Annual Report 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 DEPARTMENT OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND GLOBAL HEALTH Annual Report 2018 DEPARTMENT OF EPIDEMIOLOGY AND GLOBAL HEALTH Umeå International School of Public Health (UISPH) Umeå Centre for Global Health Research (UCGHR) Printed by Cityprint i Norr AB, Umeå, Sweden 2019 Prologue To all staff, students, collaborators and other colleagues, The year 2018 will be remembered as one of change and ongoing commitment! After more than three decades in our “old” house we moved to a new location. This was a big step to take and much of the hard work was done by our “Moving Group” to ensure as smooth a process as possible. In April we closed the doors of the old house and have since settled and started to feel at home in our new building. During the year we also paved the way to become a department in our own right, after previously being a unit and part of the larger department of Public Health and Clinical Medicine. In December the decision was taken by the University Board to form the Department of Epidemiology and Global Health from 1st of January 2019: “This change aims to create an interdisciplinary research and educational environment that contributes to a global and sustainable improvement regarding health and welfare.” We will continue to strengthen our activities involving collaboration in both teaching and research. We are located in the Region of Västerbotten and the wealth of experience and creative collaboration within the Region connects us to international collaborations around the world. Public health is based on the principles of equity, social justice, participation, and evidence-informed practice. These principles and values remain the same although context and opportunities differ. We are in a privileged position because we act as a catalyst for the exchange of ideas and provide a meeting place for diverse groups of students, researchers and practitioners. In October we hosted Dr Tedros, the current Director-General of the World Health Organization on the occasion of his being awarded an honorary doctorate of medicine at Umeå University. During his visit he met with students and staff and inspired us with his clear message: “Health is not a luxury for those who can afford it. It is a human right...” and urged us to “continue to shape young researchers who will become a force for a healthier, safer, fairer world." This resonates with our vision and should guide us in our daily work. In this report you will be able to read more about us and get a taste of the work we do together with students and collaborators from near and afar. Special thanks to Lena Mustonen who as usual has had a core role, this year with the creative support of Jennifer Stewart Williams. Thank you all for your contributions over the year. We very much look forward to working together in the years to come!

Lots of laughs and interesting discussions during the party. We finally got to move to our new house! It is often said that moving house is one of Moving Group - Karin Johansson, Ulrika the most stressful things that you can do in Harju, Kristina Lindvall, Ida Linander, life – so it’s no surprise that moving office Jonas Hansson and Klas-Göran Sahlén - we can be a challenging process.

    Geographica 14 Chiara Valli Pushing borders Cultural workers in the restructuring of post-industrial cities Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Hörsal 2, Ekonomikum, Kirkogårdsgatan 10, Uppsala, Friday, 19 May 2017 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Doctor Sara Gonzalez (School of Geography, Leeds University). Abstract Valli, C. 2017. Pushing borders. Cultural workers in the restructuring of post-industrial cities. Geographica 14. 153 pp. Uppsala: Department of Social and Economic Geography. ISBN 978-91-506-2631-5. This research explores the agency and positioning of cultural workers in the restructuring of contemporary cities. This positioning is ambiguous. Cultural workers often lead precarious professional lives, yet their significant symbolic and cultural capital is widely mobilised in the service of neoliberal urban restructuring, including ‘creative city’ flagship developments and gentrification. But cultural workers’ actual agency, their reactions to urban processes that exploit their presence, and their relations to other urban social groups, are poorly understood and hard to decipher. This thesis addresses these issues through three articles. Paper I examines a process of artist-led gentrification ongoing in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York. It shows that artists, gallerists and other members of the local art scene contribute to sustaining gentrification through their everyday practices and discourses. The gentrification frontier is constructed on an everyday level as a transitional space and time in the scene members’ lives. Gentrification is de-politicised by discursively underplaying its conflictual components of class and racial struggle. Forms of resistance to gentrification amongst scene members are found, but they appear to be sector-specific and exclusive.

Tut- kimuskysymyksenä on, millainen otsikko vetää silmäileviä ja sivustolta toiseen pomppivia verkkolukijoita puoleensa. Tutkielmassa tarkistellaan viiden suurimman suomalaisen verkkomedian runsaasti luettuja verkko-otsikoita muun muassa niiden informatiivisuuden, objektiivisuuden sekä kieliopillis- ten ominaisuuksien avulla. Lisäksi vetäviä verkko-otsikoita lähestytään käytännön näkökulmasta otsikoita tekevien toi- mittajien haastattelujen avulla. Opinnäytetyöni valossa näyttää siltä, että helmikuussa 2018 verkko-otsikossa toimi kuvai- leva, rönsyileväkin kieli, jossa yksityiskohdat ja osin sisällön paljastava ilmaisutyyli houkut- televat lukijan klikkaamaan otsikkoa.
