He completed his PhD at the University of Southampton between 2009 and 2012 under the supervision of Prof Neil Wrigley. He investigated the impact of the 2008-09 economic crisis on UK town centres and high streets. He took a role of a Lecturer at the University of Liverpool in 2016 and was appointed Senior Lecturer in 2022. He has led a number of research projects related to retail: 'e-Resilience' project which investigated the vulnerability of British town/retail centres to the impacts of internet sales, delineation of retail sentre boundaries and economic performance of retail centres in Liverpool City Region.SAM.A.323 /https://umu.zoom.us/j/69422859750Seminar/en/events/retail-geography_12139838/2025-10-17T10:15:00+02:002025-10-17T12:00:00+02:00/en/events/inauguration-of-the-annual-celebration-ceremony_12133544/Inauguration of the Annual Celebration CeremonyThe Annual Celebration Ceremony opens with an exhibition of new professors, honorary doctors, award recipients.Fri, 17 Oct 2025 11:00:00 +0200During the opening ceremony, one of the honorary doctors, Marie Lundström, will give a lecture (in Swedish).

Bullshit!Are we talking to AI or just pretending? And does anyone even care?Fri, 17 Oct 2025 12:15:00 +0200<h2>#frAIday hybrid</h2>You can participate via <a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/61519075636">Zoom</a> or join us on site, where the speaker will be present. Welcome! <h2>Abstract</h2>In this #FrAIday talk, Merel Semeijn engages with fictionalist accounts of verbal human-AI interaction. According to these views, although lay users generally believe that AI systems do not (and cannot) produce meaningful utterances—due to their lack of mental states—they still pretend that AI can, when interacting with it. In doing so, users engage in a kind of “mini-fiction,” treating the AI as if it were an agent with beliefs, desires, and intentions.Drawing on research in experimental philosophy, Semeijn argues that fictionalism overestimates what laypeople actually believe about AI. Instead, she introduces the notion of "uncaring users"—people who likely don’t know, and more importantly don’t care, whether AI systems produce meaningful utterances. Nevertheless, they behave as if the systems do. This perspective raises new questions about belief formation in human-AI communication.Galaxen SiriusLecture/en/events/fraiday-botspeech-bullshit_12146113/2025-10-17T12:15:00+02:002025-10-17T13:00:00+02:00/en/events/unfashion-show-2025_12145139/UnFashion Show 2025A choreographed performance by first-year architecture students, exploring how movement can act as a conscious tool of design.Fri, 17 Oct 2025 16:00:00 +0200Umeå School of Architecture invites you to a choreographed performance by first-year architecture students, exploring how movement can act as a conscious tool of design.The Unfashion Show is the outcome of a two-week project within the first-year design studio, where students investigate movement as an intentional act, not as reaction, but as a way of producing world-relations. Through choreography, scoring, and material construction, the body becomes both medium and instrument for spatial design. Architecture here emerges from movement, performance, and collective experimentation.   The process engages choreography as a method for organizing space, scoring as a drawing system to project and compose, and performance as a form of ephemeral architectural production. The outcome is a collective performance where body, movement, and artifact are inseparable, unfolding temporary architectures.For more information, please contact responsible teacher in UMA1, Carla Collevecchio: Carla.collevecchio@91��ý����å School of ArchitectureOther/en/events/unfashion-show-2025_12145139/2025-10-17T16:00:00+02:002025-10-17T17:00:00+02:00/en/events/the-annual-celebration-lectures25_12066788/The Annual Celebration LecturesDuring the morning of 18 October the honorary doctors, professors and scientific award recipients give short lectures.

They cover nearly everyone in many places over the globe in a structured way. But they contain relatively little info. (Auto)biographies are very much richer in info - but selective and less structured. The genre of biographical dictionaries forms a middle road: much information, somewhat standardized, and with an in-between coverage. They are as yet underexplored.I will present some examples of recent studies, zoom in on the example for status attainment of notable Swedish women, and zoom out again on the genre of biographical dictionaries as they exist in many countries. The genre is virtually untapped and a treasure trove for scholars in the humanities and social sciences. To open this treasure trove, we need digital humanities and computational social science methods and collaborators. <div class="epi-contentfragment">Registration Humlab Share Hybrid</div>Humlab / ZoomSeminar/en/events/humlab-share-marco-van-leeuwen_12139544/2025-10-21T13:15:00+02:002025-10-21T14:45:00+02:00/en/events/study-at-umea-university-webinar_12135264/Study at ��å University webinarAre you curious about studying in Sweden?

We formulate two desiderata for a distinctiveness thesis about the harm of death. Several suggestions in the literature, we argue, violate those desiderata. We propose another distinctiveness thesis, which satisfies both desiderata. It appeals to the claim that a dead person has no well-being level.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/johansson-risberg_12137057/2025-10-22T13:15:00+02:002025-10-22T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/the-chemstore-is-turning-50-4_12143311/The ChemStore is turning 50 - join us for celebration!(4)Throughout the week 20-24 October, we invite you to join us on-site at ChemStore during regular opening hours for a special anniversary celebration.Thu, 23 Oct 2025 08:30:00 +0200For 50 years, ChemStore has been an indispensable part of Umeå University's laboratory operations – and we want to celebrate this milestone with you!Throughout week 43 (20-24 October), we invite you to join us on-site during regular opening hours for a special anniversary celebration.Discover the ChemStore behind the scenesTake the opportunity to see how we support research and education – from smart procurement to smooth deliveries.

All interested are welcome to participate. If you want to participate digitally, please contact Mojgan Padyab to receive a meeting link.Pioneering Swedish women on the labour market over the past two centuries (Note: Please do not cite or quote this preliminary version)Over the past two centuries women have gained access to top jobs, in terms of social status. Even if there are still gaps, and persistent ones indeed, between the genders in that respect as well as in earnings, the full gamut of occupations is now open to women. How was this possible? Here we look at notable women in a biographical dictionary – a sort of who’s is who. In this case a Swedish one. We study which women were in the dictionary, which occupations and social status they had, and what determined their social status. This paper tries to cross classic prosopographical research, first sketched by Stone, with the status-attainment of Blau and Duncan as extended by the Wisconsin model. In practice this means we have standardised socio demographic information like in historical vital registers on the respondents (women), their parents, and their spouses if any. The biographical dictionaries also provide information on place of birth, number of siblings, and number of children that also, in principle, can be obtained from (linked) vital registers. They also have information on education to a degree usually only found in detailed census data. Then they cover aspects of social and cultural history which we normally cannot observe systematically, notably having a mentor or being supported by a social movement. This type of source is thus richer than most other historical sources, but it does pertain to a top segment of society – still an important segment including many pioneering women breaking open a male dominated labour market, and without their first inroads the later ones could not have happened. Fatmomakke NBET flor 4 /ZoomSeminar/en/events/pioneering-swedish-women-on-the-labour-market_12143816/2025-10-23T13:00:00+02:002025-10-23T14:00:00+02:00/en/events/jakub-niewisiewicz_12145545/Research seminar in archaeology: Jakub NiewisiewiczThe Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology invites you to a seminar with Jakub Niewisiewicz.Thu, 23 Oct 2025 13:00:00 +0200The Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental archaeology invites you to a seminar with Jakub Niewisiewicz, "Digital Archaeology in High-Latitude Environments: Drone-mounted LiDAR Survey in Umeå’s region".Abstract: This seminar focuses on a drone-mounted LiDAR survey campaign carried out in August 2025. Over a two-week field season in the Umeå region, high-resolution LiDAR data was acquired by drone, generating an exceptionally detailed terrain model of previously under-documented landscapes.These datasets were subsequently processed into digital elevation models (DEMs) and raster products, which served as the foundation for AI-driven detection algorithms designed to identify anomalies potentially corresponding to archaeological features. Deep learning approaches were trained to distinguish anthropogenic structures from natural landforms, thereby improving detection accuracy under dense vegetation and in complex northern terrain.Beyond the discovery of potential new sites, this framework demonstrates how cutting-edge remote sensing and machine learning can reshape archaeological prospection in high-latitude environments.<h3>About the seminar series</h3>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>HUM.H.119Seminar/en/events/jakub-niewisiewicz_12145545/2025-10-23T13:00:00+02:002025-10-23T15:00:00+02:00/en/events/breakfast---a-food-and-meal-summit1024_12092444/Breakfast - a food and meal summitWelcome to Breakfast – a seminar where discussions about food, meals and opportunities for collaboration are at the centre.Fri, 24 Oct 2025 08:00:00 +0200<h3>Are you hungry for conversations about food and meals?</h3>Welcome to Breakfast – a seminar where discussions about food, meals and opportunities for collaboration are at the centre.Guest: Christian Sjöland from AxfoundationTheme: Food of the futureDo you want to participate?

Welcome! <h2>Abstract</h2>Data has become a central resource shaping political economies, extracted through digital infrastructures that operate across borders and often reinforce existing inequalities. This talk examines the fragmented nature of data governance and argues for centering governance on data itself, rather than solely on platforms, algorithms, or industry compliance. Drawing on the concept of data colonialism, it frames current practices as extractive systems that commodify human life. The talk introduces autonomía(s)—collective agencies—as a counter-narrative and praxis for comunalidad, or communal ways of being. By embedding autonomía(s) within participatory assemblies, it reimagines governance as a design process that fosters collective action, critical reflection, and relational frameworks grounded in shared needs rather than market-driven logics.Sirius (Galaxen) or ZOOMLecture/en/events/fraiday-designing-autonomias_12139130/2025-10-24T12:15:00+02:002025-10-24T13:00:00+02:00/en/events/rasmus-oberg-experimental-physics_12135330/Rasmus Öberg, Experimental PhysicsSpotlighting the Killer: Detecting harmful chemical and biological agents using optical spectroscopy.Fri, 24 Oct 2025 13:00:00 +0200Spotlighting the Killer: Detecting harmful chemical and biological agents using optical spectroscopy.Supervisor:Magnus Andersson.Aula Anatomica.Defence of doctoral thesis/en/events/rasmus-oberg-experimental-physics_12135330/2025-10-24T13:00:00+02:002025-10-24T17:00:00+02:00/en/events/film-friday-cathy-kudlick_12144444/Film Friday: Cathy KudlickWith Cathy KudlickFri, 24 Oct 2025 13:15:00 +0200Film Accessibility: Opportunities for Inclusion, Creativity, and OutrageousnessJoin us for a screening of films like you've never seen before--literally!

We also exlpore how hope can be understood not as an emotion, but as a critical strategy: a situated, political and collective tool for imagining and shaping alternative futures.The seminar is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students in design, gender studies, sustainability and critical theory – and to anyone interested in how we can think and create beyond the given.Anna Croon is a senior lecturer (docent) in Informatics, Umeå University.

Advances in generative AI and large language models raise fundamental questions about the nature of AI, its societal impact, and the responsibilities of those who design and deploy it. But AI is not an autonomous force; it is the result of human choices, values, and priorities.This talk argues that responsibility in AI is not a constraint but the foundation of meaningful innovation. Grounded in trust, cooperation, and the common good, a responsible approach helps us move beyond technological determinism toward real societal benefit. Regulation, governance, and ethical design are not barriers but enablers, creating the conditions for sustainable progress, public trust, and genuine differentiation. Acknowledging trade-offs and context in decision-making, I will contend that Responsible AI is not optional; it is the only viable path for AI to support human flourishing.Speaker:<h3>Virginia Dignum</h3>Department of Computing Science, Umeå UniversityBio:Virginia Dignum is Professor of Responsible Artificial Intelligence at Umeå University, Sweden, where she leads the AI Policy Lab.

In a time when higher education is increasingly shaped by demands for digitalization, standardization, and measurable outcomes, there are good reasons to pause and reflect on other dimensions of teaching—those that cannot always be quantified but nonetheless shape the very core of educational quality.At this year’s university pedagogical conference, we aim to create a meeting place for exploring and re-establishing teaching as an art. What happens to the role of the teacher when teaching is reduced too much to mere necessary interactions, technical solutions, and efficiency demands? How can teachers make use of the enthusiastic, relational, and responsive aspects of teaching and thereby create truly meaningful and caring learning opportunities for our students?For this year’s conference, we especially welcome contributions that highlight one or more of the perspectives described above. At the same time, we want to emphasize that contributions addressing teaching and learning from other angles are equally welcome. The core idea of the conference is to gather contributions that, in different ways, enrich the conversation about teaching and learning in higher education.Humanities building, Umea universityConference/en/events/the-university-pedagogy-conference-2025_12106683/2025-11-06T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/ing-marie-back-danielsson_12145552/Research seminar in archaeology: Dr. Ing-Marie Back DanielssonThe Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental Archaeology invites you to a seminar with Dr. Ing-Marie Back Danielsson.Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100The Research Seminar Series in Archaeology and Environmental archaeology invites you to a seminar with Dr. Ing-Marie Back Danielsson, "Evocative Imagery at Whose Expense? Critical Perspectives on Viking Age Mortuary Reconstructions". Abstract: In this presentation I will discuss Viking Age mortuary reconstructions, a genre of archaeological imagery that has gained significant prominence in the last few decades, in both scholarly and popular domains. Drawing upon a number or mortuary reconstructions from the Scandinavian Viking Age, produced since 2000, the study interrogates the emotive, affective, and ethical dimensions of these visualisations. Employing a visual social semiotic framework, it analyses vantage points, colour schemes, bodily representations, and gender codings to demonstrate how artistic decisions intersect with archaeological interpretation. The findings reveal a tendency towards dramatization, sexualisation, and/or sensationalism, particularly in depictions of women, alongside anthropocentric distinctions in portrayals of humans and animals. While claiming naturalistic realism, these images frequently obscure evidential uncertainties, thereby consolidating extreme and exceptional cases as normative representations of Viking Age mortuary practices. Arguments are presented for increased transparency, ethical reflexivity, and peer review in the production of mortuary reconstructions, contending that such images constitute ethically consequential acts that shape post-mortem dignity and contemporary engagements with the Viking past.<h3>About the seminar series</h3>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>HUM.J.118Seminar/en/events/ing-marie-back-danielsson_12145552/2025-11-06T13:00:00+01:002025-11-06T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/medchem-seminar-series----annalisa-pastore_12140924/Medchem Seminar Series - Annalisa PastoreTitle: "From aptamer in silico design to disease mechanism: the example of TDP-43"Thu, 06 Nov 2025 15:15:00 +0100Speaker:<h3>Annalisa Pastore</h3>King’s College London, UKTitle:<h3>From aptamer in silico design to disease mechanism: the example of TDP-43 </h3>Host: Nicolò Maccaferri (UCMR) KB.E3.01 (Lilla hörsalen), KBCSeminar/en/events/medchem-seminar-series----annalisa-pastore_12140924/2025-11-06T15:15:00+01:002025-11-06T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/sofia-svahn--clinical-pharmacology_12142831/Sofia Svahn – Clinical PharmacologyCARDIOVASCULAR DRUG TREATMENT AND AN INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE DRUG TREATMENT AMONG OLDER PEOPLEFri, 07 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Sofia Svahn, Departmen of Medical and Translational Biology, defends her doctoral thesis CARDIOVASCULAR DRUG TREATMENT AND AN INTERVENTION TO IMPROVE DRUG TREATMENT AMONG OLDER PEOPLE. Principal supervisor Maria Gustafsson. Aula AnatomicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/sofia-svahn--clinical-pharmacology_12142831/2025-11-07T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-abdul-kareem-valiya-kadavu_12145631/UPSC Seminar with Abdul Kareem Valiya KadavuScientific seminar arranged by ��å Plant Science CentreFri, 07 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100UPSC SeminarSpeaker: Abdul Kareem Valiya KadavuDepartment of Plant Biology, Linnean Center for Plant Biology, SLU, Uppsala, SwedenTitle: How plants regenerate: Molecular mechanisms, fate decisions, and lessons for plant development Contact: Ove Nilsson"Stora hörsalen" (Big lecture hall), KB.E3.03, KBC buildingSeminar/en/events/upsc-seminar-with-abdul-kareem-valiya-kadavu_12145631/2025-11-07T09:00:00+01:002025-11-07T10:00:00+01:00/en/events/new-perspectives-on-sustainable-health_12146638/New Perspectives on Sustainable HealthWelcome to join a webinar in the SHIP Dialogue Series: “New Perspectives on Sustainable Health.” Fri, 07 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0100Join us for a dialogue on how One Health can help tackle complex global challenges and contribute to a more sustainable future.Did you know that disruption of natural ecosystems has been linked to most emerging infectious diseases in humans?

Students begin their studies on-site in Umeå during the first term, and continue in Vaasa during the second term, earning a double degree upon graduation.The programme is taught entirely in English and combines science-based decision-making with real-world casework. Students will engage in experiential learning projects, tackling actual financial and non-financial reporting challenges faced by organizations today. This unique approach ensures that graduates leave with both a strong academic foundation and practical, job-ready skills.OnlineSeminar/en/events/sustainability-reporting-and-financial-analysis_12144227/2025-11-17T16:00:00+01:002025-11-17T17:00:00+01:00/en/events/humlab-makerspace-your-first-hobby-project-with-microcontrollers_12122458/Humlab Makerspace: Your first hobby project with microcontrollersWould you like to try electronics and microcontrollers as an interesting hobby?Tue, 18 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100Would you like to try electronics and microcontrollers as an interesting hobby?<a href="/link/b92b8fe9048e45e998fb335d72136a25.aspx?epslanguage=sv">Read more and register</a> through the Swedish event page.Humlab MakerspaceWorkshop/en/events/humlab-makerspace-your-first-hobby-project-with-microcontrollers_12122458/2025-11-18T13:00:00+01:002025-11-20T15:00:00+01:00/en/events/study-at-umea-university-webinar_12135294/Study at ��å University webinarAre you curious about studying in Sweden?

While fan studies scholars have emphasized the participatory and community-driven nature of fanfiction from the beginning, this dimension has yet to be fully integrated into computational literary studies. In the talk, I propose network analysis to prestructure fanfiction data from the platform Fanfiktion.de. This enables to focus further explorations on platform-based interpretive communities, allowing to trace literary meaning-making from within. In addition, I will discuss fan-oriented strategies of data collection that respect the participatory ethos of the field.Humllab / ZoomLecture/en/events/humlab-talk-anastasia-glawion_12143398/2025-11-19T13:15:00+01:002025-11-19T14:45:00+01:00/en/events/eva-rodriguez-marquez--cell-biology_12142833/Eva Rodríguez Márquez – Cell BiologyTumour progression and photodynamic therapy in a zebrafish model of rhabdomyosarcoma.Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Eva Rodríguez Márquez, Department of Medical and Translational Biology, defends her doctoral thesis Tumour progression and photodynamic therapy in a zebrafish model of rhabdomyosarcoma. Principal supervisor Jonas von Hofsten.Aula BiologicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/eva-rodriguez-marquez--cell-biology_12142833/2025-11-20T09:00:00+01:002025-11-20T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/taiga-days-ai-power--the-good-of-all_12127114/TAIGA Days: AI, Power & the Good of AllA two-day symposium on how AI can empower organizations, shape the region, and foster transdisciplinary AI research for the good of all.

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.Read more: <a href="/link/863e7bfd91f0487d9892502ef51224ee.aspx">Dealing with the polycrisis - UTRI conference 2025</a><div class="epi-contentfragment">Polykris - bild</div>VardagsrummetConference/en/events/dealing-with-the-polycrisis_12068499/2025-11-27T08:00:00+01:002025-11-27T16:30:00+01:00/en/events/maria-olson_12145600/HESSD-seminar: Maria OlsonThe HESSD seminar series ideas invites you to a seminar with Maria Olson, Stockholm University.Thu, 27 Nov 2025 10:15:00 +0100The HESSD seminar series ideas invites you to a seminar with Maria Olson, Stockholm University.

The Classes of Death Socio-economic mortality differentials in Swedish cities during the harvest failure of 1771-72This thesis explores the possibility of a socio-economic gradient in mortality during short-term economic stress in pre-industrial Swedish cities using the harvest failure in 1771-72 as an example of economic fluctuations/high prices. Using newly transcribed data in a logit model, the study finds results indicating that the poor and individuals in occupations categorized as “service and agriculture”, for example maids and guards, faced a higher risk of mortality during short-term economic stress than individuals with higher status, relative to the difference in risk between the groups during the base period 1768-70. The poor, being the most vulnerable, faced the highest relative risk in the year of high prices. For those in service and agriculture the response was delayed, reaching its highest value in the year after a year of high prices. Differences in timing likely represent effects of malnutrition and supports the hypotheses of a discriminatory mortality response.Fatmomakke NBET floor 4 / ZoomSeminar/en/events/cedar-seminar-novemer-27_12146451/2025-11-27T13:00:00+01:002025-11-27T14:00:00+01:00/en/events/go-abroad-fair---utrecht-nl_12145052/Go-Abroad Fair - Utrecht, NLVisit ��å University at the the Go-Abroad Fair and discover what ��å University has to offer.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Join us at the Go-Abroad Fair in Utrecht, NL on 28–29 November and discover our English-taught bachelor's and master's programmes!Location: Jaarbeurs Utrecht (Hall 7 & 8)                      Jaarbeursplein, 3521 AL Utrecht Dates: 28 & 29 November 9:00-16:00 Sign Up for free: <a title="https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours" href="https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours">https://www.buitenlandbeurs.nl/en/the-exhibition/location-opening-hours</a>Whether you're looking for a world-class education, innovative research opportunities, or a vibrant student life in northern Sweden — Umeå University has something for you.<ul><li>Internationally recognized degrees</li><li>Over 45 degree programmes taught in English</li><li>Friendly, inclusive campus</li><li>Unique Arctic lifestyle experience</li></ul>Come meet our team, ask questions, and find out how you can start your journey in Sweden!Jaarbeurs Utrecht (Hall 7 & 8) Jaarbeursplein, 3521 AL UtrechtOther/en/events/go-abroad-fair---utrecht-nl_12145052/2025-11-28T09:00:00+01:002025-11-28T16:00:00+01:00/en/events/maria-brannholm-syrjala---family-medicine_12135869/Maria Brännholm Syrjälä - Family MedicineSedentary behaviour and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiological insights and an mHealth intervention.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 09:00:00 +0100Maria Brännholm Syrjälä, Department of public health and clinical medicine, defends her doctoral thesis Sedentary behaviour and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiological insights and an mHealth intervention.External reviewer: Associate Professor Fredrik Iredahl, Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences (HMV), Linköping University.Prinicipal supervisor: Patrik Wennberg.The defense will be held in Swedish.It will be possible to follow via Zoom: <a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/64074673385" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Link to Zoom meeting</a> (code 508201)The assembly hall, Sunderby HospitalDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/maria-brannholm-syrjala---family-medicine_12135869/2025-11-28T09:00:00+01:002025-11-28T13:00:00+01:00/en/events/gabriel-simander--neurosurgery_12099838/Gabriel Simander – NeurosurgeryIntrasellar pressure in patients with pituitary tumor -association with visual and endocrine function, complications and prognosis after surgery.Fri, 28 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0100Gabriel Simander, Department of Clinical Sciences, defends his doctoral thesis Intrasellar pressure in patients with pituitary tumor -association with visual and endocrine function, complications and prognosis after surgery.

Thinking with onto-cartography in design researchAnja Neidhardt-Mokoena, HumlabIn design research there is a growing understanding that major parts of our discipline are involved with systems of oppression. In such discourse, design is often described as “entangled with systems of oppression” or “haunted by patriarchy”. But, what exactly does that mean? In this presentation, Anja Neidhardt-Mokoena introduces how thinking with onto-cartography, combined with a feminist approach, can support us in understanding more precisely how certain design institutions (such as design museums) reproduce systems of oppression. This is not only crucial for making sense of the current situation (in and beyond the design discipline), but also for identifying points of leverage where we can intervene and bring about positive change. The presentation is based on Anja’s PhD thesis Feminist Design Strategies for Transforming Design Museums Towards More Justice (2024, at Umeå Institute of Design and Umeå Centre for Gender Studies). <div class="epi-contentfragment">Registration Humlab Talk hybrid</div>Humlab / ZoomLecture/en/events/humlab-talk-anja-neidhardt-mokoena-_12142856/2025-12-04T13:15:00+01:002025-12-04T14:45:00+01:00/en/events/adam-rosenbaum---oncology_12138884/Adam Rosenbaum - OncologyAdam Rosenbaum, Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, defends his thesis in oncology.Fri, 05 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0100Adam Rosenbaum, Department of Diagnostics and Intervention, defends his thesis with the title: Germline Genetic Predisposition for GliomaExternal reviewer: Professor Ruthild G Weber, Institute for Human Genetics, Hannover Medical School, GermanyPrincipal supervisor: Anna Dahlin<a href="https://umu.zoom.us/j/68225022288?pwd=uSf70aWbgvaIosvhe4J5n9djqwSFFB.1">Join on Zoom</a> Stora Hörsalen i 5BDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/adam-rosenbaum---oncology_12138884/2025-12-05T09:00:00+01:002025-12-05T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/stina-kallerhult-hermansson--nursing_12144183/Stina Kallerhult Hermansson – NursingBeing and becoming a mentor: Personal and professional growth in a Swedish Norwegian multicenter nurse mentorship interventionFri, 05 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0100Stina Kallerhult Hermansson, Department of Nursing, defends her doctoral thesis Being and becoming a mentor: Personal and professional growth in a Swedish Norwegian multicenter nurse mentorship intervention. Principal supervisor Karin Bölenius.Aula BiologicaDefence of doctoral thesis/en/events/stina-kallerhult-hermansson--nursing_12144183/2025-12-05T09:00:00+01:002025-12-05T12:00:00+01:00/en/events/arctic-connect-dec-25_12144497/Arctic Connect dec25Strengthen your Arctic connections at Arctic Connect!

In part this resistance to environmental stress stems from the SigB-regulated general stress response (GSR). The SigB regulon comprises around 300 genes whose functions contribute to critical homeostatic and protective functions. While the GSR plays a pivotal role in surviving under harsh conditions we have found that there is a significant cost to deploying it and in several conditions we see the emergence of mutations that negatively affect the GSR. In this seminar I will present these data and discuss the implications for the evolution of this pathogen.Find your way: Regarding the lecture hall 5B P6 Stora hörsalen, it is located in the hospital premises.

KeenanQueer Play (And Its Haters) Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:30:00 +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.

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.
