A conversation presented as part of the Battle of Ideas Debate festival at Accelerator on November 16th 2022.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the return of war to Europe has shocked the world and appears to have upended many assumptions about how international politics operates. What are the roots of the crisis in Ukraine and what will be the implications for reshaping Europe? Is this a new moment of Western unity and a reassertion of ‘Western values’ or the return of History and deeper geopolitical tensions? If borders and nation states still need to be taken seriously, how can countries offer solidarity to others?
Speakers:
Alex Voronov, journalist and writer. Since Russia’s invasion he has done several trips to the Ukraine to report from the war zone. Voronov is a former political editor of Eskilstuna-Kuriren, and currently an editorial writer at Liberala Nyhetsbyrån.
Maria Nilsson, Associate Professor of Journalism at the Institute of Media Studies, Stockholm University. Nilsson’s research interests include the politics of representation; questions of power, credibility and agency in visual media practices; and visual journalism and journalism in various historical and current contexts.
Sabine Beppler-Spahl, author and journalist. Chair at the Freiblickinstitut, Germany correspondent for online publication Spiked. -
Making the work of researchers open and accessible is nowadays a requirement from governments, financiers and scientific publishers worldwide. But wahat does it mean in practice ti work openly? In this episode we meet two researchers who have made open science their everyday practice.
Researcher Nina Kirchner, Associate Professor of Glaciology at Stockholm University, and Director of Tarfala Research Station, spends several months each year in the northern parts of Sweden and in the Arctic to collect data from glaciers and mountain peaks. This research is important in the understanding of climate change, therefore Nina Kirchner and her researh team shares this data in repositories accessible by anyone.
Open science is the practice also for ethologist John Fitzpatrick, Associate Professor at the Department of Zoology, and Teacher of the Year, who has a research interest in sexual selection and the evolution of reproductive behaviours. In the Department of Zoology open science is standard, with a rarely high rate of open data publications.
In this episode they talk about their research, how they handle research data and what the incentives as well as the challenges might be to work openly.
The podcast is in English. Find more episodes on open science (in Swedish) in our backlog, or at the website of Stockholm University Library.

In Bakom bokhyllan's first episode in English we look at science communication: What impact does it have and why are we doing it? Can knowledge really change people's behavior?
We talk with Will Brehm, Associate Professor of Education and International Development at University College London & Creator of the academic podcast FreshEd, and Gia Destouni, Professor of Hydrology and Water Resources at Stockholm University.
Will and Gia are researchers and teachers, working in two very different fields at different universities, but they are both interested in how research is being communicated to the general public, and within the academic world.
This episode is a collaboration with the podcast Fresh Ed. Host is Cecilia Burman, communication officer at Stockholm University Library.

Artist talk recorded on 27 April 2022 at Accelerator, to introduce the work "PRE-EXODUS" and invite a conversation on its related themes.
Participants
Solenne Tadros, artist
Lina Aastrup, curator
Shahram Khosravi, professor of social anthropology, Stockholm University
Leila Khoury Nimry was thirteen years old when she fled her home in Haifa, Palestine during the Nakba in 1948. In "PRE-EXODUS" she shares the memories of her childhood bedroom, illustrated and developed into a virtual reality experience, created by artist Solenne Tadros. The work activates questions of memory, intergenerational trauma, forced displacement and loss of land.
Accelerator has a collaboration with the International Master’s Programme in Curating Art at Stockholm University. The students create events in connection to themes that Accelerator wishes to highlight in the exhibition programme. The exhibition "PRE-EXODUS" is part of Lina Aastrup’s degree project. -
“Why would I have to find a home? I’ve never had one.”
This conversation engages a Stockholm-based filmmaker, Sophie Vuković, and two professors from Stockholm University, Fataneh Farahani and Shahram Khosravi, in a joint discussion on the meaning of home and homing, hospitality and hostility, and the distinction between homelessness and houselessness.
In this public discussion, recorded at Accelerator on December 16, 2021, we addressed questions such as, Who is “at home” in academic and cultural worlds? Can the body be a place of homing, a personal archive that we carry around with us? The conversation was moderated by Jelena Jovičić, project leader for Art & Research at Accelerator.
