...Markus Holdo! You just came back from Italy where you've done fieldwork, tell me, what have you done and how did it go? – Yes, it was very exciting! I'm gathering material for a study on how people in rural areas think about politics and development. It became particularly clear after Brexit that there's a lot we don't understand. For example, it's interesting, and some might say paradoxical,

Malin Espersson has been conducting ongoing research into how municipalities work with gender mainstreaming. The results show a lack of commitment from management and politicians, with a risk that the work will become symbolic rather than contributing to change. The Flexit project, funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, started on March 1, 2023, and is a collaboration between the researcher and

A new study tracking three decades of municipal data challenges a common narrative, finding that while some state services have become more centralised, rural areas have not experienced larger declines in public employment than cities. In several key welfare services, rural municipalities have even strengthened their position. The idea that rural communities are being abandoned by the public secto

Archaeologist Greer Jarrett’s research focuses on reconstructing Viking sailing routes and cartography. To do so, he learnt to sail boats similar to those sailed by the Vikings and set off out to sea. He likens the sailors of that time to today’s extreme athletes. “I started a fairly theoretical doctoral thesis on reconstructing Viking sailing routes, but I wanted practical experience from a sailo

Lund University has been sliding down the lists of the three main university ranking organisations for several years. Today, we make only one of the top 100 lists, and even then with a mere five places above the 100 cut-off. Daniel J.
