Inom lantbrukssektorn – den största arbetsgivaren för Afrikas fattiga – ägs och kontrolleras tillgångar som mark och boskap huvudsakligen av män. Det kan därför tyckas rimligt att många givare, stater och grupper i civilsamhället menar att en omfördelning av markägandet till kvinnor skulle innebära en stor förbättri

Sällan förr har det varit så stort fokus på parlamentets arbete som efter det senaste valet. När tidigare har det exempelvis skrivits så mycket om vem som blir ordförande för de olika utskotten? Men det är bra att Riksdagen uppmärksammas eftersom det är där makten ligger, säger statsvetaren Simon Davidsson som har lagt fram en avhandling om parlamentarism. Simon Davidsson har undersökt parlamentar

När Vetenskapsrådet för snart tre år sedan utlyste bidrag till så kallade excellenscenter beviljades totalt 15 nya satsningar runt om i Sverige. Endast ett av dem hamnade i Lund: "COMMONS – Commonalities in biomembrane and biomolecular interactions".Nu har ett år gått sedan COMMONS invigdes med pompa och ståt ute vid kemiska institutionen. Vad har hänt sedan dess? Hur har centret tagit sig an uppd

LUCSUS researchers spent the last four years collaborating with Indigenous communities in Colombia to document how traditional knowledge can support biocultural diversity and wildlife in the Amazon. The project culminated in a final workshop in February 2026. Global discussions on protecting the Amazon rainforest often focus on carbon storage and forest cover. In a recent study, Torsten Krause and

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

This year's prestigious Segerfalk lecture will be given by Eero Castrén, Research Director at the Neuroscience Centre at the University of Helsinki. In his research on brain plasticity, he has discovered clues about which mechanisms in the brain are affected by antidepressants – and they could explain why these medicines work. Eero Castrén conducts research on brain plasticity and is primarily int

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development.
