@mrundkvist It depends on the university, I think - in Denmark, Copenhagen is a lot more nepotistic than e.g. Aarhus University.My linguistics department had an Australian professor, two Dutch lecturers, and a Danish lecturer who was from the department. Later on a couple of Americans were added.Our classes were also a lot more outwards-facing, with plenty of international theories we worked with. Whenever I meet a linguist from CPH they worked with "in-house" theories for e.g. phonetics, pragmatics, syntactic theory, etc. I've always been a little confused as to how they collaborated with people from other universities when they used their own weird version of the international phonetic alphabet modified to look more like Danish orthography but then of course being useless for people trained in classical IPA.
