The course is held between 2 November and 4 December 2022.

Link to orientation map: Campus Linné 

Course introduction: Wednesday, 2 November, at 13:15-15:00 in room AS 220 with Fredrik Söderbaum. The first lecture will follow immediately after the introduction, i.e. at 15:15-17:00 (same room). 

Message from the course coordinators: The course is coordinated jointly by Fred Söderbaum and Kilian Spandler, and we have divided the lectures and seminars in roughly equal shares (although Kilian is responsible for the group work). 

There will be no written and separate course guide. Instead all information about the course is provided only on Canvas. Therefore, familiarize yourself with everything that is written here. It is worth mentioning that we have done our best to try to provide good and accessible information and develop these pages on Canvas.

Notice that there will be only one single version of the course schedule, namely the version provided in Time edit and through the weblink below. All changes will be communicated through an announcement and then changes will be made implemented in Time edit as soon as possible (but here we depend on the student expedition).
