With each day that passes, I become more impressed by this organisation. In the early spring, we came out of the pandemic (well, not completely, but there was at least a loosening of restrictions that were paralysing society) to be met by a new uncertainty, which since then has unsettled us and caused anxiety – Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Just as when the pandemic struck, Lund University showed

...Markus Holdo! You just came back from Italy where you've done fieldwork, tell me, what have you done and how did it go? –  Yes, it was very exciting! I'm gathering material for a study on how people in rural areas think about politics and development.
