SASNET have granted two proposals this year. The two proposals granted was gender studies researcher Maria Tonini’s project “A new lesbian visibility? Queer women and social media in contemporary India” and political scientists Ted Svensson’s project “Divine Ganges, Profane Development: Governing Pollution, Flood, and Well-Being”. The previous call for applications in 2015 received a very positive response. One of the granted applications, by Ebbe Nordlander at the Division of Chemical Physics, Department of Chemistry, later resulted in a Swedish Research Links (SRL) grant from the Swedish Research Council for a three-year project entitled “Development of Bio-inspired Catalysts for Oxidative Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Wastewater”.
