Research grant approved for research on Everyday Activities in Extreme Environments!
Great news! Santa came early this year! Ragnar Söderbergs stiftelser chose to support our project on Everyday Activities in Extreme Environments the other week. This mean that the research project now have a even more stable financial basis for four years and that our work now can go into over-gear and really pick up speed. Meaning that we soon will be looking for postdocs and doctoral students to do some interesting research in the empirical areas of high-altitude mountain climbing and emergency rooms, and the theoretical areas of practice-based research, organizing and decision-making. If you are interested, or know of anyone that may be interested please contact me. (markus.hallgren at gmail.com)
Currently we are doing interviews with climbers, going through archival data on different mountains and examining video-ethnographic data from K2.
Meanwhile, here is the list of the projects that were supported (as a matter of fact our project is one of the largest that they chose to support): LIST OF PROJECTS
Here is a press statement including the project: PRESS STATEMENT
