Research about Culture and Society

We develop knowledge and perspectives that deal with the conditions of human life and social contexts. Through our research, we are better equipped to interpret and explain the complexities of economics, work, democracy, culture, religion, history, audio-visuality and tourism.

The research of this group looks at both new media, such as social media, web productions and mobile media, as well as traditional forms of media, such as film, newspapers and TV.
Transition, Identity and Civil Society
The research group Transition, Identity and Civil Society was formed in 2011 and involves researchers in Political Science and Sociology at Dalarna University.
Studies of Business and Economic Dynamics
The research group contribute with knowledge about the importance of entrepreneurship, good leadership and institutional conditions for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
