COVID-19 and the Enforced Digitalization of Academic Life
November 5
14.00-17.00 local time (Sweden)
(1pm-4pm GMT)
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected people around the world and brought with it many challenges, beyond the obvious tragedy of lives lost and health issues. Closure has been an evident consequence; borders, societies, schools, universities.
Doctoral programme in Business Administration at Karlstad University.
At the Karlstad Business School, research in Business Administration is pursued both in multidisciplinary and disciplinary groups. The groups may involve researchers from Karlstad University and from other universities, in Sweden and abroad. Business Administration is a problem-oriented subject with different theoretical frameworks for different sub-disciplines.
Critical studies on age and ageing focus on social dimensions of age and ageing in everyday life and in society. The research group is multidisciplinary with a mutual interest in critical and social science perspectives on age and ageing.
Instead of taking age for granted, the research group’s critical perspective focuses on age as an important basis for the distribution of opportunities, rights, and obligations in society.

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.

I allt från modevärldens nostalgitrender till politiska retrotopier vänds blicken numera mot historien snarare än mot framtiden. När det inte längre är möjligt att ens skönja en ljusnande framtid bortom klimathot och pandemier blir istället det förflutna något eftersträvansvärt. Historien blir något att återvända till och rentav återskapa efter eget skön.
