Access Project

The project examines central ideas of boundaries as they are negotiated and interpreted among Jews living in Finland today, compares the emerging patterns with Nordic counterparts and renews the international research front by challenging perceptions that currently guide research on minority ethnic and religious identities. It ties on to recent developments within the research on vernacular religion and on identity and change in Jewish communities worldwide, creating previously unexplored possibilities for Nordic comparison.
