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.
The risk and safety walks are organised by the Centre for Societal Risk Research and consist of a walk-and-talk seminar, where participants get the chance to deepen their knowledge and exchange experiences.
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.
A great deal of exciting research is being done at Karlstad University, and we would like to tell you about it. If you are 8-12 years old, you can find out about cool research at the university.
It is the 12th year in a row that we arrange Children’s University, where you get to meet researchers who give inspiring presentations on specific topic areas. Six new sessions have been scheduled for Mondays this autumn.

This is especially important progress in the Nordic context for furthering a decolonial research agenda.
