Subject: Fourth International Graduate Summer School and Forum at Lund
University, Campus Helsingborg, Sweden, June 7-20, 2008
>I have been involved with this on a number of previous occasions. It is
> a very international environment with English as a lingua franca and
> Helsingborg in June is a pretty little town with long days and generally
> warm weather. The following outline is from the summer school website.
>
> "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.
>
> In addition there will be one Public Debate on "The Future of the
> Media".
>
> Papers in progress will be presented during afternoons, as well as
> supervised work on papers and dissertations.
>
> A number of social events and activities will be offered, beginning the
> weekend before the courses start and continuing throughout the two
> weeks."
