Jessica Comte, what did you study at Karlstad Business School?
- The Bachelor’s programme in IT, Project Management and ERP Systems from 2018 to 2020, and the Master’s programme in Information Systems from 2020 to 2022.

Syftet med denna panel är att ur ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv utforska skönlitteratur som källa till kunskap om queera liv. Skönlitteraturen har haft en stor betydelse både för queer aktivism och forskning. Den har stått i centrum för queer och trans teoriutveckling i Sverige (t.ex. Björklund & Lönngren 2020, Holmqvist 2017, Kivilaakso, Lönngren och Paqvalén 2012, Rosenberg 2002).

The concept of quiet quitting has become a hot topic of conversation in the workplace. According to a new study, it is not just about lazy employees or a demanding younger generation. Alexandre Sukhov, new docent in business administration at Karlstad Business School, is one of the authors behind the study.
Quiet quitting means that employees stop engaging more than necessary – they do their job, but nothing beyond that.

A battery made from zinc and lignin that can be used over 8000 times. This has been developed by researchers at Karlstad University, Linköping University and Chalmers with a vision to provide a cheap and sustainable battery solution for countries where access to electricity is limited.
When research is to be evaluated, quantitative methods have historically been important. Primarily, great importance has been placed on bibliometric methods, that is, measuring publication volumes and the number of citations for the publications. In recent years, however, such methods have been debated, which has led to an ongoing reform of the evaluation system that includes an upgrade of peer review as a method for analysis, and a more cautious use of quantitative methods.

“I am an assistant auditor at Grant Thornton and work in Karlstad. After graduation, I immediately got a job at PWC in Norrköping. I really felt that it was the right job for me, but my girlfriend was still in Karlstad and a long-distance relationship is not that easy. So I moved back to Karlstad and switched to Grant Thornton. This time it was also easy to find employment because of what I had studied at the Karlstad Business School and my theoretical background.
A fiercely passionate suicide prevention activist becomes Karlstad University’s alumnus of the year in 2021. Marie Niljung, an entrepreneur with a mission to change attitudes around mental health and save lives, will receive the award at a ceremony later this fall.
