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.
Research projects are conducted in collaboration with various subjects and research groups at Karlstad University and other institutions, at national or international levels.

Our risk and safety walks are great examples of how we work to develop different forms of participation and place-based learning. The aim is to spread knowledge and encourage discussions about societal risks and preventive measures.

On November 6-8 researchers from Karlstad University presented several papers connected to 5G and future network architecture. The rapid digitization we are experiencing right now demands extreme capacity from communication networks and to meet these demands new and more automated and flexible network architectures are needed.
Expanding and implementing new functions and services for current networks is often expensive and demands a lot of resources.

Current initiatives in intersectionality theory relating to indigenous studies (Olsen 2018) as well as ethnic studies (Carlsson 2020) argue that the starting point for such intersectional approaches are ‘the margins rather than the centre’ (Olsen 2018).
