  • Dis/Connection Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond 27–28 September 2018 Uppsala University
    Dis/connection Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond 27–28 September 2018 Uppsala University UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DIS/CONNECTION 2018 2 (38) UPPSALA UNIVERSITY DIS/CONNECTION 2018 3 (38) Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to welcome all of you to the symposium Dis / Connection: Conflicts, Activism and Reciprocity Online and Beyond organized by the Cultural Matters Group based here at Department of Sociology, Uppsala University. The goal of this two-day event is to gather researchers, stimulate discussion and scholarly exchange about one of the fundamental aspects of social relationships, namely connection. For over the past two decades or so digital networks became increasingly embedded in the everyday life and subsequently transformed many aspects of social living – from intimate and private relations through collective action to industries and social structures. At the same time, the goal of this event is to tackle the idea and question of disconnection – a multifaceted concept which has gained public and scholarly attention in recent years. As already noted in our call for abstracts, the purpose of this symposium is to stimulate the discussion on the gains, costs and possibilities of ethical life in the culture of hyperconnectivity. The aim is thus also to address both positive and negative aspects of dis/connected living and to better understand how it can possibly give rise to and facilitate social inclusion and meaningful societal exchange. The symposium programme consists of international and local researchers and promises intellectually stimulating time and great opportunity for networking, new partnerships and friendships. This event will take place at Campus Engelska Parken (The English Campus) and the University Main Building (Universitetshuset) and is arranged by the Cultural Matters Group with support from Uppsala Forum on Democracy, Peace and Justice at Uppsala University.

Sweden At the Battle of Helge å the Danish King Canute, who has already conquered England, wins a victory and gains control also of Sweden. It does not last, but it is one of the first major battles in what will become seven centuries of war and peace between Denmark and Sweden. 1164 A.D. Sweden The monk Stefan becomes the first Swedish Archbishop. The ceremony was in Lund, which was then Danish but is now a town in southern Sweden. Stefan was ordained by the Danish archbishop Eskil on 5 August and Pope Alexander III was among the participants. Stefan’s see was in Uppsala. He went to work immediately and one of his letters from 1165 still exists. This is the oldest preserved letter in Sweden. It is written in Latin. 1250 A.D. Sweden Stockholm, Sweden’s capital today is founded by Birger Jarl. 1279 A.D. Sweden In this, or the following, year, King Magnus grants freedom of taxes for those who serve him in his wars as equestrians. This was important step in the development of privileged nobility. 1303 A.D. Sweden The most well-known Swedish saint, Saint Birgitta, is born. Her Order, Ordo Sanctissimi Salvatoris (the Order of the Most Holy Saviour), is approved by a Papal Bull in 1370. 1397 A.D.

  • Uppsala Health Summit Announces Travel Grants For
    Uppsala Health Summit announces travel grants for journalists to participate in the Summit on Healthy Urban Childhoods, 7 – 9 October 2019 Uppsala Health Summit will offer up to four travel grants to journalists to attend the summit 7 - 9 October themed Healthy Urban Childhoods at Uppsala Castle, Sweden. The grant is intended for journalists with a demonstrated interest in the area, and who otherwise would not have the possibility to attend due to unavailability of funds. Last day to apply is 3 May 2019. The theme Healthy Urban Childhoods will focus its dialogues on the dilemmas developing from the need to accommodate growing urban populations, while at the same time ensure that cities grow in a socially and environmentally sustainable way. A city that is healthy for children is healthy for all. But the challenges to provide such urban areas are many. Media plays an important role in driving change today, but too few journalists have the possibilities to build in-depth insights in complex societal challenges. Uppsala Health Summit has therefore decided to offer up to four travel grants, amounting to approximately 10 000 SEK each (approx. 950 EUR), in order to enable journalists to attend this summit on global health and connect with experts and decision makers in the field. Uppsala Health Summit is a yearly international arena for frank and challenging dialogue between 200 personally invited decision-makers, opinion builders and experts on how we can use knowledge from research and innovations for better health and healthcare globally. Each year the Summit focuses on one challenge to health and healthcare.

A descriptionof the tour illustrated by numerous color photographs of theuniversities visited is presented in this report. Both the visitors and their hostsin each country had attended a symposium, held the previous year atOhio State University, on preserving a quality environment forlearning, after which the Europeans had been taken by their Americanhosts on a tour of seven campuses in the United States. Hencethe Europeans were uniquely qualified to reciprocate by organizingmeaningful tours of their own campuses, many but not all of which have afar longer history than any in the United States. The CatholicUniversity of Leuven, Belgium, established in 1425, is theworld's oldest existing Catholic university. Heidelberg University'srecent 600th anniversary celebrates the stability of Germany's oldestuniversity.
