Smørrebrød

This has been one long Monday, starting with a run through sleet and snow at 4 am, followed by six hours of thesis guidance, some speed grading of exams and then an evening at the theatre in Halmstad to listen to the new university outreach event called “Two researchers, a drink and a smørrebrød”.

Tonight, my colleague Linda talked about her research on bureaucratization and the apparent paradox, why despite decades of ostensibly free-market reforms, our society has become more bureaucratic than ever before.
