Welcome to the Fourth International Graduate Summer School and Forum at Lund University, Campus Helsingborg, Sweden, June 7-20, 2008. During the last few years universities and research institutions all over the world have changed considerably.
Inside the institutions themselves, the traditional structures have changed, partly as a result of developments in the various sciences, especially the various branches of biology, but also as a result of changing external needs.
The overall aim of the earlier International Graduate Summer Schools at Lund University, Campus Helsingborg has been to contribute to a comprehensive critical discussion of this development. Ideas for desirable research strategies and adequate methodologies for the various sciences and the humanities have been presented and discussed; and the impact of the sciences and research on society at large, incl. the values and principles that are fundamental for maintaining an Open Society, has been thoroughly scrutinized.
From 2008 and on we will broaden the perspective to the global social, economic and political situation and use the notions of “Openness” and “Sustainability” as our overall guiding and evaluative reference points.
The courses, discussions, workshops and the public debates offered will thus, in various ways, focus on important aspects of these notions.
The three courses by profs. Steve Fuller, Joni Seager and Jeremy Shearmur will set the agenda for the discussion.
The courses will take place every morning Monday-Friday during the entire two weeks and will be followed by discussion groups and workshops.
Papers in progress will be presented during afternoons, as well as supervised work on papers and dissertations.
In
addition, there will be a Public debate on "The Future of the Media" and another on "Sustainable Urban Planning" (see "Schedule").
A number of social events and activities will be offered, beginning the weekend before the courses start and continuing throughout the two weeks.
Participants who are unable to participate for the entire two weeks and/or would like to “sit in” on a few of the lectures and discussions are welcome to do so. Everyone is also welcome to submit papers in progress for discussion.
The School is organized and hosted by Lund University, Campus Helsingborg, Sweden in
cooperation with the City of Helsingborg, The Faculty of Environmental
Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada and The Faculty of the Social
Sciences, Ljubliana University, Slovenia; and profs Steve Fuller, Warwick University, England, Joni Seager, Hunter College, CUNY, USA and Jeremy Shearmur, Australian National University, Australia.
