Solidarity Networking and Ukrainian Mental Maps: Russia's War against Ukraine and The February 24th Archive Project About the Lecture: I am an East European intellectual and political historian by training, and a student of map prejudices by practice. For a digitally activist Ukraine, the February 24th Archive is a polyphonic treasure trove of solidarity and resistance to Russia's war of aggression. My archive bridges six main multilingual groups: (1) professionally trained field experts in Ukrainian Studies; (2) interested nonspecialists in and beyond academe; (3) leading journalists; (4) OSINT amateurs and mapmakers, who catalogue war crimes and build cases with evidence for criminal prosecution; (5) diplomats and policymakers; and (6) most crucially, a voting citizenry that crosses ideological lines, hoping to raise literacy against malignant disinformation. While we commonly think about how social media divides and polarizes in 2024, I will introduce strategies on how I have worked against over the past three years against currents of unseen algorithms on digital platforms. I take inspiration for my ongoing Twitter/X war archive from scholarly work in the history of social and radical cartography, and ongoing Ukrainian war documenting projects. My goal for the February 24th Archive is to respect Ukrainian privacy and ethical issues toward a future Nuremberg tribunal moment, while basing a rolling public war digital record in a daily working Global Commons which is too often flooded with disinformation.

In today's episode, I will take a closer look at the law of Jante which I just mentioned in my last episode. The law of Jante is an unwritten law that in so many ways has colored the Scandinavian countries, our societies, and our behavior. The law of Jante comes from a novel by the Danish-Norweigan author Aksel Sandemose in his novel  “A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks” from 1933. In this novel, a young man returns to his home, a village called Jante, which is ruled by the law of Jante.  The law is actually ten laws that can be summed up in one sentence. You're not to think that you're anyone special or think that you are better than us. And if you go against this law, you are looked upon with suspicion and hostility. And the purpose of the law is to preserve social stability. I will look at how this law has formed me as an individual, and how moving to the US, which is very much the opposite of the law of Jante, has changed me in some ways, but how at the same time I still have to suppress a lot of the effects it has on me. Support the showThank You for listening to A Swedish Fika.

Sweden has a reputation for being a sustainability leader in many areas, so you can imagine how curious we were to learn about a newish proposal from the current Swedish government for a chemical tax on textiles. The proposal was recently made available to stakeholders for comment, and of course, a robust debate has ensued. Is this proposal, as presented today, going to lead to a reduction in harmful chemicals in Sweden and globally? Or is it a smoke screen for a government that is looking for ways to raise revenues for its national budget? And is the proposal a done deal, given the political parties agreed to this ahead of time when forming a government? In Part 2 of this episode, Michael speaks with experts who are positive to the proposed tax. We hear from Therese Jacobsson, Head of Ocean, Water & Toxics at the Swedish Society of Nature Conservation (a well established Swedish NGO), and two researchers who participated in the proposed tax advisory group: Daniel Slunge, an environmental economist at the Gothenburg Centre for Sustainable Development and the FRAM Centre for Future chemical Risk Assessment and Management, and Åke Bergman, a professor at Stockholm University and highly respected environmental chemist. Unfortunately the politicians and political parties supporting the proposal did not respond to our request for comment. Given we need bold and smart government leadership more than ever, we think this is an excellent case study for exploring what good government leadership can look like as well as which government actions can be problematic.

To open or not reopen our schools during the COVID-19 pandemic is a contentious topic that is currently being debated by parents, doctors, public health professionals, politicians and teachers. There are strong opinions on both sides of the issue. On this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Erin Stair chats with Dr. Jonas Ludvigsson who will explain why he believes it's safe for schools to be open. Dr. Ludvigsson is both a pediatrician and epidemiologist in Sweden. Between 2011-2014, he was the chairman of the Swedish Epidemiological Association and between 2014-2016, he was the chair of the Swedish Society of Pediatrics and has done extensive research in the area of pediatrics, as well as set up the first national gastrointestinal pathology register. He is an honorary professor at Columbia University School of Medicine in New York City and at Nottingham University School of Medicine in the UK. He's on the editorial board of the European Journal of Epidemiology and in 2019, he was named the staff pediatrician for the Swedish Television Station TV4. In May of 2020, he wrote a paper, Children are unlikely to be the main drivers of the COVID-19 pandemic , and he will discuss his current viewpoints on this issue, as it relates to schools.

In April 2019, a youth-led panel with representatives from youth and student organizations and global health leaders took place at our house in Stockholm. Before the panel, we hade the opportunity to sit down with Peter Sands (Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria) and Dr Seth Berkley (CEO of Gavi the Vaccine Alliance) to discuss their respective work and personal engagement in global health. It became an interesting dialogue spanning over sustainable development goals, barriers to gain impact to achieve the 2030 agenda, the role of stakeholder engagement and reigniting global solidarity.

The organization of consumption and production is a global challenge, which urgently needs to be addressed. How could we achieve a transition to sustainable consumption and production patterns? If everyone on the planet consumed as much as the average Swede, 4 Earths would be needed to sustain the consumption. Even if overall carbon emissions within Swedish borders are decreasing, the consumption-based emission have been more or less the same since 2008. Increased levels of consumption in the West impacts the so-called Global South on multiple levels, since a high share of the production is situated there and raises questions in all three pillars of sustainability – the social, economic and ecologic. The garment industry stands for a higher share of carbon emissions than the aviation and shipping industries combined. Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable nations to the impact of climate change, at the same time as garment exports stands for almost 12 percent of its GDP and is the world's second largest apparel exporter of western fashion brands. How can we shift to a fair sustainable consumption and production? What challenges are Bangladesh facing in the intersect between growth, development and prosperity, in the light of the Sustainable Development Goals? Speakers: Sanjida Shamsher Elora, Researcher, Swedwatch Alexander Sjöberg, Senior Policy Advisor Sustainable Consumption, Naturskyddsföreningen (the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) Moderator: Stephanie Esk, Programme Manager, the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) In cooperation with the Museum of World Culture. The seminar was enabled by the financial support of SIDA through Forum Syd.

We're talking about an important topic. It's the effect of bullying on chronic pain in children and adolescents. When I did an interview with Dr. Christine Chambers, a psychologist who treats children and adolescents with chronic pain, I said that I was going to be dedicating more episodes to this important topic because if we can prevent pain in children, it won't carry over to having pain in adults. We won't have the mass of chronic pain that we have now. When I saw this topic on a med search I did, I said this is someone I have to invite on the podcast to discuss what her research has shown. Our guest is Dr. Pernilla Garmy. She is a registered nurse specializing in children's health. She has several years of experience working as a school nurse in Sweden. She's an Associate Professor at Kristianstad University in Sweden.

Så ett frö! Så lyder titeln på boken som nyligen utsågs till Årets Trädgårdsbok, och i det här avsnittet får du möta författaren bakom den – trädgårdsmästaren Annelie Johansson. Boken har hon skrivit som en del av sitt arbete med Lek Odla Väx, en verksamhet på Rosendals Trädgård som ska väcka odlingslust och skapa förståelse för ekologi och kretslopp hos barn. Avsnittet innehåller inte helt otippat en hel del inspiration för dig som vill ha sällskap av små individer i trädgårdslandet – och få dem att vilja stanna kvar. Hör varför det är viktigt att väcka odlingslusten tidigt i livet, om hur du planerar en trädgård som tilltalar barn – helt utan studsmatta – och vilken gröda som brukar göra störst succé på barnens skördefest. Annelie, som även jobbar som projektledare för SSPPG, Swedish Society of Public Parks and Gardens, berättar också om parkernas betydelse för att locka turister, liksom om Rottneros Park i Värmland, där hon tidigare jobbat som chefsträdgårdsmästare. Dessutom får du höra om en kompost så effektiv att den kan användas till att koka ägg. Intervjun är inspelad på Rosendals Trädgård den 14 oktober.

In 1897, Swedish patent engineer S.A. Andrée set out in a quixotic bid to reach the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon, departing from Norway with two companions and hoping to drift over the top of the world and come down somewhere in the Bering Strait. Instead the expedition vanished. In this episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll learn what happened to the Eagle and its three brave passengers, and consider the role of hindsight in the writing of history. We'll also learn what the White House planned to do if Neil Armstrong became stranded on the moon, and puzzle over why seeing a plane flying upside down would impact a woman's job. Sources for our segment on S.A. Andrée's attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon: Henri Lachambre and Alexis Machuron, Andrée and His Balloon, 1898. George Palmer Putnam, Andrée: The Record of a Tragic Adventure, 1930. Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geology, Andrée's Story, 1930. Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geology, The Andrée Diaries, 1931. Alec Wilkinson, The Ice Balloon: S.A. Andrée and the Heroic Age of Arctic Exploration, 2011. Here's the Eagle after its downfall, as recorded by Nils Strindberg's cartographic camera. Even if he'd succeeded, Andrée's bid would have tested the limits of balloon flight: 750 miles separated Spitzbergen from the pole, and the three men would have had to cross another thousand miles to reach the Bering Strait. To get to the pole and then safely back to land in almost any direction would have meant traveling 1,500 miles aloft, and a balloon must travel almost always directly to leeward. Here's the eulogy that William Safire prepared for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in the event they became stranded on the moon in July 1969: Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice. These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown. In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man. In ancient days, men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood. Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts. For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind. The last line is an allusion to Rupert Brooke's 1914 poem "The Soldier": If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
