Faculty of Culture and Society
Culture and Society
At the Faculty of Culture and Society, research and education concerns many of the major issues of our time – for example those dealing with global politics, new media and sustainable urban development – from humanistic, social science, and design science perspectives.
The faculty is a creative, evolving and cross-border academic environment characterised by a high degree of internationalisation and collaboration with others, both inside and outside the academy. We are located in the centre of Malmö, but our perspectives cover the whole world. We are organised into three departments: Urban Studies, Global Political Studies and the School of Arts and Communication.
Objective for academic environments
The Faculty of Culture and Society has, as tasked by the Vice-Chancellor, during the academic year 2022/2023 developed an agenda for coherent and boundary-crossing academic environments, including an objective and strategic priorities for the next three years.
KS agenda for coherent and boundary-crossing academic environments
Objective 2026
The main objective is that by 2026, KS will be home to eight coherent and boundary-crossing academic environments (see descriptions below) — that is, areas where the faculty conducts high-quality research, education at all levels and collaboration, both nationally and internationally.
- Three of these academic environments will primarily be based in the School of Arts and Communication (K3)
- Three in the Department of Urban Studies (US)
- Two in the Department of Global Policy Studies (GPS)
The academic environments transcend both departmental and faculty boundaries and include collaboration partners from academia and beyond, in Sweden and other countries. It is also important to emphasise that the objective is contingent on the possibility of employees being part of multiple environments, and that the environments are intrinsically cross-disciplinary.
The images only visualise the contact areas of the environments within Malmö University.
