The overall aim of the current project is to map profiles of behavior, cognition, and sensory responsiveness in ID (intellectual disability) and co-occurring neurodevelopmental conditions with and without a known genetic cause.
The development of wages during recent decades has in many countries encompassed increasing educational wage premia, the wage difference between college and non-college educated workers. This project focuses on the role of trade unions, and the wage bargaining system, for the development of the wage premium.
This project brings more nuance to the history of suffrage in Sweden. As history is usually written, 1921 marks the end of the struggle for suffrage. But rather than regarding the reform of 1921 as a definitive democratic breakthrough, the research project examines the events of the following century as a continuing but non-linear process of democratisation.
A dataset to study the causal effects of university education, exploiting a statistical technique called regression discontinuity. I study the returns to education (in terms of earnings and wealth), educational spillovers between siblings and across generations, and how university education can influence health and social preferences.
In the project, we investigate how high school teachers in science education can work to develop teaching about the nature and practices of science. We also take a closer look at how collaboration among high school teachers can contribute to the knowledge base of the teaching profession.
This is a project in algebraic geometry, the branch of mathematics which is concerned with the study of geometric objects that can be described through polynomial equations. These are called (algebraic) varieties.
There is currently a pressing need to adapt crops to future climates by breeding drought- and heat-resilient varieties. Wild crop relatives harbor untapped genetic variation for breeding but remain underutilized due to the lack of efficient methods to identify beneficial variants in collections.
How is the professional identity of practically experienced teachers affected by undergoing an academic education alongside their teaching work? What impact do experienced teachers perceive that the academic education has on professional activities during and after the graduation?
Cellulose is an essential constituent in the architecture of plants, where it contributes with extraordinary properties in terms of strength and stiffness. Using scanning electron diffraction we are revealing details of its atomic structure.
The increase in summer sea-ice melt will likely amplify Arctic warming. But could the same conditions also spur the activity of marine microbiota, increase cloudiness, and counteract the melting?
Dynamical heterogeneities (DyHes) emerge in liquids upon cooling, when molecules form regions with distinct slow and fast dynamics. Even though DyHes are ubiquitous across research fields, they have so far eluded direct experimental observation.
The UPSIDEHYB project centers on the development of sustainable solutions for the food industry's leftover materials.
The Uppsala Birth Cohort Multigenerational Study (UBCoS Multigen) offers a unique opportunity to explore several issues highly relevant for health equity research.
The research investigates the multi-faceted social, economic and political processes shaping cities on the African continent.
Stockholm University Urban and Regional Research Environment (SURE) consists of researchers with a variety of interests and approaches but all are united in exploring contemporary spatial processes and change. Our research engages with debates in urban, cultural, and economic geography as well as spatial planning, governance and policy studies.
How have cities emerged and how do they change over time? Within the field of urban history, a multitude of perspectives, themes and disciplines meet; cultural, economical, judicial, settlement historical, and spacial aspects of cities and city formations.
The urban history network “Nordic Urban Welfare 1840–1940” consists of researchers from the Nordic countries. They share an interest in the development of welfare from an urban perspective. The research is situated at the intersection of the humanities and the social sciences. Various methods and source materials are used to illuminate how Nordic cities engaged in the expansion of welfare. The network organises workshops, participates in international conferences, and works actively to launch and run new research projects.
A comparative study of Stockholm and London.
One of the reasons given by parents and students for applying from the suburbs to the inner city school is the opportunity to learn a so-called “good Swedish” . The idea of a good Swedish spoken by specific students in specific places can be described as a form of language ideology, ie a normative notion of language and its users.
In March 2026, a new research project will start at the Department of History at Stockholm University: "Urban Welfare 1840–1920: The Rise of the Welfare City". This project, funded by the Olle Engkvist Foundation, seeks to challenge the prevailing belief that the state was the primary organizer of Nordic welfare.
