Anna Fyrberg Yngfalk är lektor och forskare vid Handelshögskolan Karlstads universitet och vid Centrum för Tjänsteforskning (CTF).
I sin forskning studerar Anna hur marknadsföringsdiskurser formar individer och organisationer men också vad effekterna är av det marknadssamhälle som vi lever i termer av makt och maktstrukturer.
We caught up with Professor Thorsten Gruber, Loughborough University, UK, who is visiting us this week.

The objective of this research project is to analyse counter-urban migration as a relocation strategy in order to improve the social sustainability of everyday life (i.e. better work-life-balance and quality of life) among families with young children in Sweden.
Previous research in Sweden on counter-urban migration consists mainly of register based studies failing to address the complexity of factors in everyday life.

The additive manufacturing laboratory (AT-LAB) at Karlstad University is equipped with a laser beam powder bed fusion Renishaw AM400 3D printer, but research interests are extended to other methods like electron beam powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, wire ark additive manufacturing, and others. Research in AM includes the development of process parameters, investigation of microstructure and properties, surface and tribological characterization, and machinability properties.
Researchers Avit Bhowmik and Sol Agin comment on the latest report from The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
For the very first time, IPCC explicitly recognized and emphasized the role of diverse non-state and subnational actors in climate action.

The graduate school offers doctoral positions in various subjects and is held together by joint courses and seminars and focuses on practice based research. It aims to develop knowledge of how different content in specific school subjects is transformed in teaching. The Graduate School is a collaboration between Karlstad University, Halmstad University and University West.
The Centre for Research on Sustainable Societal Transformation (CRS) will have a new director as of 1 April. Moa Tunström, senior lecturer in Human Geography, will take over when Margareta Dahlström steps down ahead of her upcoming retirement.
