Doctoral courses

Aim

The course gives graduate students the opportunity to develop their ability to communicate research results to different target groups outside of academia. Emphasis is placed on the use of the rhetorical process to analyse, plan and implement different types of communication.

The course focusses on oral research communication, but students are expected to actively use different communication methods, not only spoken but communication through writing, listening and reading.

A message of admission will be sent approximately six weeks before the course starts.

Aim

The purpose of the course is for the doctoral student to broaden and deepen their understanding of cultural awareness and promote attitudinal flexibility, in order to critically appraise research and the research process in health and social sciences.

The course consists of international research webinars and a research practicum component, which provides students opportunities to integrate theory about cultural awareness into their research. This is an international course and is run in collaboration with Polytechnic University in Hongkong, La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia and National University in Galway Ireland.

Aim

The aim of the course is to provide knowledge about, as well as tools for analyzing, defining, and using, concepts such as health, disease, illness, and quality of life, that is, key concepts in the research area ”health and society”. Other related notions, for example, dysfunction, well-being, happiness, work ability, and empowerment, will also be discussed and critically scrutinized. All these concepts and their uses will be connected to the various research interests of the participating doctoral students.

This course aims to provide students with basic knowledge of the small-angle scattering technique, design of experiments and the analysis of data with an emphasis on biological structure.

After completing the course, the student should:

• Have an understanding of the small-angle scattering technique particularly from the perspective of experiment design.
• Understand the Fourier relationship between real space structure and small-angle scattering data and complementarity between the two experimental perspectives.
• Have the ability to extract structural information from the well-designed small-angle scattering experiment.
• Understand the application of contrast variation and molecular deuteration to enhance the information content of small-angle scattering experiments.

The first edition of this course took place in the fall of 2019. The next course is expected for the fall of 2021.

Aim

What counts as research practice and how to frame Practice Based Research are of prime importance in disciplines where aspects of making exist alongside theoretical research at an advanced scientific level. This course activates a critical exploration of research practices that are part of a researcher’s scholarly activities (“Practices that Question”) and contributes to the critique and development of such practices (“Practices in Question”). This course is designed for doctoral students from a range of disciplines but is particularly intended to support research in humanities/social sciences, media and communications, design, arts, and performance. The goal is to support students to deepen, critique and expand the methodologies used in their research processes.

K3 offers doctoral students in Media and Communication Studies science the course Contemporary Debates in Media and Communications Theory which is given in collaboration with Södertörn University, Örebro University and Karlstad University. Apply for the course via Karlstad University. The course will be run next time in 2023.

Aim

This course aims to introduce how and why the didactics of science and mathematics have emerged as research fields and what separates and unites the research fields, as well as to describe and problematizekey concepts, theoretical frameworks,and methodologies that have dominated during different periods. The purpose is also to describe and problematizethe fields of knowledge by providing a sociological and historical orientation in the fields in the form of organisations, journals,and conferences. This orientationisbased ona larger educational policy context. Didactics will be elucidated from a broad perspective, science education (research)andmathematics education (research).

Aim

The aim of the course is to study and analyze how natural science and technology, popularly referred to as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and gender are constructed and learn the established interdependences. A further aim is to explore specific examples pertaining to the gendered history of STEM in order to analyze and understand current practices in research and development across multiple fields. Using historical, sociological, cultural, sustainable, and philosophical aspects of the shaping of STEM, participants are challenged to look at their own role as researchers and the current paradigm in STEM.
