This beam is destructive which enables shaping of objects inside of the microscope. Such a microscope can act as a knife, removing section by section of a sample. Together with high-quality sample preparation and electron detectors, this facilitates a volumetric view of any given sample at high magnification and resolution. This seminar will describe the method in more detail and give examples of supported projects and applications.Webpage of <a href="/link/fb48be8ddb6347308d7622d64012b103.aspx">Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM)</a>Registration: Sign up for the IRL seminar and reserve your free lunch (salad, drink, and little sweet snack) by Friday, 25 April, 13:30:<a href="/link/f39ac2dec4bd4aa6bf9eb4f302aa37ad.aspx#I250429">/en/research/infrastructure/scilifelab/scilifelab-site-umea--kbc-infrastructure-seminar-series/</a>or follow online (registration is not required):Meeting URL: <a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/69390567429">https://umu.zoom.us/j/69390567429</a>Organisers: <a href="/link/5db0c95188864d66a069d6526fc2edda.aspx">SciLifeLab Site Umeå</a> and <a href="/link/69e360b5484d4a789f2b785e0ddb09c2.aspx">Chemical Biological Centre (KBC)</a>, Umeå Glasburen, KBC, and ZoomSeminar/en/events/fib-sem-250429_12081369/2025-04-29T12:00:00+02:002025-04-29T13:00:00+02:00/en/events/norm-critical-desire_12040349/Norm Critical DesireJosefin Olsson, PhD student in Gender Studies at ��å University.Tue, 29 Apr 2025 13:00:00 +0200<img src="/link/49a5f1dfe2c24e5eb056e86fb6061c51.aspx" alt="imagecmf9f.png" loading="lazy" />Presenter Josefin Olsson, PhD student in Gender Studies at Umeå University.Title Norm Critical DesireThis presentation centres on Josefin Olsson’s dissertation project in which she develops a feminist critique of norm critique, based on a poststructural and psychoanalytical framework. The study includes three different cases exploring the constitutive effects and political implications of norm critique as a concept and practice, with the aim to understand the practical and political consequences of the concept and to analyse implementations of norm critique as part of a more complex political development. Josefin Olsson is especially interested in how norm critical pedagogy, as a theoretical concept, is constructed and filled with meaning through narrative descriptions about its historical development and theoretical framework. While norm critique has developed into a well-used tool in the work against discrimination and for equal opportunities in Sweden it has also been subjected to extensive criticism. Mostly in the context of media discussion where the concept, from the political right, has been associated with a so called “gender ideology”. Outside the academic fields it is a controversial concept that positions its proponents on a left/feminist/liberal side on the political scale, and its critics on the right wing/nationalist/anti-gender side.During the seminar, Josefin Olsson puts a special focus on the internal academic discussions and definitions of the concept of norm critique. Josefin presents some of the results of her study and raises the question of whether psychoanalytic feminist theory can contribute to norm critique.Josefin Olsson is a PhD student in Gender Studies at Umeå University. Her main research interests concern feminist theory, feminist cultural studies, and Swedish gender equality. In her dissertation she explores the political implications of ‘norm-critique’ as a tool for social justice and change. <div class="epi-contentfragment">2025 Anmälan och zoomlänk 29 april</div><div class="epi-contentfragment">2023 Contact Lotta</div>ZoomSeminar/en/events/norm-critical-desire_12040349/2025-04-29T13:00:00+02:002025-04-29T14:30:00+02:00/en/events/medchem-seminar-series-karl-kochanowski_12072920/Medchem Seminar Series - Karl KochanowskiTitle: "Mapping the in vitro metabolic interaction network of a nasal microbiota community"Tue, 29 Apr 2025 15:15:00 +0200Speaker:<h3>Karl Kochanowski</h3>IRTA-CReSA Animal Health Research Center, Barcelona, Spain, and guest researcher at IceLabTitle:<h3>Mapping the in vitro metabolic interaction network of a nasal microbiota community</h3>  KB.E3.01 (Lilla hörsalen), KBCSeminar/en/events/medchem-seminar-series-karl-kochanowski_12072920/2025-04-29T15:15:00+02:002025-04-29T16:00:00+02:00/en/events/sara-pudas_12050983/��å Cognitive Science Seminar: Sara PudasThe ��å Cognitive Science Seminar invites you to a seminar with Sara Pudas, ��å University. Tue, 29 Apr 2025 15:15:00 +0200The Umeå Cognitive Science Seminar invites you to a a seminar with Sara Pudas, Umeå University. Pudas will speak on the topic of "The aging brain: different perspectives on frontal cortex overactivation in older adults".Abstract: The aging brain undergoes many changes to its structure and function, which have consequences for our cognitive abilities. Despite decades of brain aging research in humans, many questions remain. This talk will revisit one of the most intriguing and debated findings within the field of cognitive neuroscience of aging, namely the commonly observed increased functional brain activation in the frontal cortex of older adults. By presenting illustrative examples of studies conducted at the Umeå Centre for Functional Brain Imaging, along with other recent research, some of the main theoretical accounts of frontal overactivation will be explored. Additionally, some of the challenges and pitfalls inherent in cognitive and brain aging research will be highlighted. The talk will conclude with a brief discussion on some potential future directions in the field.Bio: Sara Pudas is an associate professor in psychology at Umeå University. She graduated from Umeå University’s Cognitive Science program in 2008, received her PhD in Psychology from Stockholm University in 2013, and has worked at the Medical Faculty at Umeå University for more than a decade. Her research investigates individual differences in cognitive aging from neurodegenerative disorders to successful cognitive aging, with a particular focus on longitudinal studies.<h3>About the seminar series</h3><a href="/link/28963cd2d1a943938b5dba8dba7d6217.aspx">Learn more about the Umeå Cognitive Science Seminar and upcoming events</a>HUM.H.119Seminar/en/events/sara-pudas_12050983/2025-04-29T15:15:00+02:002025-04-29T16:00:00+02:00/en/events/walpurgis-on-campus_12074135/Walpurgis on CampusWalpurgis on Campus - with a spring choir of over 100 voices.Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:10:00 +0200Walpurgis on Campus - with a spring choir of over 100 voices, dancing, crackling fires and our new principal Tora Holmberg gives a spring speech.Wednesday, April 30, at 12.10-12.50.

In this talk, I focus on one such account, which holds that the characteristic feeling of unreality in derealization reflects a failure to experience perceptual objects and events as mind-independent. I argue that this view encounters conceptual difficulties, and I raise three objections that put its plausibility into question. I conclude by proposing a two-factor desideratum for theories of derealization, suggesting that experiential dimensions such as felt presence and unreality should not be presumed to attach solely to the perception of external objects.<h3>About the seminar series</h3><a href="/link/c39c3aa808c341fbb6e20b226145c3cc.aspx">Learn more about the seminar series in Philosophy and upcoming events</a>HUM.H.119 (HD108)Seminar/en/events/fabiana-caserta_12036698/2025-04-30T13:15:00+02:002025-04-30T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/fraiday-ai-powered-materials-for-human-machine-interactions_12071652/#frAIday: AI-Powered Sensing Materials for Human-Machine InteractionsA #frAIday talk with Dr Liucheng Guo, about AI-Powered Sensing Materials for Next-Generation Human-Machine InteractionsFri, 02 May 2025 12:15:00 +0200#frAIday hybrid You can participate via Zoom or join us in Galaxen, Umeå University. The speaker will be present through Zoom. Welcome! AbstractThis talk explores a more sustainable approach to AI: embedded intelligence, where AI runs directly on low-cost, local devices rather than relying on energy-intensive cloud infrastructure. By processing data on the device itself, we can dramatically reduce energy consumption, improve response times, and enhance data privacy.Dr. Liucheng Guo co-founded TG0 to turn this vision into reality. TG0’s patented technology transforms flexible materials into intelligent, touch-sensitive surfaces—eliminating the need for traditional mechanical sensors. The result is a new generation of intuitive, low-power human-machine interfaces.By combining tactile sensing with embedded AI, TG0’s systems deliver smarter, more efficient solutions. From pressure-mapping in rehabilitation to seamless controls in consumer electronics, TG0’s technology showcases how intelligent systems can be made not only more accessible and responsive—but fundamentally more sustainable.<div class="epi-contentfragment">RegisterHereFrAIday</div>Zoom & SiriusLecture/en/events/fraiday-ai-powered-materials-for-human-machine-interactions_12071652/2025-05-02T12:15:00+02:002025-05-02T13:00:00+02:00/en/events/integrated-biomedical-science-seminar-mario-feldman_12050947/Integrated Biomedical Science seminar: Mario FeldmanMario Feldman from Washington University School of Medicine in the US gives a lecture.Fri, 02 May 2025 14:00:00 +0200<h3>Lipoprotein trafficking and the biogenesis of Outer Membrane Vesicles in human gut bacteria</h3>Speaker: Mario Feldman, Washington University School of Medicine, US Host: Felipe Cava, Department of Molecular Biology / MIMS <h3>About the Integrated Biomedical Science Seminars:</h3>SSIBS@UmU is a broad, open seminar series within life science organised jointly by the Department of Clinical Microbiology, the Department of Molecular Biology, Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine, Umeå Centre for Microbial Research, UCMR, and Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS.Major Groove at the Department of Molecular Biology, Building 6LSeminar/en/events/integrated-biomedical-science-seminar-mario-feldman_12050947/2025-05-02T14:00:00+02:002025-05-02T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/andreas-brannstrom-computing-science_12062509/Andreas Brännström, Computing ScienceFormal Methods for Verification in Human-Agent InteractionMon, 05 May 2025 13:00:00 +0200Andreas Brännström defends his thesis by the title Formal Methods for Verification in Human-Agent Interaction.Supervisor: Juan Carlos Nieves SanchezHUM.D.220Defence of doctoral thesis/en/events/andreas-brannstrom-computing-science_12062509/2025-05-05T13:00:00+02:002025-05-05T17:00:00+02:00/en/events/cryo-fib-sem-250506_12081397/Cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB-SEM)SciLifeLab Site ��å / KBC Infrastructure Seminar SeriesTue, 06 May 2025 12:00:00 +0200In the frame of the “SciLifeLab Site Umeå / KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series”, the seminars will be organised on Tuesdays during spring 2025.

Its power comes from its versatility to study biological systems in vitro or in situ, i.e. within cells or tissue. It has the ability to reach uncharted regions in biological systems. Cryo-FIB milling is used to expose 100–250 nm thin sections (called lamella) in intact frozen cells and tissue. The process allows access into the cells for high-resolution cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and structure determination of biomolecules in their native environment.Webpage of <a href="/link/fb48be8ddb6347308d7622d64012b103.aspx">Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM)</a>Registration: Sign up for the IRL seminar and reserve your free lunch (salad, drink, and a little sweet snack) by Friday, 2 May, 13:30:<a href="/link/f39ac2dec4bd4aa6bf9eb4f302aa37ad.aspx#I250429">/en/research/infrastructure/scilifelab/scilifelab-site-umea--kbc-infrastructure-seminar-series/</a>or follow online (registration is not required):Meeting URL: <a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/69390567429">https://umu.zoom.us/j/69390567429</a>Organisers: <a href="/link/5db0c95188864d66a069d6526fc2edda.aspx">SciLifeLab Site Umeå</a> and <a href="/link/69e360b5484d4a789f2b785e0ddb09c2.aspx">Chemical Biological Centre (KBC)</a>, Umeå Glasburen, KBC, and ZoomSeminar/en/events/cryo-fib-sem-250506_12081397/2025-05-06T12:00:00+02:002025-05-06T13:00:00+02:00/en/events/survivance-of-indigenous-knowledges-and-lifeways-_12080388/Survivance of Indigenous Knowledges and Lifeways Laara Fitznor, internationally renowned Indigenous researcher, will give a digital lecture as part of the seminar series Várdduo 25 years.Tue, 06 May 2025 15:00:00 +0200Welcome to a seminar with Laara Fitznor!

The relations between features are often represented as networks, but the methods for analyzing these vary across fields and are often ad-hoc. We suggest using recent progress in network community detection as a general framework for this purpose. This approach reliably extracts meaningful structure even from noisy data while requiring fewer samples - particularly valuable for practical applications.Interested in: Connecting with researchers who work with similarity data and want to explore new approaches to model selection and regularization.<h3> Pitch 2: Jian-Feng Mao, Associate professor at Department of Plant Physiology, UPSC</h3><h3>New Tool PlantLncBoost Transforms Plant lncRNA Discovery with 3 Key Features</h3>In today's biological data deluge, where genomic sequencing facilities generate terabytes of information daily across thousands of species, computational tools are essential for knowledge extraction.We generated a new method, PlantLncBoost, which addresses a critical challenge in plant genomics: identifying long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) across diverse species despite their poor sequence conservation. By integrating advanced machine-learning algorithms with strategic feature selection, this method achieves unprecedented accuracy and generalizability in lncRNA identification. This work demonstrates the necessity of continuous computational tool refinement to expand our understanding of biodiversity and extract meaningful insights from overwhelming biological data.Interested in: We are looking for collaboration from both biologists (to pinpoint critical research questions) and computer scientists (to integrate the latest advancements in computing technology). <h2>Where is it?</h2>KBC Glasburen, near the KBC café.

These changes, or parts of them, were integrated into the Roman network and led to the introduction of new ideas, materials and flavours, some of which were adopted, adapted or further developed. In this paper, the dietary habits in the northern provinces of the Roman Empire are analysed on the basis of food plants. Archaeobotanical data was collected in an object-oriented relational geodatabase to enable comparisons and to obtain an up-to-date and very comprehensive dataset. The aim of the analysis is to identify plant-based dietary patterns of different social groups and their significance for coping with the new realities in the Roman world. Finally, it will discuss how the network of food plants in the region can be analysed and how this can contribute to a new understanding of the Roman economy.<h2>About the seminar series</h2>The Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology presents and discusses current research in archaeology and environmental archaeology. <a title="The research seminar series in archaeology" href="/link/e38d28f9751a4256b488b852295b3b27.aspx">See more upcoming seminars in the series</a>Online in ZoomSeminar/en/events/patricia-vandorpe_12062443/2025-05-08T13:00:00+02:002025-05-08T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/firm-premiums-and-the-great-compression_12010651/Firm premiums and the great compressionCEDAR seminar with Jonatan Andersson, Department of Economic History, Uppsala University.Thu, 08 May 2025 13:00:00 +0200Welcome to a CEDAR seminar with Jonatan Andersson, Department of Economic History, Uppsala University. Firm premiums and the great compression: Evidence from a worker-employer linked database for Stockholm during the postwar period During the postwar period, wage and income inequality declined dramatically in the Western world. Notably, Sweden transitioned from high levels of income inequality to becoming known as the world's most equal country. This project studies the role of firms and workers in this process. Using a machine-learning approach, we aim to construct a unique database containing individual-level data on income, firms, and addresses for Stockholm's population annually from 1940 to 1970 from combined tax and population registers. With this database, we can study how the income distribution evolved for employees within and between all companies in Stockholm and what drove this development.We investigate three aspects related to the core investigation. First, the postwar period saw low unemployment rates, which strengthened workers’ bargaining power. This shift led to increased worker turnover rates and, allegedly, higher wages. We analyze this phenomenon using our linked worker-employer dataset. Second, today’s rising income inequality is largely driven by growing disparities in compensation between workers at different workplaces. We investigate whether the postwar period showed the opposite trend—declining workplace heterogeneity among workers. Third, the role of infrastructure investments in facilitating workplace mobility during the postwar period. We address this question by examining the 1950s rollout of the Stockholm metro and its impact on labor market outcomes for residents living close to and far from the metro stations.

At the same time, reliable markers for improved diagnostics and therapeutic decisions are lacking. Growth of PCa is highly dependent on androgens, and hormone ablation therapy is a cornerstone of current therapeutic approaches. However, many PCa patients succumb to androgen-independent tumor growth in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Expression and activation of androgen receptor (AR) in these tumors is no longer dependent on androgen stimulation.While the tumor-promoting role of androgens is well established, the role of thyroid hormones (THs), and lipid-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, vitamin D) is largely unresolved. These ligands exert their functions through specific nuclear receptors (NRs) which belong to a protein superfamily that form ligand-dependent homo- and heterodimers. The respective NRs - TRs, RARs and VDR - function as complexes together with the cognate dimerization partner retinoic X receptor (RXR) and nuclear coactivator (NcoA) or corepressor (NcoR) factors to bind to genomic DNA at specific motifs and regulate transcription.Accumulating evidence indicates an additional growth stimulatory role of non-steroidal hormone NRs in PCa, which could play an essential role in the advanced or treatment-resistant PCa stage. Yet, their activities and interplay in PCa are unknown and warrant more investigation. A deeper understanding of the molecular details of the intersection of TH, lipid-soluble vitamin and steroid hormone NR action is vital to developing novel diagnostic/prognostic markers and identifying therapeutic targets in PCa.This talk will focus on the role and crosstalk of NRs in PCa, with an emphasis on advanced and drug-resistant PCa entities. We analyze the abundance and cellular distribution of NRs and the genes they regulate, and study whether their effects are competetive or synergistic. We compare these findings with those in more aggressive PCa. Using PCa patient cohorts, we validate whether NR expression and top-regulated genes represent biomarkers or prognostic factors in PCa. NR-regulated gene patterns may have the potential to provide therapeutic targets that help to overcome treatment resistance. The findings may improve the treatment of patients not only with prostate cancer, but also with other hormone-dependent cancers.Integrated Biomedical Science Seminars: is a broad, open seminar series in life science that is arranged jointly.Major groove, department of molecular Biology, Building 6LSeminar/en/events/integrated-biomedical-science-seminar-brigitte-hantusch_12063023/2025-05-09T14:00:00+02:002025-05-09T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/game-jam-on-campus-a-fun-weekend-for-those-who-want-to-create-and-play_12069259/Game Jam on Campus – a fun weekend for those who want to create and play!Do you love games, and have always wanted to try your hand at making one?

This will allow for the large-scale analysis of a landscape with minimal effort, compared to carrying boats to remote areas. As pilot studies, we aim to sample spatially Kassjön lakes in May 2025 and > 90 lakes near Abisko (West of Torbeträsk). During this talk, Eric will discuss about what such type of sampling can provide better view on microbial diversity and the research questions that could be answered with this approach.  expect this pilot study to provide invaluable background for in-depth studies of the impact of ongoing human-driven environmental changes on lake microbial services.<img src="/link/234596b939d84047a29b52b930cc8079.aspx" alt="Capoimage.png" width="436" height="245" loading="lazy" />Photo: Eric Capo, sampling equipmentDrop in to IceLab (<a href="https://link.mazemap.com/y7Wz5EnM">find using mazemap</a>) or join via Zoom: IceLab Living Room Zoom 612 568 7586IceLab & ZoomSeminar/en/events/icelab-affiliate-seminar-with-eric-capo_12078434/2025-05-13T14:00:00+02:002025-05-13T16:00:00+02:00/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-mingyuan-zhu_12076822/UPSC Seminar with Mingyuan ZhuScientific seminar organised by ��å Plant Science Centre (UPSC)Tue, 13 May 2025 14:00:00 +0200UPSC SeminarSpeaker: Mingyuan ZhuPostdoc Associate, Benfey Lab, Duke University, Durham, USATitle: Single-cell insights into root adaptation to soil compaction AbstractSoil compaction represents a major challenge to modern agriculture. One major problem caused by soil compaction is that it exerts water stress on roots as moisture release is reduced from the smaller soil pores. Despite its agronomic importance, how roots respond to compacted soil conditions at the cellular level remains unclear. Here, we pioneered the use of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics on rice roots grown in soils to delve into the cell-level mechanisms governing root responses to soil compaction. Through differential expression analysis comparing non-compacted and compacted soil-based single-cell transcriptomic data, we identified a significant up-regulation in the expression of genes responsible for water impermeable barrier formation in the outer root tissues (Exodermis). This gene up-regulation was induced by an enhanced biosynthesis of plant hormone, abscisic acid (ABA) and its release from the inner tissues (Phloem). The role of ABA in responses to soil compaction was further highlighted by the suppression of barrier formation in the exodermis in ABA-deficient rice mutants. In summary, our single cell resolution study revealed how root tissues coordinate to facilitate the retention of water in root tips during soil compaction stress.<a href="https://mingyuanzhu.com/">https://mingyuanzhu.com/</a>"Lilla hörsalen" (Small lecture hall), KB.E3.01, KBC buildingSeminar/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-mingyuan-zhu_12076822/2025-05-13T14:00:00+02:002025-05-13T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/medchem-seminar-series-eliette-touati_12042577/Medchem Seminar Series - Eliette TouatiTitle: “Helicobacter pylori and gastric oncogenesis: from molecular events to gastric cancer biomarkers discovery”Tue, 13 May 2025 15:15:00 +0200Speaker:<h3>Eliette Touati</h3>Team Infection, Genotoxicity and Cancer, Department of Microbiology, Institut Pasteur ParisTitle:<h3>Helicobacter pylori and gastric oncogenesis: from molecular events to gastric cancer biomarkers discovery</h3> KB.E3.01 (Lilla hörsalen), KBCSeminar/en/events/medchem-seminar-series-eliette-touati_12042577/2025-05-13T15:15:00+02:002025-05-13T16:00:00+02:00/en/events/daniel-giberman_12036701/Philosophy: Daniel GibermanThe Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Daniel Giberman, Göteborg.Wed, 14 May 2025 13:15:00 +0200The Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Daniel Giberman, Göteborg.

When coral reefs bleach and collapse, disrupting entire marine food chains? Can we reverse environmental collapse?As part of the celebrations marking 15 years of Umeå University's Integrated Science Lab (<a href="http://icelab.se">IceLab</a>), we invite you to a special public lecture in Aula Nordica on May 22nd by distinguished researcher Ricard Solé. This free event is open to all, with a particular invitation to students. Expect a lively presentation and discussion!<h3>What do we mean by terraforming ecosystems?</h3>Ricard Solé explores "terraforming ecosystems" as a method to restore and stabilize environments damaged by human activity. This approach uses synthetic biology to engineer organisms capable of rehabilitating ecosystems at risk of collapse due to climate change and overexploitation. By introducing specially designed organisms, the goal is to restore ecological balance and prevent catastrophic shifts.For example, in arid regions, engineering native microbes to enhance water retention could support plant growth and combat desertification. This strategy focuses on using organisms already adapted to local conditions, reducing risks associated with introducing foreign species.Solé's work combines ecology, synthetic biology, and complex systems science to develop interventions that can avert ecosystem tipping points. His research includes mathematical models that predict the outcomes of introducing engineered organisms, aiming for safe and effective ecological restoration.In this lecture, Solé will discuss how synthetic biology can be applied to environmental conservation, focusing on innovative solutions to pressing ecological challenges.Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page to register to attend this event.

Seminar with Simon Lindgren, author of Critical Theory and AITue, 27 May 2025 13:15:00 +0200<h3>How can critical theory inform transdisciplinary AI research design?</h3>The <a href="/link/b9d6f2d6a5f74f73a47bdb1236eaccaa.aspx">TAIGA focus area CELS-AI</a> in collaboration with DIGSUM invites you to a seminar on how critical theory can help inform transdisciplinary research design in AI—particularly for those of us working across disciplinary boundaries and trying to find shared concepts, questions, and approaches.Our guest speaker will be Simon Lindgren, Professor of Sociology at Umeå University and author of Critical Theory and AI. His work explores how critical theory can help us make sense of the complex entanglements between society, technology, and knowledge production—he will help us think through the theoretical underpinnings of collaborative research.The seminar will focus on how critical theory—broadlyunderstood—can offer a useful common ground for researchers from different fields. Rather than trying to standardise disciplinary differences, we’ll be discussing how a shared theoretical orientation might help navigate them productively. Simon will draw on both classic and contemporary strands of critical theory, including insights from his work on AI, to show how these perspectives can be practically useful when designing and conducting transdisciplinary research. The seminar is intended for researchers involved in (or curious about) interdisciplinary or cross-sector collaborations, regardless of disciplinary background. After Simon’s talk, we’ll open the floor for discussion. The idea is to have a space for reflection and conversation, so bring your questions, your disciplinary baggage, and your research dilemmas. <h3>When and where: 27th of May, 13:15 – 15:00, Galaxen (Universum)</h3>This is an in-person event only.

However, in the recent wake of feminist and postcolonial critiques, we see research and activism pointing out how these liberal norms have been intimately tangled up with national sentiments. Thus, turning into what is known as homo/femo-nationalism. A concept and societal figure that illuminate how gender equality and rights of LGBT+ people are colonized by national ideologies of superiority. At this seminar, Dr. Michael Nebeling Petersen (University of Copenhagen) and Prof. Lena Martinsson (Göteborg University) will share critical perspectives and approaches to study and disentangle homo/femo-nationalism in its various appearances in the Nordic welfare states. Dr. Marta Padovan-Özdemir (Roskilde University) will moderate a discussion on how homo/femo-nationalism may be haunting norm critical pedagogies, hence, complicating a context-sensitive theorization of norm critique.Lena Martinsson is professor in Gender studies, university of Gothenburg. She is working on two research projects. One of the projects is about political subjectivity among teachers, students, and principals. The other focus on anti-gender movements in the Nordic region.  Michael Nebeling Petersen is associate professor in Gender Studies at the Center for Gender, Sexuality and Difference at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has especially studied homosexual culture and citizenship, new technologies of reproduction and kinship as well as digital media and mediated cultures of intimacy – in particular, in the intersections between sexuality, gender, whiteness, and national belonging. Currently, he is PI for the collaborative interdisciplinary project The Cultural History of AIDS in Denmark, that examines how AIDS emerged, became signified and became embedded in Danish culture 1981-2000.Marta Padovan-Özdemir is associate professor in diversity, discrimination and social sustainability at the Department of People and Technology, Roskilde University, Denmark. For the past six years, she has studied the implementation of norm critical perspectives in various educational settings. Currently, she is the Co-PI of a research project advancing the theoretical conceptualization of change in norm critical pedagogy. Padovan-Özdemir is also the co-founder and convener of the Shifting Grounds Research Network.<div class="epi-contentfragment">Anmälan och zoomlänk 27 maj 2025</div><div class="epi-contentfragment">2023 Contact Lotta</div>ZoomSeminar/en/events/homofemo-nationalism-and-norm-critical-pedagogy_12057420/2025-05-27T14:00:00+02:002025-05-27T16:00:00+02:00/en/events/graduation-ceremony-2025_12008289/Graduation Ceremony 2025 for International Master's ProgrammesOn Tuesday 27 May, ��å University will hold a ceremony to honour graduating students of International Master's Programmes.

More specifically, we analyse four Finnish 'gangsta rap' videos and their lyrics by artists who have received considerable attention in the Finnish media during the past two years. While the media argue that we are facing a new situation of commodified gang violence mediated by ‘gangsta rap’ – or, to be precise, drill-influenced music, which has been termed as ‘gangsta’ by the media – our analysis, drawing on previous research in cultural criminology and hip hop studies, suggests that both the music and the criminal activities, as well as the responses to them, are similar to those observed in earlier US and UK research. However, what makes Finland a globally interesting case study in studying gangsta rap and their assumed connection to street gangs is i) a relatively small number of immigrants and people of colour, ii) substantial media attention based on official discourse and high trust in the authorities, and iii) the escalation of gang violence in the neighbouring Sweden and its anticipated trickle-down effect to Finland. We argue that, in exploring the complex interconnections between authenticity, crime and gang life, one needs a ‘placed’, street literate understanding, the lack of which may arbitrarily stigmatise certain groups of people and certain musical styles.HUM.G.217 Seminar/en/events/seminar-erica-aberg_12058925/2025-05-28T13:15:00+02:002025-05-28T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/margherita-arcangeli-and-jean-nicod_12036717/Philosophy: Margherita Arcangeli and Jean NicodThe Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Margherita Arcangeli and Jean Nicod.Wed, 28 May 2025 13:15:00 +0200The Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Margherita Arcangeli and Jean Nicod.

You need no prior knowledge within natural sciences to take part in this ”journey in time” with focus on the natural history of the area. During the excursion, we will use paleoecology as a tool to explore the landscape development on campus. Paleoecology can be described as the study of earlier ecological and environmental changes, usually based on analyses of fossils, sedimentary depositions, and other physical remnants. The main factors that have shaped the landscape are glacial processes and land upheaval, which is reflected in today’s natural environment and our use of the landscape. The excursion will hopefully contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationships between geological, ecological, and human factors that have shaped the landscape around Umeå University.

In Sweden, there are not that many tree species and a few are non-native, but how many of these tree species do you really know? Further, the leaves on many tree species shift colours during autumn. Why do they do that?

We welcome everyone interested in engaging in research and collaboration for sustainable transformation as we gather this year around the theme of polycrises.Our world is characterised by global challenges of increasing complexity. The combination of crises such as pandemics, climate change, and wars reinforce each other and together form a polycrisis. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary research is required at multiple levels. At this conference, experts from various disciplines will gather to discuss and shed light on the phenomenon of polycrisis from different perspectives.Take the opportunity to meet researchers and colleagues from across the university, and develop new collaborations that can help address major societal challenges of our time.Call for abstracts is open! Are you interested in organising a session, or display your research with a poster?
