On 15 October, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Karlstad University invites staff, students, and members of the public to attend this year’s open associate professor lectures. Everyone is warmly welcome.
Throughout the day, newly appointed associate professors will present their research on topics including responsible digitalisation, reading promotion in primary education, fall risk management, new methods for increasing physical activity among inactive children, and much more. The lectures are designed for a general audience and are open to all. No registration is required.
“Associate professors appointed during autumn 2025 and spring 2026 are invited to present their research,” says Annika Rudman, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The event is an important tradition through which the faculty recognises its newly appointed associate professors while also showcasing the diverse research conducted within the faculty through accessible presentations for a wider audience.”
All lectures will take place on 15 October, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Frödingsalen (Room 1B364) at Karlstad University.
