"The deracialization of Sweden", is a recently published research anthology focusing on issues of race, racism, anti-racism and whiteness in a Swedish post-war and contemporary context.

Richard Ek, professor in human geography at Karlstad University, tell us about the Indigeneity and Visual Sovereignty conference held in Cape Town 27–28 April 2023
- The conference theme was “visual sovereignty”, which includes ways for indigenous communities around the world to have ownership and control of for instance materials and photo archives that depict their history, culture, language, and identity.
Practical placement
Through the practical placement included in different courses in Civics, contacts are established with the schools which receive our students. In courses which include longer periods of practical placement, the cooperation with schools is enhanced through the visits and other personal contacts that are employed to follow and support the students’ development.
Session 7A: Livslångt lärande
Presentation (svenska)
Carolina Camén, Patrik Gottfridsson och Jenny Karlsson (Karlstads universitet)
Under många år har frågan om att kunna erbjuda livslångt lärande varit en viktig del för högskolor och universitet . Denna fråga är idag mer aktuellt än någonsin med tanke på den omvandling som idag sker inom olika yrkesområden. Samtidigt som behoven ökat så har också konkurrensen ökat från olika andra aktörer.
