Den som själv är aktiv lär sig mer än den som bara lyssnar på andra. Därför jobbar jag mycket med tvärgrupper på olika sätt i min undervisning. Grundidén är att alla studenter ska få möjlighet att prata mycket samtidigt som de blir motiverade att själva ta ansvar för samtalet och därmed för sitt eget lärande.

Wobbling and laughing, a few of the girls glide over the ice. They are holding hands in a chain. If one falls, they all go down. They are thirteen recently arrived girls and five volunteers in the Save the Children project, Girl to Girl, who are meeting on a Sunday at the ice rink in Lund. One of the volunteers is studying Human Rights as an activity for the Certificate of International Merits (CI

David Gisselsson Nord and Tony Ingesson both love spy novels and have a nerdy interest in history. Their shared curiosity resulted in an interdisciplinary collaboration about how it might be possible to inspire smarter cancer treatment with the help of methods from espionage and intelligence analysis. Tony Ingesson finds it fairly easy to show a bit of attitude in front of the camera. David Gissel

Ny teknik kan underlätta äldre personers aktivitet, men då måste de involveras i teknikutvecklingen. Det framgår i en ny avhandling av William Son Galanza, SWEAH-doktorand i forskargruppen Tillämpad gerontologi i Lund, som har tagit fram en AI-modell som kan kategorisera äldres vardagsaktiviteter. Den äldre befolkningen växer och teknikanvändningen ökar. – Teknik bidrar till bättre livskvalitet om

Ett innovativt pantsystem för matförpackningar. Det är en bättre och mer omfattande åtgärd än den omtvistade plastpåseskatten som kan komma att tas bort eller reduceras vid årsskiftet. Det menar statsvetaren Karl Holmberg som anser att skatten bör behållas – men då utökas till att omfatta alla typer av engångspåsar.  Regeringen har i vårbudgeten förslagit att remittera frågan om att avskaffa eller
