2 interesting events in February for English students...

Tuesday 9th February, 13:00-16:00 Södertörns högskola

Linus Andersson: Where technology goes to die: Electronic waste in global television news

We spent some time last term studying the problem of electronic waste. This is a chance to step back and think about how the media shapes our thinking about electronic waste. It's also a chance to check out Södertörn's Dept. of Media & Communication Studies!

If you want to come, you'll need to take the 12:10 bus from Hagaberg to Östertälje Station and then the train to Flemingsberg. You can borrow an SL card from school.

Here is a short video from 2013 of the person leading the seminar, Linus Andersson:
