This project investigates the representation of animals, violence against animals, and meat eating in various media, from literature to film, computer games, and metal music.
Why are people more upset by the killing of one animal on film, than the billions killed every year in industrial agriculture? How can the violent imagery of extreme metal be used to argue for veganism?
Research at Public health science consists of several strong research groups tightly tied to the community. Research topics include psychosocial health of vulnerable groups children. Environmental exposure and child development is studied in the SELMA-study.
Public Health Science at Karlstad University involve renowned and experienced researchers that produce quality research in their respective fields. Several large studies are currently being undertaken.
Linda Bergkvist and Charlotte Bäccman at CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University, have studied clients, healthcare personnel, IT personnel and healthcare managers in Swedish and Norwegian municipalities in order to create a better understanding of challenges in implementing digital assistive technology.
The study is published in the anthology "Management and Information Technology after Digital Transformation" and shows a complexity where different actors hav

Swedish municipal adult education, MAE, is facing severe challenges. Research on school leadership and school improvement within Swedish municipal adult education is, however, scarce. There is consequently a call for such research. This research project meets this call. The project started in 2019 and has been developed in collaboration between the researcher and two practising teachers within local MAE.

Johan Tielman was born and raised in Linköping and grew up in a family with a keen interest in sports. His father was self-employed and his mother worked as a teacher. His lifelong interest in nature was sparked by visits to his grandparents in the Santa Anna archipelago.
A longing to understand and learn more about aquatic life determined his academic direction.
The two biggest challenges in mastering transport through heterogeneously active materials are computational intractability, and presence of uncertainty: most microstructures are either active (freely evolving), or have incomplete input data making exact computations impossible.
Recently, there has been a significant progress in the understanding of intractability, based on mathematical theory of homogenization and efficient multiscale numerical methods.
Where do you start with innovation? Typically, with a goal in sight – a pre-defined outcome. From here you can forecast what you need to get there; search for, select and invest in the most suitable skills, technology, and other types of resources in a step-by-step manner. This is a conventional causal decision-making style for firms. Conversely you can start with what you already have – existing means – and then creatively work out potential outcomes with these. This is bricolage.

Processes and Products for a circular BioEconomy
Pro2BE is the research environment at Karlstad University that focuses on the transformation of the present economic/technical culture which is based on consumption of non-renewable resources to a bioeconomy based on circularity of environment-friendly renewable resources and on the development of the forest-industry.
Kauresearch is the name of the university’s Instagram account where we share research information, news and glimpses of everyday life as a researcher - often with a fun twist. During the Nobel Week, 4-10 December, the university will draw on the special attention paid to science through a themed week, Kau Science Week.
The themed week will mainly appear on Kauresearch, but also on other platforms, such as Facebook and LinkedIn.

A grading decision cannot be appealed to a higher authority. However, a decision can be reassessed or corrected by the university, which means that the examiner reviews the grading of your assignment.
If you as a student feel that an examination has not been assessed correctly, you can request to have the awarded grade reassessed or corrected, depending on the case.
Welcome to Gender Studies at Karlstad University!
Gender Studies is more than just a subject; it's an eye-opener. It changes your perspective on the world. Before delving into Gender Studies, you might not have thought much about how our relationship with sexuality, gender, and identity has shaped history, influences the present, and will shape the future. After immersing yourself in this field, you'll come to realize that these questions permeate all aspects of life.
Music Ecosystems Inner Scandinavia (EU/Interreg Sweden-Norway, 2018-21) is a cross-disciplinary, collaborative research project that wants to understand how digital technology, in relation to other societal trends and social structures, configures music usage and experiences. How do different user groups, with varying social demographic backgrounds, navigate in the new digital musical landscape? To what extent do different user groups “master” trans- and geomedial music experiences?
