Coordinates: 59°51′0.70″N 17°35′32″E Flogsta From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Flogsta is a neighbourhood in the west part of the Swedish city of Uppsala. Most of its inhabitants are students attending Uppsala University or the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Location Flogsta as seen from the west The neighbourhood is located approximately 2.8 kilometres (about 4 km by road) west of the Uppsala city centre. There are bus connections and bicycle tracks connecting Flogsta to different parts of the town.[1] To the Uppsala University main building, the University Hospital, the Ekonomikum and the Biomedical Centre, the distance is between 2.2 and 2.7 km, while the distance to SLU exceeds 6 km.[1] The Flogsta scream Every evening at approximately 10 p.m., the "Flogsta scream" (Flogstavrålet in Swedish) may be heard, when students individually or collectively let out screams and howls from windows, balconies and roof tops.[2] According to Uppsala University, the collective Night shot from the roof of 8, screaming acts as "a much needed safety valve" and "a cry of angst" for students stressed by the demands of university life.[3] Sernanders väg The phenomenon has spread to other university towns and campuses in Sweden, such as Lund, Linköping and the Lappkärrsberget student residence area in Stockholm.[2] References 1.

In the background to these much covered news stories, the Syrian war continued and an increasing amount of people around the world are forced to leave their homes. Records in temperature and moisture globally, and minimum lows for the Arctic and Antarctic ice-cover, showed the world that human-induced climate change is not slowing down. The need for universities and places like CEMUS in the world is even greater now than it was at the start of 2016 when we wrote our last report. It befits us to be the critical voices that ask the difficult questions and challenge demands to make universities into political tools for a certain agenda. We must question post-factual, alternative facts claims, but still not remain on an intellectual pedestal, where the educated are pitted against the non-educated masses.

International Phd Students' Experiences in Uppsala
ISSN 1653-2244 INSTITUTIONEN FÖR KULTURANTROPOLOGI OCH ETNOLOGI DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY Between Dark Days and Light Nights: International PhD Students’ Experiences in Uppsala By Stefanie Mallow 2017 MASTERUPPSATSER I KULTURANTROPOLOGI Nr 69 Abstract Analysing what it means being neither immigrant nor tourist in a foreign country, this thesis looks at the experiences of international PhD students and their supervisors in the Swedish university town Uppsala. The Faculty of Science and Technology of Uppsala University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) are the universities studied. Based on anthropological methods, this thesis focuses on the individual actors as they attempt to match the objective of doing a PhD while at the same time being in a different country. Using practice theory, the study highlights that the experiences of international PhD students and the people working with them vary greatly from PhD student to PhD student. Yet, almost all undergo a certain form of self-formation and adjustment process to match the requirements of not only their host country, but also the international field of science they attempt to enter. Being connected to other people in similar situations can help them adapt to this new environment, and many international PhD students join communities of practice. I argue that most develop an internationally recognised habitus, which helps them being recognised by the international community. The habitus can further, under certain circumstances, become partially conscious. KEY WORDS: International PhD Students, Supervisors, Higher Education, Practice Theory, Sweden, Anthropology, Mobility [email protected] ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank all of my informants: without their time, their trust in me, and their stories – the good ones as well as the bad ones – this thesis would not have been possible.

Department of Informatics and Media Impacts of Strategic Communication
Department of Informatics and Media Master Program in Social Sciences, specialization in Digital Media and Society Two-Year Master’s Thesis Impacts of strategic communication practices on local-level employees Heimstaden Flogsta: a case study. September 2019 Student: Alberto Sobejano Supervisor: Daniel Lövgren 2 Abstract Over the last three years, Heimstaden, a real-estate company based in Sweden, has gone through a complex process of redefinition of its identity, defining values and principles. This process is especially delicate in one of the neighborhoods managed by the company, Flogsta, where Heimstaden owns and administrates 2014 student apartments. In the context of this identity definition process, this study analyzes the communication strategies and the organizational identity transmission practices within the company, focusing on the local-level employees’ understanding and experience of Heimstaden’s identity and strategies. From a theoretical standpoint, the research parts from Hallahan, Holtzhausen, van Ruler, Verčič and Sriramesh´s (2007) initial ideas on strategic communication, and implements van Ruler´s (2018) approach to the role that communication plays within strategic communication, as well as to the dichotomy between one-way vs two-way strategies of communication. The analysis also incorporates Schinoff, Corley and Roger’s (2016) views of organizational identity. The research consists of 6 semi-structured interviews with Heimstaden employees. In addition to that, participant observations were also carried out daily over a period of 5 months, due to my position as a Heimstaden employee stationed in Uppsala. The findings of the study reveal that many of the one-way communication strategies currently in use within Heimstaden, are failing at making the local-level employees aware and participant of the company’s identity and changes.
