The committee will apply clearly stated assessment criteria when selecting whom to nominate.
The professors appointed are expected to have general relevance to all environments on both campuses, and for activity within both the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Educational Sciences Area. The Moa Martinsson professorship will be located at IKOS on Campus Norrköping. The Tage Danielsson professorship will be located at IKOS on Campus Valla. The locations of the professorships in IKOS and on the respective campus will be determined in dialogue with the holder, head of department, deans and research environments involved.
The professorships will be awarded by the Academic Appointments Board of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences following proposals made by an independent committee. This committee will consist of representatives for the departmental management at the Department of Culture and Society (IKOS), deans within the faculty involved, and representatives for the research environments at IKOS. If necessary, external experts may be consulted.
The chair of the committee will be IKOS head of department.
