Redevelopment of the square outside House 11 began in April and has now been completed.
On Monday 14 October, Akademiska hus holds an official opening at 10-14.
The terraces of the amphitheater have been freshed up using a pressure washer and there are also new benches, steps and a fence at the top. The square itself now has trees, bushes and perennials, along with places to sit on one side and a stage on the other.
Western music history has largely favoured male artists, while women and non-binary performers and composers have largely been excluded from history writing. This has contributed to musical canons where important voices are missing.How may canonical traditions in music be challenged and expanded, from a gender perspective?

Why did both of you choose to study at Karlstad Business School?
– I think the biggest reason is that we’re born in Värmland, says Erik Steijner. Moving to Karlstad felt natural. We didn’t have any solid plans for life, so instead of applying for random jobs, we chose to study.
What were your expectations for the degree programme at Karlstad Business School? Did it live up to your expectations?
– Our original idea was to study IT, says Erik.

For just over two years, Karlstad University along with society at large has followed the Public Health Agency’s guidelines, recommendations, and information due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the pandemic now slowing down, special measures are no longer needed and the information will therefore be removed.
Of all organized educational activities, testing procedures are perhaps the most consequential for the learners. The project Testing Talk, funded by the Swedish Research Council between 2013 - 2016 [Reg. no. 2012–4129], we have examined interaction in and the assessment of second language oral proficiency tests, using the speaking part of the national test of English in 9th grade as our empirical case. What happens when two teenagers sit down to take the test, instructed by their teacher?
Practical placement
Through the practical placement included in different courses in Civics, contacts are established with the schools which receive our students. In courses which include longer periods of practical placement, the cooperation with schools is enhanced through the visits and other personal contacts that are employed to follow and support the students’ development.
