The last couple of weeks have been filled with exciting and important events and news related to KS and what we do, as well as horrible and tragic news reaching us from different parts of the world. Our times are hard and challenging in many ways, and now more than ever it is important for us to continue the work we do and remember to respect each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing this newsletter, I have just come back from our seminar on Humanities that KS Malm\u00f6 University arranged together with HumTank, Lund University and Vetenskap & Allm\u00e4nhet (Nov 15). We had the opportunity to take part of important knowledge on what the public think about humanities (most of them have either low trust in humanities and research from humanities, or have no opinion at all) and also discuss why we have this rather challenging situation and what we can do to change it. There were many good suggestions and food for thought, and since it was filmed everybody will be able to watch it, but what I want to stress is that we need to continue to make visible 1) that what we do is valuable for our societies in many ways which also means that we need to be part of many different rooms and use different languages and genres to talk about what we do \u2013 not least that we are important for the STEM strategies; 2) that it is important for us not to separate collaboration and dissemination from our research and teaching, but that we continue to see that they are all connected and part of the same process; 3) that it is not only academia that have become more \u201cprofessionalized\u201d in the last 20 years, but also all other spheres, which also means that there are not as many people who have one foot in different spheres anymore and that can function as mediators. (If you are interested in the reports made by Humtank<\/a> and Vetenskap & allm\u00e4nhet<\/a>, just visit their websites.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday (November 14) we had KS verksamhetsdialog with the Vice Chancellor where the focus was on planning and a sustainable economy. It was a really constructive and positive dialogue where Kerstin Tham underlined that what we are doing at KS has high quality, not only in relation to our research and education, but also when it comes to how we organize ourselves and how we use our resources. The fact that we have high quality in our program and courses, that we now have a new doctoral subject (Organisation Studies), that so many students apply to our courses and programs, that we apply for and also have been very successful in external funding (congratulations!), that we are doing research and also publish, (do not forget to register in Diva \u2013 since your publications also is important for our funding) collaborate and innovate in different forms are also related to the fact that we do these things together, that we have a clear Agenda and work strategically and systematically. So be proud of what you do!<\/strong> Keep up the good work and continue to recognize, respect and help each other! And do not forget to celebrate and also to take a break!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also of course talked about the challenging times that we are part of right now and how it is even more important to think about how we use our resources, at the same time that it is also more difficult than ever to plan .The discussion related to finances continued in the afternoon yesterday, since our Chief Financial Officer at Malm\u00f6 university, Ingrid Bengtsson-Rijavec, was a guest at Fakultetsstyrelsen. We were very happy to have her as a guest and hope to make this a yearly standing invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next week Malm\u00f6 university is part of F\u00f6rbjuden kulturvecka organized by Malm\u00f6 stad. Vice Chancellor Kerstin Tham and adjungerad professor I konst Maria Lantz, K3, will be part of a panel together with Henric H\u00f6ijer talking about academic freedom and artistic freedom moderated by Lars Mogensen. Most welcome! https:\/\/mau.se\/kalender\/forbjuden-kultur\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
