Research
Interculturality research at Karlstad university revolves around normative and culturally constructed ideas about social and societal belonging in Sweden and globally. Racism as an ideology and everyday practice constitutes an important part of this focus, as do visual forms of communication and discourses on cultural values in contemporary processes of conflict and reconciliation.
Researchers at the department are members of Kufo, the Research Group for Cultural Studies at Karlstad university. Within this network, they engage with inter-disciplinary exchanges in studies, project development and seminars.
