Social media platforms have been characterised in two main ways, first by their programmability (Bogost and Montfort 2010), that is the capacity to build software or analytics on top of their data and functionalities.
The Magna Charta Universitatum is an international charter on the academic freedom and institutional autonomy of universities. Karlstad University has now signed the new, updated version.
– Signing the charter shows that Karlstad University supports the key principles of, among other things, academic freedom, autonomy and equality. We value the importance of freedom in research and education, and international mobility.
The academic insignia hail from the Middle Ages, and include the doctor’s hat, doctor’s ring, and earlier also a book of privileges, which had disappeared from the ceremonies and had been replaced by the diploma. The handshake has symbolic value; it means ‘be greeted’, and the promotor also says these words during the act. The insignia are proof that a doctoral degree has been conferred.
