Gender studies is not something to engage in. This is a common statement in eastern Europe, where there is major resistance and study programmes are under constant threat of closure. Now the Department of Sociology and the Department of Gender Studies in Lund are joining forces to support colleagues and programmes in the region.

The exhibition “Coded Threads” traces threads from the origin of the digital, the woven fabric, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The loom is the basis of binary coding: the thread can go over or under the warp, be a one or a zero. The thread is coded and acquires meaning – becomes an image, a pattern, a calculation, an algorithm. Everything can become data through the thread in the w

Tusentals skånska barn och deras föräldrar har i flera studier bidragit till att forskarna kommit närmare svaren. Av de cirka 5 000 barn som föds per år i landet med en förhöjd risk att utveckla typ 1-diabetes kommer runt 350

För en tid sedan fick jag frågan ”vad vill Lunds universitet när det gäller AI och forskning?”. Först blev jag lite förvånad och tänkte ska universitetet ha en uttryckt önskan om detta. Men sedan började jag fundera på andra ambitioner vi tydligt uttalat. Vi vill vara ”ett universitet i världsklass”, vi vill ”förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor” och vi vill ”öka vårt in
