Geomedia Speaker Series presents a digital seminar
Spatial Justice and Data Justice
February 24
13.00-15.00 local time (Sweden) - (1-3 pm CET)
This seminar explores the ways in which digital technologies and datafication shape and produce new forms of inequalities globally and locally. While much of the research literature discusses datafication in the context of the industrial West, in recent years, more and more focus has been paid to Global South.
All over the world, digital tools are increasingly being used to improve and streamline healthcare services. This does not only lead to positive results, but also creates opportunities for new types of threats regarding information security and privacy.
Information security and protection of privacy are some of the most important factors in the development of high-quality tools in the healthcare sector.

We propose a back-to-back panel, from the Global Gender Matters (GGM) Network, based at the Department of Gender Studies, Lund University. We are an interdisciplinary group of scholars, who work on multiple scopes and scales of empirical and theoretical frameworks on local and global issues through a gendered and feminist lens.
The second Mathematics Meets Industry day (MIMM®) was held at Karlstad University on 12 December. Together with representatives from Rolls-Royce, Sogeti and Uddeholm, upper-secondary students, university students, researchers and teachers tried to find mathematical solutions to problems that are yet to be solved.
“We want to showcase Värmland as a basis for attractive employers that use mathematics in advanced modern technology.
Within the framework of the ongoing work on Karlstad Business Schools AACSB accreditation, colleagues gathered to share and learn from experiences from effective teaching, student learning and meaningful examinations.

Johan Renault, master program student in marketing, how was your green journey to Schwäbisch Hall in Germany?
- The journey went extremely well. It was fun to drive down all together, and we got to know each other along the way since we did not know each other before, so it was really fun. We stopped a few times along the way, but it actually didn’t feel that long when driving down all together, and we didn’t get bored.

The world needs more efficient energy systems based on renewable raw material, an equation not easily solved. At Karlstad University, research and education are in progress to find sustainable energy systems, for instance, through a project in which pellets replace charcoal in cooking solutions in Zambia, because cooking with charcoal as fuel leads to extensive deforestation as well as health hazards.
