    Peoplehood 

    Peoplehood - what a word! Through tumultous times with wars on land borders, disputes on languages spoken, and relations with foreign nation states, peoplehood is shaped, molded and at times reconfigured. Host Andrew Davidson takes a deep dive along with modern historian Ove Korsgaard to pinpoint some of the most important events that have shaped the notion of Danish and to some extent Nordic peoplehood.
