Wilhelm von Humboldt and Education
You might not have heard of Wilhelm von Humboldt, and you might not care. But his ideas about the governance of higher education have been on the topical agenda on and off for more than 200 years. von Humboldt was something of a renaissance man. A linguist by trade, but otherwise a ubiquitous figure in…
Stock Markets- The Dow Jones Industrial Average Milestone and What it Means
Milestones. A stage or important development in something that marks just how far we have come. It is a word that con- notes achievement, struggle and great distance from where we were to where we are today. This is exactly what the Dow Jones milestone of 20,000 points reached on the 25th of January 2017…
Studentafton with Anders Kompass
Signing up for studentafton I didn’t really know what to expect – I had never been before and didn’t know much about the speaker of the night – Anders Kompass. But I was not disappointed. Before choosing to attend Studentafton all I really knew about it was that Fredrik Reinfeldt was hosted as a guest…
WILMA- Women in Lund Mentor Association
One of the reasons why Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre is one of my favorite classics is due to Brontë’s accurate, well shaped and genuine character, Jane Eyre. She is an intelligent and fair-minded young woman from the Victorian era who is constantly compelled to contend with inequality and oppression. “I longed for a power…
The End of Knowledge and Facts?
For a long time we have been told that we are moving into a knowledge based society. Politicians and businesspeople are all talking about how important knowledge is in order to develop our society into an even better place and to keep up with the increasing competition from emerging countries. Knowledge and facts are no…
Life After Lund
When arriving in Lund most students don’t think about what comes after their graduation. Three years or six terms is a long time when your attention span is the next exam or sittning. But as graduation approaches so does reality and those who don’t continue studying ought to apply for jobs. But what do employers…
Organizational Identity and History
Since milestones in our lives might have long- lasting effects on how we behave and how we define ourselves, one might draw a parallel between individual identity and organizational identity in terms of being affected by the past: organizations too have history and this might influence their identity. But what do we mean by identity…
Editorial #132
It’s been ten months since I was in the General Council of Lun- daEkonomerna, trying to explain why I would suit as editor-in- chief of Nådiga Lundtan. My strongest argument was change. Lundtan was a great magazine but I saw huge potential for improvement. The General Council bought by arguments and here I am. But…
A coffeee with Jonna and Nico
In November 1984 the first eee-days were held. The committee realised, though, that it would suit better to host the fair in the spring instead so they arranged the next fair just a couple of months later, in February 1985 and every since it’s been held at that time of the year. Since EC wasn’t…
Vice President’s Column #131
It is truly amazing how time flies. The other day I realised that it has been six months since I, and the other members of the board got our keys to Skånis and started working for LundaEkonomerna. It feels like yesterday, but when I think of everything that has happened it feels like ages ago. We…
