Klassiska traditioner mötte moderna inslag i årets doktorspromovering

Inför ceremonin fick Inger Ekman och de övriga promotorerna stöd av bland andra Gunhild Vidén, professor i latin, för att klara av de ceremoniella fraser på det klassiska språket som ingår i uppdraget som promotor.

– Promoveringen är universitetets viktigaste akademiska högtid och det var en stor ära att få vara promotor för Sahlgrenska akademin. Jag tycker att Göteborgs universitet skapat en traditionell och högtidlig promovering, men den är samtidigt modern och tillgänglig. Alla latinska fraser översättes till svenska på textremsor på de stora monitorerna så att alla kunde hänga med, berättar Inger Ekman, som också var promotor vid kreeringen av jubeldoktorerna som skedde några veckor tidigare.

Unika nya doktorer

Som promotor var Inger Ekman noga med att se var och en av de över åttio nya doktorerna i ögonen, och att få dem att känna sig sedda och unika när de kom fram för att ta emot sina insignier. En av doktorerna var dock extra speciell för henne, hennes dotter, Nina Ekman.

– Med åldern har jag blivit mer blödig. Jag trodde jag skulle gråta, men jag lyckades hålla masken när jag gav Nina hennes diplom. Under banketten efter promoveringen kunde jag glädjas vid samma bord som Nina och övriga familjen, säger Inger Ekman.

Liksom Inger Ekman forskar Nina Ekman om personcentrerad vård. Hennes mamma har dock inte varit inblandad i arbetet med avhandlingen, mer än att hon läst den. Avhandlingen presenterar en observationsbaserad metod för att mäta hur personcentrerad en verksamhet inom hälso- och sjukvården i praktiken är, och den belönades med priset Årets avhandling vid Institutionen för vårdvetenskap och hälsa. Nina Ekman fortsätter nu sitt arbete med att testa verktyget i praktiken på Östra sjukhuset.

Lyfte sällsynta hälsotillstånd

Under ceremonin promoverades även Anders Olauson, initiativtagare till Ågrenska Stiftelsen, till hedersdoktor vid Sahlgrenska akademin. Under Anders Olausons ledning har Ågrenska utvecklats till en viktig knutpunkt för forskning och utbildning vid Sahlgrenska akademin inom området sällsynta hälsotillstånd, med fokus på bland annat pediatrik, barnkirurgi och klinisk genetik. Anders Olauson var också under flera år engagerad i Centrum för personcentrerad vård (GPCC) som representant för den europeiska patientorganisationen ”European Patient Forum”.

Totalt hedrade Göteborgs universitet denna gång cirka 160 nya doktorer, hedersdoktorer och pristagare. Avhandlingarna som lagts fram handlade till exempel om komplikationer vid diabetes, mödravård söder om Sahara, psoriasis, det post-imperialistiska Storbritannien, AI-baserade metoder för att studera antibiotikaresistenta bakterier och perspektiv på studieresor till Förintelsens minnesplatser. Även jubeldoktorerna var inbjudna att närvara vid högtiden.

Universitetets studenter var i enlighet med traditionen universitetets representanter som marskalkar och fanbärare i processionen. Göteborgs universitets symfoniorkester, en jazztrio och solister från Högskolan för scen och musik ramade in högtiden med vackra musikinslag.
