Den modernhistoriska vetenskapspodden En svensk tiger diskuterar rättegångarna i Nürnberg 1945-1946, folkmord och brott mot mänskligheten.
Detta med anledning av att det gått 80 år sedan Nürnbergtribunalen — vilket bland annat uppmärksammas via den amerikanska storfilmen ”Nürnberg”, där filmstjärnan Russel Crowe spelar den ledande nationalsocialisten Hermann Göring.
Nürnbergprocessen innehöll bland annat åtalspunkten brott mot mänskligheten, särskilt angående Förintelsen av Europas judar. Vad innebar begreppet ”brott mot mänskligheten” i Nürnberg? Hur har det utvecklats — och hur skiljer det sig från folkmord, ett brott som skapades juridiskt först 1948 (det vill säga ett par år efter Nürnberg)?
Vad kan sägas om efterföljande rättsprocesser som Tokyotribunalen, rättegången mot Adolf Eichmann och andra rättegångar? Hur påverkas ageranden mot folkmord av att begreppet är så infekterat?
Vår gäst är professor Mark Klamberg, ämnesföreståndare för folkrätt vid Stockholms universitets juridiska institution och författare till boken ”Folkmord” (2025).

EUROPAST Online Workshop “Open Archives, Accessible Research, and Public History”
November 18, 2025, 13:00 to 17:00 CET on ZOOM (https://lu-se.zoom.us/j/64779939772)
Organized and convened by Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Lund University, Sweden
Hosted by The North European Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Holocaust (NORAH) at Lund University, Sweden.
Chair: Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Researcher in History, Lund University and NORAH
Speakers:
Professor Thomas Cauvin, Professor of Public History, University of Luxembourg
Dr. Laura Aguiar, Lecturer in Cinematic Arts, Ulster University, Northern Ireland
Tomasz Lesniak, Library assistant, Lund University Library, Sweden
Dr. Ming Gao, Research scholar of East Asia studies, Lund University, Sweden
Description:
Archives are where researchers of all types – students, practitioners, academics, and the public – gather and mediate knowledge of the past. In turn, this knowledge forms the narratives that shape societies and our increasingly transnational and globalized world. The openness and availability of archives and the research that stems from them are thus of vital importance to the creation of balanced and nuanced narratives that promote democracy and equality. This begs questions about how to achieve open archives and accessible research that engage the public through different media, resulting in more inclusive public history engagements. This workshop, hosted by the North European Center for Research on Antisemitism and the Holocaust at Lund University (NORAH), is geared towards academics, practitioners, archivists, students, and others who engage with archives, research, and/or public history or want to reach the public. Participants have the opportunity not only to listen to experts in public history education, open archives, multimedia content creation, and public history writing share their experiences and best practices, but also to interact with them personally for meaningful personal advice and expertise.
Program:
13:00 – Welcome and Opening Remarks: Professor Barbara Törnquist-Plewa, Professor of European Studies, Lund University, and Dr. Victoria Van Orden Martínez, Researcher in History, Lund University and NORAH
13:30 – Dr. Thomas Cauvin, Professor of Public History, University of Luxembourg (lead, Public History and Outreach research area) and Dr. Laura Aguiar, Lecturer in Cinematic Arts, Ulster University, Northern Ireland (Multimedia producer)
Archives in Public History
The presentation explores what makes archives truly public within the context of public history. It examines how archives have evolved from static repositories to dynamic spaces, questioning issues of selection, censorship, accessibility, and corporate control. Through examples of inclusive and community-driven practices, we’ll consider how archives can engage the public, challenge dominant narratives, and activate their role in shaping collective memory.
14:30 – Break
14:45 – Tomasz Lesniak, Library assistant, Lund University Library, Sweden (authority on the UNESCO Memory of the World-designated Ravensbrück Archive at Lund University Library)
A Short History of The Polish Research Institute in Lund
In the final months of World War II, thousands of survivors from Nazi concentration camps were evacuated to southern Sweden through large-scale humanitarian operations led by the Red Cross and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Among those who stepped forward to support these survivors was Zygmunt Lakociński (1905–1987), a Polish lecturer at Lund University. During his visits to refugee camps housing Polish citizens, Lakociński encountered many survivors and listened to their deeply personal and harrowing stories. Driven by a commitment to preserve these vital testimonies, he founded the Polish Research Institute in 1945. The Institute’s mission was to document the experiences of Polish survivors, especially those who had endured the horrors of Nazi concentration camps. Since 2015, I have had the privilege of overseeing the archive of the Polish Research Institute in Lund. This archive preserves an invaluable collection of personal histories and research materials that continue to shed light on the resilience and suffering of Polish survivors during and after the war.
15:15 – Dr. Ming Gao, Research scholar of East Asia studies, Lund University, Sweden (leading writer for The Conversation)
Connecting the Past, the Present, and the Public
This talk explores how historians can bridge the gap between scholarship and public life, transforming academic research into narratives that resonate with contemporary issues. Drawing on personal examples from platforms like The Conversation and other forms of public scholarship, it considers how public history can inform debate, influence policy, and make an impact both domestically and internationally.

Ämne: [Tema-t] Open positions on Nuclear Futures: 1 Ass Prof + 1 PhD candidate – applications due 1 Dec 2025
Dear colleagues (apologies for cross-posting),
We are very happy to announce two open positions in Technology and Social Change at Linköping University, Sweden: one Assistant Professor (tenure track) and one PhD candidate (4 years fully funded).
Both positions are linked to the establishment of a new research area: Nuclear Futures, focusing on cultural, environmental, sociotechnical, and political issues related to nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and nuclear waste, and we foresee the additional recruitment of a postdoctoral scholar to the Nuclear Futures research area during 2026. Relevant educational backgrounds for the position include, among others, human geography, environmental humanities, science and technology studies, ethnology, anthropology, history of ideas, urban and regional planning, futures studies, or related fields.
The successful applicants will have considerable freedom to shape the research area, but possible research directions include humanities and social science perspectives on the establishment of new uranium mining, emerging technologies in nuclear power, deep time horizons in relation to long-lived radioactive waste, and civil society engagement in nuclear issues.
Application deadline: Monday 1 Dec 2025
