Ryan has been selected for a short-term American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) Fellowship for Americans in the Nordic Countries. He will be a visiting researcher in Finland at the University of Oulu's unit for Saami studies, the Giellagas Institute. During his time in Finland, he plans to collaborate with the Saami Culture Archive hosted by the Institute, attend North Saami language classes, record with North Saami speakers for his dissertation research, and visit Aanaar (Inari), the capital of Saami culture in Finland.
The ASF promotes firsthand exchange of intellectual and creative influence between the United States and the Nordic countries. Each year, the ASF awards some 60 individuals for research, study or creative projects abroad.
