Sustainability researcher Tullia Jack has interviewed people living alone about why they do so. A common thread among many of them was that living alone had not been an active choice. "Many of the people I interviewed would have liked to live with someone else. Ideally a romantic partner, but also friends or in a shared house. Living alone was simply something that had happened,” says Tullia Jack.

Many organisations want to adopt a user-centred approach, but a new doctoral thesis shows that success is elusive when conflicting demands and a lack of organisational support throw a spanner in the works. Today, there is considerable pressure on organisations to work in a user-centred way. There is talk of use

Care labels on clothes are no longer enough to help consumers keep their garments in use for longer. New research shows that the clothing retail sector needs to take greater responsibility for making it easier to care for, repair and keep garments in use. Researchers involved in the CARE project share their advice. Extending the lifespan of clothes is not just about buying second-hand or reselling

Can seaweed become an ordinary part of the Swedish diet? In a new doctoral thesis, Annabell Merkel explores how a novel resource such as seaweed gradually can become recognised as food, or why it remains something unfamiliar and niche. Seaweed is often highlighted as a sustainable food of the future. It is local, plant-based and rich in umami flavour. Yet despite growing interest from researchers,

Säg ”Primula” och en del tänker på en blomma. Andra tänker på ett lönesystem vars användarvänlighet lämnar en del övrigt att önska. Men när systemet började utvecklas under 1990-talet var det supermodernt – och något som lärosätena själva tagit fram. Välkommen att följa med i den vindlande berättelsen om personal- och lönesystemet Primula. Vi har talat med en frustrerad forskare, en systemförvalta

I en vetenskaplig artikel slår ekonomihistorikern Erik Bengtsson hål på myten om Sverige som ödesbestämt att bli (social)demokratiskt. Många tror att den svenska jämlikheten vilar på en tradition av samförstånd och självständiga bönder. I stället visar Bengtsson hur bland annat nykterhetsrörelsens starka organisationskultur la grunden till det svenska folkhemmet. Detta mot alla odds eftersom att S
