In my doctoral dissertation (Intertwining science and politics: Foreign scholars of Finland and their Finnish collaborators, ca. 1870-1920), I examine five foreign researchers, who studied Finns and their culture in the late nineteenth century, and their cooperation with Finnish scientific community. I am interested in the transnational environment where these men interacted in and what part national sympathies had in their actions. Also, by examining their research on Finns, I try to find relevant aspects that give light to the wider scientific contexts of late-nineteenth-century Europe.
