The international History of Finnish Migration Network (HoFM) connects researchers working on topics related to the history of Finnish migration. The Network is open to everyone, including academic, community-based, and independent historians/researchers, interested in topics related to historical Finnish migrations and/or Finnish communities anywhere in the world.
The aim of the Network is to foster new collaborations and conversations that will allow us to develop this exciting field in new and critical ways. The Network provides a way to share our projects, publications, events, findings, and questions. Interdisciplinary methods and approaches are warmly welcome, as are diverse interpretations of “Finnish” and “Finnishness.” The Network further hopes to promote dialogue on Finnish migrations in the context of colonialism(s) and to expand the ways historical migrations and migrant communities are framed and understood.
The Network officially launched in August 2020 at the initiative of Samira Saramo, who currently serves as the Network’s Chair and Coordinator.
