Oxford University Society Nordic


We are nearly 400 Oxford-related people living in the Nordic region.

Our aims are to bring together Oxford-related people, to learn, to have fun, and to help introduce our fine university to prospective students & others interested.

Join us in expanding our circles.

Membership is still free. Activities may have a participant's fee (essentially self-funded). Oxford University Society Nordic has not yet built a financial endowment. Donations very welcome!

We help publicize Oxford Society branches activities (and the networking efforts of individual alumni) to attract from the wider pool of Oxford-related people throughout the region.

Oxford University Society Nordic:
Chairperson, Dr. Christopher Lagerqvist

Christopher Lagerqvist was born and raised in the city of Jönköping. He enrolled at Uppsala University where he studied history, economic history, political science, economics, pedagogics and philosophy. In 2002-03, as a part of his D.Dhil. (Ph.D.) education, he was engaged in post-graduate research in History at the University of Oxford.

In early months of 2008, his doctoral thesis in Economic History was published and thereafter he started post-doctoral work in Oxford as a guest researcher at the Faculty of History and was also elected member of the Senior Common Room (SCR) at Worcester College. Among several articles on higher education, he has written on academic freedom in Britain & Sweden, and the value-added of the Oxford tutorial system.

At present, he works in the Swedish Parliament and at Uppsala University, as the director of the Oxford-Uppsala Programme, a scheme for cooperation in research and teaching between the two universities which he initiated in 2003. He is currently researching modern nationalism in Britain and Sweden (1950-2000), especially the formation of citizenship in the era of global transition from social democracy to market liberalism.
