60 alumneportrætter klar – styrket fortælling om Humanioras kandidatveje

"Hvad kan jeg blive?" er et af de vigtigste spørgsmål for kommende studerende. For humanistiske uddannelser er svaret sjældent enkelt, da vores uddannelser åbner døren til mange forskellige karriereveje. Det er en styrke i praksis, men udfordring i kommunikationen. For at gøre karriereperspektiverne mere tydelige har vi på to måneder udviklet 60 alumneportrætter, der sætter ansigt og fortælling på de mange veje, vores kandidater går. 60 veje fra uddannelse til jobPortrætterne dækker alle bachelor- og kandidatuddannelser med tre alumner pr. uddannelse. På tværs af brancher og sektorer fortæller alumnerne om meningsfulde jobs, faglig stolthed og om, hvordan deres uddannelse fortsat danner fundament for deres arbejde. Samtidig giver portrætterne et nuanceret og inspirerende billede af de mange muligheder, en humanistisk uddannelse åbner for – og bidrager til at udfordre forsimplede forestillinger om humanisters jobmuligheder. Stærke perspektiver på uddannelsernePortrætterne er fyldt med positive fortællinger fra studietiden. Alumnerne fremhæver fagligheden, underviserne og de kompetencer, de tog med sig, som afgørende for deres karriere og virke i dag. Alumnerne er udvalgt i tæt samarbejde med studieledere og fagmiljøer med fokus på at vise forskellige karriereveje og en bred repræsentation af dimittender. En samlet fortælling på uddannelsessiderneAlumneportrætterne er en central del af det samlede indhold på uddannelsessiderne, som skal hjælpe kommende studerende med at få svar på tre centrale spørgsmål:[list][*]Passer jeg ind her? – gennem videoer med relaterbare studerende[*]Hvad møder jeg fagligt? – gennem tydelige uddannelsestekster[*]Hvad kan det føre til? – gennem alumneportrætter, der viser konkrete karriereveje [/list]Anvendelse i rekrutteringenPortrætterne anvendes på sdu.dk’s uddannelsessider målrettet potentielle studerende og indgår i Humanioras rekrutterings- og kommunikationsindsatser, herunder på LinkedIn, i kampagner og i vejledningsarbejdet.Her finder du portrætterneAlle alumneportrætter findes på uddannelsessiderne på sdu.dk under karriere (scrol ned på siden). Se fx         Amerikanske studier:https://www.sdu.dk/da/uddannelse/bachelor/amerikanske-studier/karriere        Biblioteksvidenskab:https://www.sdu.dk/da/uddannelse/bachelor/biblioteksvidenskab-it-kommunikation/karriere        Negot:https://www.sdu.dk/da/uddannelse/bachelor/negot/karriere        Oldtidskundskab:https://www.sdu.dk/da/uddannelse/bachelor/oldtidskundskab/karriereFor os i Kommunikationsafdelingen har det været en kæmpe fornøjelse at tale med 60 engagerede alumner. Deres fortællinger har strålet af stolthed og glæde over både deres uddannelse og det at være dimittend fra SDU – og det er helt naturligt også smittet af på os.// HUM KOM

Reform 2027 - Tværfaglighed, digitale kompetencer, nye arbejdsformer og tydelige karriereveje

Fakultetet har nu offentliggjort en plan for strategisk udvikling af uddannelserne på Det Humanistiske Fakultet frem mod 2030.Planen tager udgangspunkt i fakultetets strategi for 2030 og er udarbejdet i dialog med studielederne og institutterne, bl.a. på det seneste sommerseminar. Gennem en større studieordningsreform med effekt fra september 2027 skal reformen realisere en række af de uddannelsesrettede målsætninger i 2030-strategien og styrke den samlede uddannelsesporteføljes økonomiske robusthed. De overordnede formål med reformen er at styrke kvalitet, relevans, sammenhæng og tværfaglighed i fakultetets uddannelser. Reformens delmål er således at øge tværfagligt samarbejde og samlæsning, inkorporere digitale kompetencer i alle studieordninger, indføre nye undervisnings- og arbejdsformer, der styrker de studerendes engagement, og skabe en tydeligere markering af karriereveje fra uddannelsernes start til overgangen til arbejdsmarkedet med fokus på uddannelsen til gymnasielærer. Reformen indeholder konkret fire indsatsområder: [list=1][*]Øget tværfagligt samarbejde og samlæsningMålet er at øge antallet af tværfaglige og samlæste kurser – med udgangspunkt i fælles behov for nye kurser og mulighed for samlæsning qua faglige overlap – for derigennem at fremme tværfaglighed, sikre den kritisk masse af studerende i undervisningen og den økonomiske robusthed i alle uddannelser. [*]Reform af studieordninger med fokus på digitale kompetencerMålet er at sikre, at fakultetets dimittender altid har de digitale kompetencer, der efterspørges på det humanistiske arbejdsmarked. [*]Gymnasierettede karrierevejeMålet er at styrke de gymnasierettede uddannelsers relevans og tydeliggøre vejen til en karriere som gymnasielærer for både potentielle og aktuelle studerende. [*]Engagerende undervisnings- og arbejdsformerMålet er at skabe undervisningsformater og arbejdsformer, der øger de studerendes engagement i og uden for VIP-styret undervisning i tråd med Humanioramodellen. Blandt andet ved at arbejde med brugen af forpligtende aktiviteter i uddannelse og undervisning, og at styrke kontakten og relationen mellem studerende og undervisere/forskere. [/list]Der sættes nu gang i arbejdsgrupper under de fire indsatsområder bestående af studieledere, viceinstitutledere, ressourcepersoner (bl.a. i forhold til pædagogisk kompetenceudvikling og digitale kompetencer i uddannelser) og prodekanen. Studienævn og fagkollegier bliver naturligvis inddraget i den konkrete udmøntning i studieordningerne. Hvis du gerne vil vide mere om reformen, og om hvordan den udmøntes på de uddannelser, du er tilknyttet, kan du kontakte din studieleder eller din viceinstitutleder.

DIAS Event - Opening Up (on) Science: Facts, Tips, and Strategies on How to Shape the Future of Science Today

23 jun

Open science is transforming the research landscape in ways that touch every aspect of academic life. It is changing how science is conducted, written, evaluated, funded, and disseminated, across all disciplines and at each step of the scholarly career path. For early-career researchers, this shift brings both opportunities and challenges: how do you build an open science practice that strengthens rather than complicates a career still taking shape? For seasoned researchers, it raises equally pressing questions about mentorship, responsibility, accountability, and integrity. Institutional, governmental, and international policies and initiatives help frame the agenda here, but it is really how individual researchers engage with openness in their daily practice that drives these larger-scale initiatives, determines their success, and ultimately shapes the future of science.This event features a keynote presentation by Professor Vincent Larivière, holder of the UNESCO Chair on Open Science and one of the leading voices on scholarly communication, followed by an open Q&A session. Professor Larivière will map the current landscape of open science, what it means, where it is heading, and how it is increasingly shaping expectations in academic publishing, research funding, and career evaluation. The floor will then open for questions, with a focus on the issues that matter most: [list=1][*]What is open science and why is it necessary?[*]What is already open, what can be opened, and what can’t?[*]How do you find the right balance between your own survival and the greater good of science?[*]How do you open up your research without exposing yourself?[*]What can you justifiably ask of your colleagues, peers, and students?[*]Who can lend a hand, and how?[/list] This event is designed for open-minded researchers from all fields and at all stages of their career. Vincent Larivière is a full Professor at the École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information at the Université de Montréal (EBSI), where he teaches bibliometrics and research methods in information science while supervising numerous emerging researchers.

DIAS Event: How Is Great Research Built Today? A DIAS Conversation with the SDU Rector, Jens Ringsmose

24 jun

What does it take today to build great research?It is not just about great ideas and the right people but about building environments that help them think bigger, navigate smarter, and connect to society. This final DIAS event of the semester brings SDU Rector Jens Ringsmose into DIAS Blue Sky conversation. He will zoom out to the broader landscape shaping universities right now: a system where funding increasingly comes from outside, where expectations of impact are rising, and where research is unfolding inside a deeply political arena - within a larger (political) arena itself.Universities are no longer just places of knowledge. They are institutions under pressure, expected to deliver on interdisciplinarity, innovation, and societal relevance, while at the same time defending academic freedom. And that raises a difficult question: How can a young, ambitious researcher in the best possible way acquire insight into this politico-institutional context and use it in support of research leadership and career objectives? Jens Ringsmose will open the session with the larger trends shaping the research landscape today. From there, the discussion turns to DIAS: how environments like this can support outstanding researchers, not just in thinking freely, but in finding their footing in a complex system where ideas, people, funding, and politics are increasingly intertwined.Join us in this last event of the semester with the university leadership, which also bring in DIAS Director Sten Rynning and Chair Ben Davies into the conversation. About Jens RingsmoseJens Ringsmose is a Professor of International Politics and the Rector of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), a position he has held since 2021. Before becoming Rector, he served as Dean of the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences at SDU and before that as Vice-Dean for Research and Director of the Institute for Military Operations at the Royal Danish Defence College. He earned his MA in History and PhD in International Politics from SDU. His research interests include strategic studies, security and defense policy, NATO and asymmetric conflicts.Jens is also a member of YERUN’s Executive Board, and both Jens and SDU are very committed to internationalization and the European higher education and research areas.About Sten RynningSten Rynning is Director of the Danish Institute of Advanced Study and a Professor of War Studies, the University of Southern Denmark. He served as interim dean of the Faculty of Business and Social Sciences November 2021-May 2022 and as vice dean for research June 2019-August 2022.He founded SDU’s Center for War Studies and has advised several official Danish and Norwegian commissions on security and foreign policy. Rynning has held senior academic leadership roles at SDU and serves on multiple international editorial and advisory boards.

Robociety workshop Interactive robots in everyday life: Status, Challenges and Perspectives

25 jun

While robots have been employed in industrial contexts since the 1960s and have since extended their sensorial and intelligent capabilities, the operation of today’s robots in everyday life is still very limited. Whether it be public places, work environments, or life at home, physical robots are in general not yet capable of meaningfully interacting with humans. Human Robot Interaction (HRI) – in contrast to HCI – did not yet make it to commercially successful applications relevant for everyday life.At our workshop, we will discuss the current status and technical challenges in relevant subdisciplines such as Speech Recognition and Dialogue Processing, Dexterous manipulation, Computer Vision, Mobile Robots and HRI as a discipline integrating all these fields. At the end of the workshop, we will discuss perspectives for the development of interactive robots that have the potential to intrude public life.  Agenda 10:00 Prof. Norbert Krüger: Welcome and Introduction10:05 Prof. Ulrik Schultz: Autonomous Drones in Danish Society - Status and Challenges10:30 Prof. Lazaros Nalpantidis (DTU): Computer Vision on Robots: Status and Challenges10:55 Søren Udby (OUH): Learnings & Challenges in Developing and Implementing Robots in a Hospital11:25 Prof. Henrik G.

DIAS Event: The pursuitworthiness of Big Science experiments by Siska De Baerdemaeker

9 sep

Abstract: Since the second World War, we have entered the era of ‘Big Science’. Research is now often conducted at a scale well beyond of what one individual, or even one research lab can manage. Such large experiments tend to require financial support from one or more government agencies over extended periods of time—often even several decades. Because of this increase in costs, scientists have had to change how they decide what experiments to pursue, since only a small number of large-scale experiments will be funded at any given time, and what experiments are pursued can determine the future of scientific research. In this talk, I want to give a start at investigating what makes an experiment more worthy to pursue compared to other experiments, especially in the era of Big Science. Short Bio: My primary interests lie in history and philosophy of cosmology and astrophysics, and general philosophy of science. I received my PhD in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Pittsburgh in 2020, before joining the philosophy department at Stockholm University. In 2025, I received a Starting Grant from the European Research Council for a project on collective decision-making on future large-scale experiments in cosmology and astrophysics. My Cambridge Element, Philosophy of Cosmology and Astrophysics, was published in 2025.

Capitalism Thursdays: Entrepreneurialism

10 sep

What is entrepreneurialism, and what can it reveal about contemporary capitalism as a historical, political, and social phenomenon? Entrepreneurship is often presented as a force of innovation, growth, and renewal, but it is also embedded in institutions, policies, ideologies, and particular historical settings. This seminar explores entrepreneurialism as part of the DIAS series on “Capitalism in the Danish Experience”, asking how entrepreneurship has shaped, and been shaped by, different forms of capitalism.The event brings together three perspectives. Christina Lubinski will address entrepreneurialism as a concept, ideology, and historical phenomenon. Adam Frost will examine entrepreneurship and capitalism in China, drawing on his work on informal entrepreneurship and economic transformation in Maoist China. Mads Bruun Ingstrup will discuss Danish enterprise and cluster policy.Each speaker will give a 30-minute presentation, followed by a 30-minute panel discussion moderated by Paul Sharp.Programme13:00–13:30 Christina Lubinski, CBS, Entrepreneurialism and the Futures of Capitalism: Ideology, Hype, and History13:30–14:00 Adam Frost, DIAS/SDU, Entrepreneurial Co-Optation in Maoist China14:00-14:10 Break14:10–14:40 Mads Bruun Ingstrup, SDU, Cluster policy as an instrument for growth and innovation14:40–15:00 Panel discussion, moderated by Paul SharpSpeakersChristina Lubinski is Professor at Copenhagen Business School, where her work rethinks entrepreneurship in society by examining how entrepreneurial ideas and practices shape, and are shaped by, social, political, and cultural transformations.Adam K.

DIAS Event: The Future of Health Depends on Rehabilitation by Pierre Côté

16 sep

The Future of Health Depends on RehabilitationRehabilitation has long been under-prioritized in health systems, even as the global demand for these services rises sharply and far outpaces what is currently offered. Funding models often fail to support rehabilitation adequately, despite its essential role in universal health coverage, healthy aging, and equitable care. The WHO’s resolution on Strengthening Rehabilitation in Health Systems, the Rehabilitation 2030 initiative, and the World Rehabilitation Alliance (WRA) signal a global shift toward addressing this urgent gap. Dr. Côté will examine how health services and policy research can shape responsive policies, drawing on the work of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Health at the Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research. He will also highlight why generating robust data on the value of rehabilitation, its impact on population health, work productivity, and quality of life for aging adults is critical to support governments in making informed investments in integrated, sustainable rehabilitation services.About Pierre CôtéPierre Côté is a professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University. Côté is an epidemiologist who holds the Hann-Kelly Family Chair in Disability and Rehabilitation Research. From 2013-2023, he held the prestigious Canada Research Chair in Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation. Côté is the founding Director of the Institute for Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (IDRR), a leading international research hub which aims to improve the functioning and quality of life of people with disability or in need of rehabilitation. He is the inaugural Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center on Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Health. Professor Côté currently serves Lead of The Cochrane Rehabilitation Methodological Group. Dr. Côté holds appointments at international universities. He is a Professor of Epidemiology at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto; Adjunct Professor of Disability Prevention at Southern Denmark University; Honorary Professor of Physiotherapy at MGM Institute of Health Sciences, India, and Visiting Professor of Health Promotion Sciences at Sophiahemment University, Sweden.  Throughout his career, Côté has published more than 420 peer-reviewed papers. His current Scopus h-index is 71. Throughout his career, Professor Côté has supervised more than 50 master’s, doctoral and post-doctoral trainees.This event is hosted and organized by DIAS Chair Jan Hartvigsen

DIAS Event: Support for Political Violence in the United States: What explains why some Americans support and tolerate violent extremism and what can be done about it by James A. Piazza

23 sep

Experts worry that support and tolerance for political violence and violent extremist actors is on the rise in the United States.  Is this true?  If so, what might explain why more Americans view political violence to be acceptable? Finally, what can be done to stem the tide of support for political violence in the U.S. and perhaps elsewhere.  In this lecture I present some of my findings over several years of public opinion research on political violence in the United StatesJames A. Piazza is a Liberal Arts professor of Political Science whose research focuses on terrorism, political violence, and violent extremism in the United States. He holds a Ph.D. in Politics from New York University, an M.A. in Middle East Studies from the University of Michigan, and a B.A. in Political Science from Loyola University Chicago. Piazza’s work examines how democratic processes, demographic change, and extremist ideologies shape patterns of political violence. His research has been published in leading journals, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Security Studies, and Political Research Quarterly, and he is widely recognized for his comparative studies of left‑wing, right‑wing, and Islamist extremism.
