Program Overview
Wednesday, August 27, 2025
Social Excursion to Sprogø (Limited to 40 participants) We begin our conference with a guided tour of Sprogø, known for its historical women’s institution that operated from 1923 to 1961. The island housed women deemed ‘morally deviant’ by society, many of whom were institutionalized against their will. This visit will provide insight into past social care practices and ethical dilemmas while offering a chance to reflect on historical approaches to marginalized groups. A unique opportunity to network in an informal setting while exploring an important piece of Danish history.
