Welcome to my official web site
Given that Camilla Collett’s picture decorated the Norwegian 100 kroner bill from 1977 to 1994, it is fitting that the Norwegian Treasury (Finansdepartementet) wants to celebrate her birthday. I will be going to give a lunchtime talk about Camilla Collett for interested staff there on January 24th.
On 23 January it is 200 years since Camilla Collett was born. We celebrate her anniversary with a conference at the National Library in Oslo. The conference is fully booked, but the National Library will live-stream the event at www.nb.no.
On Monday 21st January, my little booklet called SprÃ¥k og oppmerksomhet [Language and Attention] will be published by Aschehoug Publishers in Oslo. The booklet is part of a series called Stemmer [Voices], consisting of 12 booklets written by women, to mark the centenary of Norwegian women’s right to vote. The series will be launch at the publishers at 19:00.
