How do we manage crises—and what consequences do they have?Tue, 16 Dec 2025 13:00:00 +0100In collaboration between UTRI and SHIP (Sustainable Health in Partnership), a group of researchers gathers to work from a fictional case of a realistic crisis situation and then meet in a roundtable discussion to explore how they understand and interpret the scenario.What consequences do crises have for society, the environment, and people—and how can different research disciplines collaborate to understand both needs and solutions?This event is being held in Swedish, but will be recorded with english subtitles and published on the UTRI web.Read more about the event on the Swedish website: <a href="/link/896540f7055948fb877252897c012e3f.aspx?epslanguage=sv">Skyfallet i Bergsvik 2035</a>OnlineSeminar/en/events/the-skyfall-in-bergsvik-2035---a-roundtable-discussion_12152709/2025-12-16T13:00:00+01:002025-12-16T14:30:00+01:00/en/events/josefine-klingspor_12137063/Philosophy: Josefine KlingsporThe Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Josefine Klingspor, Pittsburgh.Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:15:00 +0100The Research Seminar Series in Philosophy invites you to a seminar with Josefine Klingspor, Pittsburgh, "Spinoza on Self-Preservation".<h3>Abstract</h3>For someone who so vehemently insists on the radically dependent nature of human beings, it is curious that Spinoza positions independence at the center of his conception of the good life. Freedom, virtue, eternal life, knowledge, action—all these goods require the capacity to act or even to exist independent of external support. As commentators have often remarked, Spinoza therefore appears to bar human beings from the good life. And yet, helping us achieve such a life is the explicit goal of his philosophy.This essay examines a less-discussed instance of the same type of problem and proposes a framework for addressing it. According to Spinoza’s conatus doctrine, human beings possess some capacity for sustaining their existence independent of external support. At the same time, Spinoza explicitly affirms, in line with a long philosophical tradition, that self-preservation is metaphysically impossible for beings like us, beings that by nature depend on other things in order to exist.To address this issue, I argue that there are two ways of conceiving the dependence of modes on substance according to Spinoza. Just when modes are conceived as in some sense the same as the sustaining substance can they be self-preserving. Crucially, so conceived, modes are self-preserving because of way they depend on substance. Spinoza’s metaphysics thus opens up the possibility for a kind of existential independence that does not conflict with, but is on the contrary enabled by, one’s status as a dependent being.All interested are welcome to this meeting.<h2>About the seminar series</h2><a href="/link/c39c3aa808c341fbb6e20b226145c3cc.aspx">Learn more about the seminar series in Philosophy and upcoming events</a>HUM.H.119Seminar/en/events/josefine-klingspor_12137063/2025-12-17T13:15:00+01:002025-12-17T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/study-at-umea-university-webinar_12135300/Study at ��å University webinarAre you curious about studying in Sweden?

KeenanQueer Play (And Its Haters) Wed, 17 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0100<img src="/link/75ea4af330e74009b4965552fb623697.aspx" alt="blobid1.png" loading="lazy" />Queer Play (And Its Haters)In this presentation, we begin by recounting the unexpected response to our work on drag pedagogy, including both its celebration and the political backlash. Drawing in part from our experiences with the publication of that article, we offer a work-in-progress manifesto proposing queer play as a strategic orientation—as well as set of imaginative, intellectual, and embodied tactics—toward enacting more just and joyful realities across a range of cultural and political contexts.Queerness and play share many conceptual affinities, particularly in facilitating creative, non-normative, and otherwise outside-the-box approaches to ways of thinking and interacting. Following scholars in both queer (e.g., Rubin 1984, Cohen 1997, Muñoz 2009, Ahmed 2006) and play studies (e.g., Huizinga 1955, Caillois 1958, Flanagan 2009, Trammell 2023), we conceive of queer play in expansive ways. By “queer” we are less focused on LGBTQ+ people or topics, and instead emphasize queer ways of being, knowing, and relating. By “play,” we intentionally imagine a capacious range of activities, from traditional “games” to what game scholars Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman (2003) describe as activities of “being playful.”Yet, many historic and contemporary sites of LGBTQ+ struggle and study distance themselves from overtly playful practices in favor of mainstream modes of respectability and policy. Still, queer play is already mischieviously present in many dominant and disciplining institutions—from schooling to social media platforms—in ways that people misuse (Ahmed 2019), obfuscate (Brunton and Nissenbaum 2016), or otherwise “[embrace] the powerful act of playing the ‘wrong’ way” (Ruberg 2019, 18). Drawing on communication and education studies (including our own work on drag pedagogy and digital cultures: Kornstein 2019; Keenan and Hot Mess 2020), we offer a broad conceptualization of queer play as an alternative worldmaking strategy—for pedagogical practice, research, and political action.  In so doing, we complicate several tensions in both queerness and play, including: discourses of childishness, utility and uselessness, as well as risk and danger; topics that are “off limits;” and the overemphasis on both games and on affects of joy. We share examples of figures (e.g., Taylor Mac, Tom of Finland, The Muppets), scenes/sites (e.g., play parties, dollhouses, imaginary museums), and potential tools/toys of queer play (e.g., queer slang, tarot cards, glitter) that demonstrate queer play already in action. We conclude by offering proposals (and demands) for what queer play might look and feel like, focusing on themes of relationality, aesthetics, and sensation.Marta Padovan-Özdemir (chair and discussant) Associate professor, Roskilde University, Denmark is one of the pioneering researchers of norm critique in Denmark.

Constructing a population database using automated methods – Stockholm in 1955 Researchers in economic history and historical demography have long relied on large micro-level databases to study, for instance, social mobility, fertility, migration, and firm performance. Sweden’s strong tradition of quantitative historical research, combined with its access to high-quality original historical records, has enabled departments to construct various excellent databases, including SEDD and the Historical Manufacturing Census of Sweden in Lund, POPLINK in Umeå, and GOPP in Gothenburg. Yet, assembling such databases is highly labor-intensive, requiring large teams with expertise in handwriting and transcription, and generous external funding. New machine-learning tools are, however, cutting the costs associated with transcribing historical records. With only minor hand compiled training datasets, small teams can transcribe records and assemble large databases in months rather than years. In this presentation, we present the strategies used to construct a new population database, covering everybody living in Stockholm in 1955. We describe the machine-learning method, the original records, and the main challenges that we encounter and how we address them.

He is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy, University of West Bohemia, Plzeň, Czech Republic.In this talk, he introduces his ongoing efforts to adapt contextual language models for studying semantic change in ancient Greek and Latin. Drawing on recent experiments with fine-tuned transformer architectures, he discusses how large-scale semantic modeling can reveal the evolutionary trajectories of ideas across 2,500 years of Greco-Latin textual history — outlining both the methodological challenges and the broader promise of constructing “phylogenies of word sense.”  <div class="epi-contentfragment">Registration Humlab Talk hybrid</div> Humlab / ZoomLecture/en/events/humlab-talk-toward-phylogenies-of-word-sense_12153562/2026-01-29T13:15:00+01:002026-01-29T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/tran-vinh-hong-nguyen--medical-biochemistry_12152123/Tran Vinh Hong Nguyen – Medical BiochemistryMaintaining human mitochondrial DNA: Insights into Replication Stress, Pathogenic Mutations, and Related Mitochondrial Processes.Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0100Tran Vinh Hong Nguyen, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, defends her doctoral thesis Maintaining human mitochondrial DNA: Insights into Replication Stress, Pathogenic Mutations, and Related Mitochondrial Processes. Principal supervisor Sjoerd Wanrooij.Aula BIologicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/tran-vinh-hong-nguyen--medical-biochemistry_12152123/2026-01-30T09:00:00+01:002026-01-30T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/sofi-sandstrom---medical-science_12154216/Sofi Sandström - Medical scienceSofi Sandström defends her thesis in medical science with a focus on imaging and functional medicine.Fri, 30 Jan 2026 09:00:00 +0100Sofi Sandström, Department of Diagnosics and Intervention, defends her doctoral thesis in medical science with a focus on imaging and functional medicine, entitled: Training for the ageing brain – or are we just out cycling?

By using carbohydrates derived from carbon dioxide in flue gases, as well as nitrogen and phosphorus from recycled wastewater, polluted water is purified and global warming is mitigated — while at the same time producing sustainable, cost-effective bioplastics.��å Marine Sciences Centre, NorrbynSeminar/en/events/waste-2-plastic-turning-wastewater-into-bioplastic_12146910/2026-02-09T14:00:00+01:002026-02-09T15:30:00+01:00/en/events/mid-seminar-jakob-wickzell_12153566/Mid seminar: Jakob WickzellWelcome to a mid seminar with Jakob Wickzell, who will talk about his PhD project.Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0100<h2>The impact of place for aesthetics teachers in rural Arctic Sweden</h2>Welcome to a mid seminar with Jakob Wickzell, who will talk about his PhD project titled "The impact of place for aesthetics teachers in rural Arctic Sweden".<h3>Discussant</h3>Helene Ärlestig, professor in educational administration and director for Centre for Principal Development at Umeå University.<h3>About the PhD project</h3>This dissertation examines which factors influence arts, crafts and music teachers' choice of working in northern Sweden's rural areas, and what impact they have on their teaching. The study also examines which approaches rural principals, and local politicians working for education administration in these areas, have for fostering a sustainable development of certified teachers in the aesthetic subjects, as well as how they interpret and implement regulations from state to municipal level. <a href="/link/f3b7ab1a8e8c4ec69d95abf649a249d9.aspx">Read more about the PhD project here</a>Jakob Wickzell is a Doktoral student at the <a href="/link/d2fdb516082645a6872d8aa57595c78f.aspx">Department of Creative Studies (Teacher Education)</a>, and the <a href="/link/9cbb2ba7a1c44ba3b1c06c5eb08ec578.aspx">Arctic Graduate School</a> at Umeå University.��å UniversitySeminar/en/events/mid-seminar-jakob-wickzell_12153566/2026-02-10T13:00:00+01:002026-02-10T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/meet-umea-university-in-madrid_12138487/Meet ��å University in MadridMeet ��å University at the FIEP International Postgraduate Studies Fair in Madrid and explore study opportunities in Sweden.Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0100We will be delighted to meet you in person and guide you through our study programmes, entry requirements, the application and admission process, housing and life in Umeå.    Umeå University is one of the nation's leading institutions of higher education and the largest in northern Sweden. Umeå University offers over 45 degree programmes taught entirely in English where you will study in an environment rich in opportunities for interdisciplinary research and instruction.

Yet efforts to “make it local” often face significant challenges, particularly when it comes to sourcing local and indigenous food within fragmented sustainability initiatives to complex procurement regulations. This seminar will explore these challenges through two in-depth presentations: one from Sweden and one from Canada, offering comparative insights into policy frameworks, operational realities, and cultural considerations.<h2>Speakers</h2>Professor Laure Saulais, Université Laval, CanadaProfessor Sofia Lundberg, Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics at Umeå University, Sweden<h2>Key Discussion Points</h2><ul><li>How is sustainability defined and practiced in institutional foodservice?</li><li>What barriers and opportunities exist for local and indigenous food procurement?</li><li>How do procurement systems, budgets, and regulations shape what is feasible?</li><li>What lessons can be learned from Canada and Sweden to inform Nordic and global contexts?</li><li>How can we evaluate these initiatives effectively—what outcomes matter most?</li><li>How do we ensure social and cultural dimensions, including indigenous foods, are not overlooked?</li></ul>FormatThe seminar will feature two expert presentations followed by an interactive discussion with participants.

The problem with instructions is rarely a lack of information — more often, it is the opposite. When overloaded, students struggle to identify what is important.By analysing your own course communication using established frameworks, you will gain insights into how to reduce cognitive overload and structure instructions in a way that helps students focus and plan. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with concrete strategies to improve your course instructions — thereby increasing clarity in both communication and learning.<a href="/link/abd4998933244c88b7c65c13a30f8109.aspx">Read more and register here</a>Läraren, UPLCourse/en/events/kom-workshop-information-or-exformation_12108750/2026-06-03T08:30:00+02:002026-06-03T12:00:00+02:00/en/events/eurau-26-symposium-latitudes_12139443/EURAU 26 Symposium: Latitudes��å School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioner to the EURAU 26 Symposium on the theme LATITUDES. Wed, 10 Jun 2026 15:00:00 +0200Umeå School of Architecture welcomes educators, researchers and practitioner to contribute to the EURAU 26 Symposium on the theme LATITUDES. Situated reflections on architectural research. Research in Architecture can be conceived as a situated practice, linking to tradition of studies, cultures, climatic and contextual conditions. LATITUDES aims at investigating the field of architecture as a research discipline across cultures, territories and places.Emphasizing the importance of understanding architectural research as a practice situated across multiple contexts, disciplines, and cultural viewpoints and by acknowledging these relational frameworks, LATITUDES encourages researchers with an approach rigorous in measurement yet attentive to the diversity of perspectives that shape the world we inhabit.EURAU European Research on Architecture and Urbanism is a network of schools and researchers in the field, which meets biannually in a symposium to share their investigations.EURAU's main concern is to establish a platform of debate and discussion of contemporary discourses in Architecture and Urbanism. The 2026 conference will be held at Umeå School of Architecture and has the aim to collect reflections and experiences to promote an active engagement of the universities involved to investigate future possibilities of our field of study.The call for paper and a deeper understanding of the theme will be shared soon on <a href="/link/062c039730ea4def9422829c56012e84.aspx">Umeå School of Architecture's website</a>.��å School of ArchitectureSymposium/en/events/eurau-26-symposium-latitudes_12139443/2026-06-10T15:00:00+02:002026-06-12T19:00:00+02:00/en/events/save-the-date-ufbi-25-years-anniversary-_12142163/Save-the-date: UFBI 25 years anniversary ��å center for Functional Brain Imaging (UFBI) 25 years anniversary on June 16-17 2026.
