Next Week: Stakeholder Dialogue

Hej folks!

Next week we will be discussing the politics of natural resource management with a focus on a specific case in Jokkmokk in Northern Sweden. We have divided you into groups which are posted in studentportalen and assigned you an actor for next week's meeting. You should focus on this actor when you read the article before class and we encourage you to try to search for more information about each actor as well! Use the questions on padlet to guide your reading.

There is also a pdf copy of the Robert Yin book on studentportalen now.

Happy Reading!

Dennis Pamlin Lecture 10/9

Hej All,

For those who missed Dennis's lecture, you can view it here, in all of its glory: http://cemusstudent.se/live/

The video quality is not the best, but you can hear the lecture and he is also going to be sending his power point presentation.

Thanks for the good questions yesterday! Cheers!

PS There is still some room left on the bus for anyone who wants to come to Skansen on the 28th! The bus will pick us up at Geocentrum at 10am and bring us back to Uppsala at 5pm. FREE trip to Stockholm, guys, and a cool chance to get to know your classmates better!
