The Hong Kierkegaard Library hosted its first International Kierkegaard Conference in 1985. Since then, the Library has welcomed the international community of scholars devoted to the study of S\u00f8ren Kierkegaard to Northfield, Minnesota roughly every four years. Typically held in the summer, the multi-day conference brings together researchers, students, and readers for lectures, panels, workshops, banquets, and other scholarly and social events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
