December Filmprat: Christmas as Usual (Online)

This is an online class hosted on Zoom. 

Dr. Maren Johnson, Luther College’s Associate Professor of Nordic Studies and Torgerson Center for Nordic Studies Director, facilitates a regular bokprat (book group), discussing Scandinavian authors and Scandinavian life.

December’s discussion is a twist on the usual format and features the film Christmas as Usual available on Netflix.

Thea is going to her rural hometown to celebrate a classic Norwegian Christmas with her family, but this year she’s bringing along Jashan, her Indian boyfriend, which will put everyone’s preconceived beliefs and traditions on their heads.
