Tell us, why Tunisia? As a PhD student in political science with a focus on comparative politics in the Middle East, I investigate feminist activism and gender politics in the Middle East and North Africa, with a particular focus on Tunisia, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

It is a catalyst that will modernise the Faculty of Science, both at Brunnshög and Sölvegatan. Dean Sven Lidin may have become “nearsighted, flabby and middle-aged” during his ten years in symbiosis with Science Village, but his future visions are more vital than ever. It is one of those pale September mornings when there is one online meeting after another. But a few minutes after 11:00, the dean

In mid-January, protesters and police clashed in the village of Lützerath in Germany after the village was occupied for a long time in an attempt to prevent the extension of a large open-pit coal mine that will swallow the village.

It is not every day that the inauguration of a toilet draws a hundred spectators. Such a toilet would have to be pretty special – and this one is. It is special because it is flushed using rain water gathered from the roof of Kemicentrum. LUM was able to follow the rainwater’s journey from parapet to porcelain. An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a
