Uppdated information: all teaching and meetings on Zoom for at least three weeks

The Swedish Public Health Agency has today, October 29, changed its recommendations to the general public in Stockholm with regard to the increasing number of cases of Covid-19. This includes, for instance, abstaining from physical meetings and visiting indoor environments where people gather. For this reason, all teaching and meetings at the Department of Social Anthropology will be held strictly via Zoom until further notice and for at least three weeks.
