The focus is on making both formal structures, regulations and responsibilities visible, for example the role of the university as a public institution, as well as more informal academic, pedagogical and cultural aspects of teaching in Swedish higher education.
The course is structured in three parts.

• First, a pre recorded introductory film on higher education in Sweden and issues that are particularly important to be aware of as a teacher or doctoral student.

• Second, an individual assignment in which participants observe a teacher in a teaching situation and conduct an interview.

• Third, a concluding digital seminar where the themes of the course and the participants´ experiences are discussed collectively.

The course is intented to function both as an introduction and as a forum for reflection and exchange of experiences among participants with diverse backgrounds.
