodge 130 is excited to announce their guest speaker for February. 

Professor Christine Ingebritsen, Director of the Center for West European Studies and Chair of Hellenic Studies Program at the University of Washington will discuss contemporary political and social developments in Norway, as well as ways we are connecting the universities in Norway to our Seattle community. 

Wednesday, February 11, 2015, 7:00pm

Edmonds Masonic Center (Downstairs)

515 Dayton Street, Edmonds

The Public is invited.  There is no charge to attend, but any and all donations will be gratefully accepted. 

Professor Christine Ingebritsen is a political scientist who teaches and conducts research on the position of small states in international relations. Her work seeks to explain how and why Scandinavian governments (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland) have responded differently to contemporary challenges — from a more globalized international political economy to an integrated Europe.

Collectively, Scandinavia seeks to export best practices to international institutions and acts as a "norm entrepreneur" in several important issue-areas (the environment, human rights and security). 

Dr. Ingebritsen is also an Adjunct Professor of Women's Studies and Adjunct Professor of Political Science. She received her Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1993.
