“Access to reproductive technologies, such as IVF, for people living with HIV is an extremely important, but understudied issue. It also raises important issues around overlapping (and sometimes contradictory) policy frameworks at local, national, and European levels.

The Research Assistants survey clinics and interview healthcare providers and patients to understand how individuals make decisions about treatment.

Q &A SEE INSIDE A DIS LAB Élodie Cauvet has a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience and, alongside teaching at DIS, she conducts research at Karolinska Institute, Center for Neuro-developmental Disorders (KIND). Hear about her Affective Neuroscience Core Course at DIS, which also consists of a hands-on corequisite lab.

Why is the field of affective neuroscience so exciting?

The field is relatively recent and therefore, a fascinating field all the more! Emotions and moods are very important aspects in our lives and color our everyday life experiences as well as our memories. Defective emotion perception and regulation are at the root of several prominent disorders including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, among others. Emotions cannot be detached from our experience; we are highly emotional and social beings. Exploring this field is like opening a window to a whole new world that modifies our world perception.

Tell us about the highlights of the Core Course and lab.

We hold discussions and workshops, and hear from prominent European researchers. Through cultural visits, students experience how the arts elicit emotions and how this relates to cognitive and neural processes.

Students then build their own experiment, an enriching practice that combines all aspects of the class: theoretical knowledge, technical and methodological skills, all the while developing a deep understanding of experimental science.

Another highlight is the two course-integrated Study Tours, where we visit world leading research centers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Paris.

What are the major outcomes from the semester?

How do you bring your professional background into the DIS classroom?

Bringing my real-life experience into the classroom makes the content more vivid and memorable. I’ve been a part of international laboratories and projects. With this, I enrich theories and course topics through my colleagues’ latest experiments all around the world. I share concrete situations that I have faced, for instance, testing infants and adults with various neuroimaging techniques.

In my work, I’ve explored language development, dyslexia, and autism spectrum disorder; and this experience allows me to guide students through the important ethical aspects related to studying human individuals in a variety of contexts.

30

DISabroad.org

By the end of the course, students are able to discuss the main theoretical perspective in affective neuroscience, integrate the different levels of emotion processing, and analyze the impact of emotions on cognitive and neural processes.

From the lab perspective, students gain first-hand insight into scientific methods by conducting an experimental paradigm from A to Z. They learn to conduct a literature review on a specific topic, formulate a research question, and design an experiment to answer it, while taking into account ethical aspects. Importantly, they analyze their data, present, and discuss the results. We are in constant discussion to develop critical thinking and constructive reflection skills on experimental settings, ethical issues, and scientific challenges.

TUNE INTO A DIS WORKSHOP Maria Carlsson is a professional singer and an alum from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (KMH). Hear more about her hands-on course Songwriting Workshop: Swedish Pop Music.

“This course is my dream course and I am loving teaching it!”

How do you bring your background to the classroom when teaching?

Since I am a musician, a performer, and a music teacher, I teach from a wide perspective making sure all the students get what they need to develop their music skills. I have a lot of experience working in a master class, which is a great opportunity for the students to work from their own level, learn, and get inspired by each other. This course is my dream course and I am loving teaching it!

Tell us more about your course.

The students get to try out variety of playing and writing of music. It is fun to see how students help and learn a lot from each other. Most of the time when I come to class, the students are already there playing and practicing - and the same when the class ends. That is truly the best feeling for a teacher!

Your students wrote their own songs and performed them during the End of Semester Showcase. What it was like to see them perform?

To see them put together a concert like that was truly amazing. But I must say, every week was wonderful because of their engagement and creativity. The students all came from totally different backgrounds.

Some have been writing and playing music for a long time, and others wrote and performed their first song this semester.

DIS is located in the same building as the Royal College of Music (KMH). How do DIS students interact with the music students just down the hall?

The collaboration between DIS and KMH is growing. In my course, DIS students get to work with KMH students in a songwriting project. In this project, DIS students record their own music in brand new studios and learn how to produce it in Logic with help from KMH students. All of the students were very happy with this collaboration and I think this is a great example of cultural exchange.

KMH ranks as number six in performing arts universities around the world. DIS and KMH students integrate, share lunch in the cafeteria, join in on sports activities like yoga and evening activities like pub nights. The school offers about 360 free concerts every year in all different genres and there are a lot of exciting music events going on all the time. If you are interested in music, it’s a great opportunity to study side by side with Sweden’s next generation of professional musicians.

Q &A LIVING IN A [HOLM]STAY Landers, Bucknell University Living in a Homestay on the island of Lidingö, Landers explains why living with local hosts has made for a unique four months abroad.

Tell us about your Homestay.

My host family consists of a mom, a dad, and three sisters. The oldest sister is currently studying abroad in Kenya! The other two girls are 16 and 14.

Why did you choose to live in a Homestay?

I thought that this would be the best way to become integrated with Swedish culture. I wanted the chance to try classic Swedish meals and improve my language skills. Also, I was hoping for younger siblings, because at home I don’t have any younger siblings. Finally, I really just wanted a comfortable living place that I could call my home.

What is one of the biggest cultural difference you have discovered?

How important dinner was. With my Homestay, everything is made from scratch, and sometimes, more than one person pitches in.

The conversation around the dinner table is lively and everyone is involved – no one is on their phones. It’s been a great way for me to connect with my host family.

What is something you or your hosts initiated in the first week together that was a good icebreaker to get to know each other?

The first full weekend I was here, my hosts took me ice skating on a lake near to where we live. My family is super athletic so they were all incredible skaters but one of my host sisters stayed with me as I clung on to her, and together, we skated around the lake! Although initially terrifying, it got me out of my comfort zone and made me bond with my family.

What is your favorite small moment you shared with your family?

Sometimes if the girls and I don’t have a lot of work, we’ll turn on a movie and by the end of it, the whole family will be gathered around the screen. We’ll share snacks and candy. It’s a small and pretty normal moment, but one that’s really special to me.

“My Homestay is, without a doubt, my favorite part of studying abroad.”

Have you gotten to know your neighbors?

The Studentboende is an amazing opportunity to get to know your fellow DIS students and local Swedes at the same time. In most cases, DIS students live in doubles which is a great way to make friends in a low commitment sort of way. On my floor alone, there are at least eight local students going to various universities around Stockholm. It’s been awesome to have conversations, learn a bit of culture, get help with my Swedish homework, and even get some Swedish food tips. I couldn’t see my time in Stockholm anywhere else than here!

What do you do together?

Recently, I was invited by my Studentboende neighbors, Jonathan and Clara, on an excursion to a park in Hornstull. It’s this old industrial area that’s had this massive new resurgence and is where the youth of city go to hang and enjoy their metropolis. It was the first day it got above 65 degrees, and people came out in droves to eat, drink, and do whatever else they do with people they like. I had a complete blast and got to know some Swedes!

That same night, I went with some other neighbors to a small beach to see the Northern Lights, which felt like a once in a lifetime possibility.

There’s something about a watery breeze on a quiet night. We didn’t get to see the lights, but we got to see a whole new view of the city. It was a great night.

What do common spaces look like in a Studentboende?

It’s a space to decompress from the day while making dinner with new friends. There is a massive communal kitchen and dining space where I’ve seen intimate conversations over a one-on-one dinner, or massive dinner parties. There’s also a TV room with some cozy seats for watching shows together. I know a few people who got dragged into marathons of Black Mirror and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

How is the cooking for yourself going?

If you’re living at the Studentboende, you’re going to be making your own meals. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need. The price of making food is highly mitigated by DIS with a stipend to a local grocery. It doesn’t cover everything, and while Sweden can be expensive, you can find pretty cheap ingredients. Pasta with a little meat sauce has been a true resource of good cheap eats for me this semester.

Q &A

“Being a part of this team has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone.”

SWISHING IN SWEDEN Kayla, Skidmore College After four months of playing with the Kungsholmen Basketball team, we asked Kayla about her experience of the culture, language, and people she met on the court.

Why did you sign up for the team?

I play basketball for Skidmore. I knew that I wanted to play basketball to stay active during my time away from the school season. I also thought it would be a great opportunity to meet locals and get to know their culture further, especially in a sports setting.

Tell us about your team.

The club team is in a competitive league with players from 20 to 30. I’m the youngest on the team, and it is cool to see how so many of the girls are in great careers while still playing competitive basketball during their spare time!

What has it been like to play with a team of Swedes?

At first, I faced challenges of being a part of a new team as the only American. It’s different playing with girls who speak a different language. A lot of the basketball terminology spoken on the court and the social conversations between each other are challenging to follow. However, as I went to more practices and played in my first game, the team made it easier for me to adjust.

The team also speaks English; the girls and the coach do a great job translating and adjusting their game to include it. The girls are very friendly, inclusive, and are always open to help.

Has this team added to your semester abroad and living in Stockholm?

I really enjoy that I can participate in something that I do back in the U.S. and make it a part of my lifestyle in Stockholm, but in a Swedish way. For instance, I commute to practice and games by train and find myself becoming more and more used to commuting because I have plans outside of DIS. Being a part of this team has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone by being directly a part of a Swedish team environment. I can learn more about locals and their culture, which has been great because a big part of studying abroad is getting out of the American bubble and exploring the city further.

SMÖRGÅSBORD SUNDAYS Anna Rose, Oberlin College Before the semester began, Anna Rose mentioned her love for radio in an introductory letter to her Homestay. Little did she know, this would actually lead to creating her own radio program.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Anna Rose found a way to volunteer by sharing her passion and utilizing her local network, and Kayla by attending the DIS Activities Forum. Once you are in Stockholm, don’t be afraid to ask around and seek out new opportunities in creative ways! »»DIScoverstudyabroad.org

How did you find out about Stockholm College Radio?

Are there any challenges?

My host dad actually found it! We researched it together, and he figured out how I could apply. One of the things I missed most about my home university was the radio station, so I jumped on the opportunity to do radio in Stockholm.

There is still a bit of a language barrier between me and some of the other DJs. Being new to the station, I’m not familiar with all of the protocols and events. People are extremely kind and considerate, but I’m still confused a fair amount of the time.

What has it been like working alongside local students?

How is the experience of joining a community and working alongside local students?

I work with a combination of students and community members. I also get to hear the differences between universities here and back home.

Walk us through your program.

So my show is called Smörgåsbord and it features Scandinavian, Russian, and German rock, metal, and industrial music. My preparation has two steps: research and playlist. I’ll add music by new bands I like as well as some tried and true favorites. I need to have about an hour and ten minutes of music ready to go each week.

I love it! I get to go to a part of the city I’m not familiar with, meet new people who are all totally different from each other aside from their love of radio, broadcast to a whole new audience, and introduce people to the music I love. On the most basic level, I’ve gotten a radio show out of it, but I also have a new social circle composed of Swedish students and residents, and I’m really enjoying that!

For the actual show, I’m in the station. I have my computer hooked up to the switchboard. I give commentary (i.e. terrible jokes) to go with each song, as well as information about the bands, historical facts if relevant, etc. I play a few jingles to promote the radio station. It’s a great time.

“I got to live in a foreign country, experience a new culture with new friends, and study Forensic Psychology, a course I couldn’t find anywhere else.

DIS took us out of the classroom every week to learn hands-on from professionals in the field. That was not my typical college classroom experience.

On top of that, we traveled on a week-long Study Tour, and my class went to Glasgow and Edinburgh in Scotland, which I was absolutely thrilled about!”

Scandinavian Crime Fiction Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

Literature.

Why is Scandinavian crime fiction so popular? Is it the terse language or the Nordic landscape? Is it that the protagonists are anti-heroes, feminists, or outsiders? What makes these novels so appealing? In this course we study Nordic crime fiction in which the most fantastic murders take place, dark secrets are exposed, and the validity of the Scandinavian welfare state and lifestyle is questioned.

The aim is to help each student gain the experience of being an active participant in the Swedish society rather than just a tourist passing by.

Prerequisite: Must speak a Scandinavian language.

Swedish Politics and Society Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

International Relations. Political Science. Sociology.

This course provides you with a broad-ranging knowledge of Swedish politics and society, exploring the basis of Swedish political culture and national identity, the political system, and the roots and challenges of the Swedish welfare state.

The emphasis is on the dynamic relationship between laboratory research and bedside application with the purpose of providing optimal patient therapies. You learn how research results guide clinical therapies, and vice versa. Doctors and scientists provide real-life examples of translational medicine practices and give you exposure to analyzing and developing diagnostic tools and treatment protocols.

Prerequisites: One year each of biology and chemistry at university level.

Note: Please be aware that the course does not provide regular medical training corresponding to that of medical students and does not include shadowing of doctors or physical examination of patients.

Biology. Pre-Medicine/Health Science.

This course provides you with insight into the molecular and cellular events involved in tumor formation, progression, and metastasis. You learn about the clinical aspects of different types of cancer, diagnostic procedures, and the specific therapies (surgery and various oncological treatments). Examples of molecular, genetic, and other biological events related to cancer etiology, symptoms, and targets for cancer therapy are given in addition to other clinical aspects. Related topics are presented, such as cancer research methodology and its strengths and limitations, psychosocial perspectives of cancer diagnosis and palliative oncology and supportive care. Emphasis is on the correlation between the molecular basis of cancer and its clinical implications.

Prerequisite: One year of biology at university level.

Vikings, The Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

History. Literature. Religious Studies.

This is a course on the history, culture, and society of the Vikings.

First, you study the history of the Vikings as reflected in medieval texts and poems from the Viking Age (approx. AD 800-1100). You also examine Viking religion and mythology. In the second part of the course, you look at Viking expansion, their colonies and conquests, relying on historical documents and literary sources to provide insight into the Viking world. Finally, you focus on the Swedish Vikings - their forays to the East, settlements in Russia, and what made them different from the ‘Western’ Vikings.

Ways of Seeing: Storytelling Through Photography Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

Communication. Photography. Visual Arts.

Photographs tell stories in ways words cannot, and this class invites you to fully immerse yourself in Swedish life and tell stories with your camera. Together, we utilize photography as a means of making sense of your time abroad and reflecting on your life experiences in general. You engage with the medium of photography, critically analyze examples of photojournalism, and learn about the theories and historical tradition that your photos reference. Note: This course focuses on telling stories through pictures, not on photographic technicalities. You need to bring your own camera.

Prerequisite: Bring a camera. It is recommended to bring a digital camera other than a phone.

Note: Please be aware that this is not a technical photography foundation course.

Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

International Relations. Political Science.

Terrorism and counter-terrorism have been on everybody’s mind since 9/11. However, terrorism didn’t just appear out of the blue on that horrifying September day. This course is a study of terrorism – its causes, aims, and forms – and of counterterrorism measures introduced by the international community and individual states. The course examines the implications of terrorism for international politics in the 21st century.

Transgender in Scandinavia Fall/Spring. 3 Credits. Elective Course.

Gender Studies. Sociology.

Transgender celebrities such as Caitlin Jenner and Laverne Cox fueled mainstream interest in transgender lives and experiences.

But trans and queer communities have long fought for trans persons’ rights to be ‘true to self.’ This course explores the history of trans activism with a special focus on Sweden and how legislative and medical discourses change how we think about gender identities and rights. We also explore topics such as transphobia, gender-neutral pronouns, gender passing, transgender children and their families, and how race and class intersect with being trans.
