Author - Emil Åkerö

Emil Åkerö is a cultural scientist and has extensive experience of working educationally in museums with cultural heritage issues. Emil is also a writer and lecturer who works with the intersection between organization, digitization and cultural heritage issues. Previously, Emil wrote the novel Veckopojkvännen (Tallbergs Publishers, 2018). For OLIKA, Emil has written the Holiday Book together with Karin Salmson and Johanna Ivarsson.

"I am passionate about spreading knowledge about cultural heritage and how our view of it is affected by different norms. My approach to the book is to show the background to the holidays and why they are celebrated. In this way, we can create an understanding of our common culture and find ways to work forward."
