Contemporary global queer politics is haunted by colonial legacies. In the 19th century, European imperialists viewed the imposition of heteronormative ideals, through e.g. colonial sodomy bans, as a way to modernize “savages” and root out pre- colonial forms of gender dissent and same-sex desire in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

No matter what your religion is – or if it is none at all – you are welcome to the University Chaplaincy. You can talk with us about existential questions like identity, relation, meaning, faith, studies or something else you fancy talking about.
Our physical environment – the way it looks and functions both inside and outside – matters a lot for the university to attract students and employees.
The document Campusplan 2040 points out the long-term direction for the university’s physical environment. The plan has been created as a collaboration project between the university and Akademiska hus.

I would like to start by saying thank you for the warm welcome I have received during my first weeks at Karlstad University. I have already met several of you and I look forward to more meetings in the day-to-day operations.
I enjoy meetings, both planned and spontaneous. It might come as a surprise that someone from management would utter such a thing, given the number of meetings I have attended over the years and the likelihood of a very busy schedule ahead.
