Our choices as consumers are governed by various factors. At the restaurant one of them is the appearance of the person serving us - if the person has a look that is perceived as healthy, we choose the healthy options from the menu. These are the findings from a study made by researchers Poja Shams and Anders Gustafsson.
The health trend is growing and we are becoming increasingly aware of what kind of food we should consume to maintain good health.

- Visual regimes of urban platformization: aesthetics, glitch, communication
Friday, 7 October, 14:00-15:30
Live on Campus or on Zoom (link will be sent out)
Abstract
In this talk, I engage with the visual regimes of urban platformization as an emergent and crystalizing logic in cities. Drawing on a range of empirical instances from North American cities, I situate and trace urban platform visualities in three registers: aesthetics, the glitch, and communication.

Doctoral programme in English at Karlstad University.
PhD studies in English may be pursued with a specialisation in linguistics or literature, and admitted PhD candidates have the opportunity to design their dissertation projects within either of these subject areas. Thirteen PhD degrees have been awarded since 1999, when English was approved as a doctoral discipline.
The PhD programme in English is largely designed individually.
