Transgender Studies presents a rapidly growing and increasingly influential field in contemporary transdisciplinary Gender Studies.
It is one of the key elements in defining the research and teaching landscape of CGF. Understanding transgender as a non-linear and deterritorialising movement away from birth assigned sex, this field participates in the ongoing project of undoing the western and eurocentric norms of the gender binary.
A systematic approach to improvement, development, learning, collaboration and feedback to society are important tasks at a modern, ambitious business school.

On 3–6 June, over 275 conference participants gathered in Rome to attend QUIS19 – The 19th International Research Symposium on Service Excellence in Management. This international conference, now considered the foremost in service research, has its roots in Karlstad – and began as an idea at the Service Research Center (CTF).
“QUIS was born at a time when services were gaining importance but still remained a relatively unexplored research field,” says Per Kristensson.

Activists and researchers have voiced concerns about feminism turning too much to criminalisation. The term ‘carceral feminism’ was coined to describe how feminist calls for law reform have supported the law-and-order agenda in the U.S. At the same time, scholars have opposed this way of framing feminist engagement with law reform and instead argued for a more nuanced understanding.
Siri Jagstedt is a senior lecturer in Business Administration at Karlstad Business School, where she teaches industrial management and engineering. She now joins CTF to conduct research related to digitalisation and servitization.

The two biggest challenges in mastering transport through heterogeneously active materials are computational intractability, and presence of uncertainty: most microstructures are either active (freely evolving), or have incomplete input data making exact computations impossible.
Recently, there has been a significant progress in the understanding of intractability, based on mathematical theory of homogenization and efficient multiscale numerical methods.
