Some of Sweden's strongest culture research environments can be found at Linköping University and we are host to a research centre (ACSIS) which is a hub for cultural research in Sweden and a link to international research.
As culture has become an increasingly important source of social and economic development, there is a growing need for competent cultural research that can provide new and in-depth knowledge of the significance of cultural patterns and forms of societal expression.
As cultural research can encompass all conceivable aspects of everyday life, social life and business, it exists not only in traditional core subjects within the humanities but also within social sciences, economy and other disciplines.
History lives with us
Martin Kylhammar is professor at Tema Q: Culture and Society. In his research he looks to Swedish authors, from Strindberg onward, in order to understand the timeless way in which we manage modernity and the changes it brings.
