Kentucky Daze – current affairs guest performance in February

What happens when we meet the people we would rather avoid?

Bli med til hjertet av USA, rett før presidentvalget i 2024. Med humor og sylskarpe observasjoner utforsker Kate Pendry egne holdninger, politiske skillelinjer og vår trang til å være «på den riktige siden». Forestillingen er en monolog med en nerve som utfordrer oss til å lytte, være nysgjerrige og se mennesket bak meningen. Uten å gå i konfrontasjon.

This weeks editorial

Dear everyone!

Is there really no one who wants to promote themselves or a good colleague to the faculty's teaching award and/or research award? Within the deadline, there was only 1 proposal for the best PhD work – it's hard to believe that there aren't more who deserved an award! Unfortunately, we in the management do not know everything about everyone, so help us find good candidates we can nominate!

Check my K2nytt editorial from January 23 for the criteria.

The new deadline is Sunday 8.2.
