Earning a doctorate is hard work and at times quite a solitary existence, often an uphill climb that stretches over several years. But what is it like to pursue a doctorate in music?

Stefan BackiusStefan Backius is a historian specializing in the social and cultural consequences of deindustrialization in industrial communities, with a particular focus on Bergslagen – a historically significant industrial region in central Sweden. Through microhistorical methods and place-based perspectives, he examines how local experiences and memories of work and industrial transformation shape identity and community development.
Our research explores the social dynamics of political and economic inclusion and exclusion. Racism, as an ideology and everyday practice, constitutes an integral part of this focus, as do discourses on cultural values in contemporary processes of both conflict and convivial coexistence.

Artist 2023: Build a brand, get to know your target audience, release a song on digital platforms and make sure to keep the momentum going 24/7.
It doesn’t matter if the artist, the production, or the songs have a classic, vintage feel. Behind most of the active artists today, there is a whole digital ecosystem.

What does your life actually sound like? Jenny Wilson, adjunct professor at Ingesund School of Music, believes that your personal life journey is the most exciting thing about you as a songwriter, producer, and artist. What is your story, and how do you share it?
Karlstad University’s user lab are used by different disciplines and also in collaboration with external parties. Within the research group for usability studies, there is also the development of methodologies for interaction design, especially around Ozlab which is a GUI experimental web service developed to admit easy testing, even improvisation, of ideas for interactive products. It admits non-programmers to become concept developers and interactivity testers.
