Byron Nordstrom
Professor
History and Scandinavian Studies
Byron Nordstrom
joined the faculty in 1974. He teaches the European history survey as
well as courses on the history of Scandinavia, European war and
diplomacy, and 20th century Europe. He received his BA from Lawrence
University in 1965, and an MA and PhD from the University of Minnesota
in 1968 and 1971 respectively.
Nordstrom is the editor of The Swedes in Minnesota (1976), compiler and editor of The Dictionary of Scandinavian History (1986) and author of Scandinavia Since 1500 (2000) and The History of Sweden (2002).
He has contributed chapters in books and written articles on various
aspects of Swedish-American life in Chicago and Minneapolis, and
authored numerous reference work entries on Scandinavian history.
Currently, he is editor of The Swedish-American Historical Quarterly.
Nordstrom's research focuses on neighborhood development and the role
of organizations in creating and maintaining identities in Swedish
America and on Scandinavia in the 1920s and 1930s. The latter is the
subject of his current book project.
