SASUF Satellite event - Visual Culture for Postgraduates: master programmes in comparison and collaboration

SASUF Satellite Events are a part of the SASUF Research and Innovation Week 2024, and are organised across Sweden 13-14 May.

Visual Culture for Postgraduates: master programmes in comparison and collaboration

Through a gathering of researchers, lecturers, students and university management, we will identify challenges in developing and implementing an international master’s programme in visual culture and interculturality as well as explore strategies to overcome them. Experiences of teaching and supervision at the master’s level at the Universities of Johannesburg and Karlstad will be presented and compared, and invitations have been extended to the universities of Gothenburg, Lund and Aalborg where similar programmes and collaborations are currently in play to share their knowledge and know-how.

The event is open to all with an interest in visual and intercultural studies. Welcome!
