Patrik Larsson, professor of Working Life Science and dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Karlstad University, was a researcher at CTF for many years. He was also the director of CTF during 2006 – 2012. Here, he shares some memories and reflections.
Looking back at how I first became a part of CTF, I would say it was a bit of a coincidence, at least the timing and circumstances. My goal was to become a HR director in a private company.
You spent September at the University of Oxford, please tell us more about that.

Although the statistical chances of meeting a serial killer in real life are infinitesimally small, they seem to be absolutely everywhere in the media, from true crime to news journalism and all manner of fictional narratives.
The symposium Here, There, Everywhere: The Figure of the Serial Killer addresses this curious ubiquity, asking questions such as: Why is the figure of the serial killer so fascinating to so many people?
