Both the idea of the self and the idea of memory went through significant changes in the 18th and 19th centuries – developments that in important ways were driven by, and showcased in, the different forms of autobiographical expression popular during this period.

The research history of the Younger Dryas oscillation is briefly described. Different Younger Dryas archives are presented and the methods by which the event is dated are discussed. Possible mechanisms behind the oscillation, its presence in northern and southern Hemisphere records and its possible role within a bi-polar seesaw climatic pattern are discussed.

For help in explaining our theoretical understanding of nature, Pauli once suggested to Bohr a gradual lessening of the ‘detachment of the observer’, a notion of Bohr based on his concept of complementarity.

A discussion of the role of guilds in 18th century Swedish society.

In this paper the common assumption that the limit of the body is its physical biological surface is problematized. It is suggested that what we refer to when we speak about a body is an undissolvable unit where conceptual and social construction interact with physical characteristics. Religious ideologies contain conceptual and social constructions limiting which bodies count as real men and wome

This is a collection of projects that were written by students participating in our course on Gender in Science and Technology at Lund University. The course is based on a collaboration between the Department of Physics, the Science Faculty and the Department for Gender Studies, the Social Science Faculty. It is something of a record breaker in longevity, since in the autumn of 2014 it will run fo
