In Fall 2022, the course 'Cooperating around crises in Sweden and the USA: Problem solving via digital technologies' (7.5 credits) was given for the first time. The course is a distance course and is given in collaboration with Augustana College in the United States. The course compares the different ways that the United States and Sweden have faced challenges relating to, for example, politics and democracy, economy and labour, diplomacy and foreign policy, environmental sustainability and climate change, public health and pandemic response.
