Head of Webzine

Johanna Marie Fredrich

My name is Johanna and I am one of the editors of The Perspective’s Webzine.

Besides my passion for writing and and chatting about foreign affairs, I also seem to like numbers and graphs quite a lot as I am currently studying national economics here at Lund University. With this degree, I am probably more of a rarity among the humanity-students-dominated crowd of UPF, but what I love about UPF and the Webzine is that with our diverse academic and cultural backgrounds everyone brings in a different perspective. 

I am originally from Braunschweig a city in northern Germany. The region is known for Volkswagen and Jägermeister, but what I like the most about my city is the Christmas market in December, which I recommend everyone to visit! I have been in Lund for three years now and became active in UPF over the last year. Writing has always been something that I enjoyed a lot and when I became active in the Webzine I quickly realised that journalistic writing is something I would really like to get more into. Therefore I am now more than happy to be one of the editors of the Webzine for this operational year. 

When I am not editing or writing articles, or studying some supply and demand curves, you will normally meet me while eating Pizza with my friends, in the squash hall or on a football field practising or playing a game against a small town team from Skåne.

Joosep Raudsepp

Heya everyone! I’m Joosep and I come from the beautiful town of Tartu, Estonia. I am a third-year BIDS (Bachelor’s in Development Studies) student at Lund University. So, as a social sciences student with a deep passion for foreign affairs, geopolitics and the news.. the Webzine committee was essentially the perfect place for me. I have been on the committee for over a year now. I started off with just joining committee meetings, enjoying my fika and discussing world events. Later on, I got to writing. I submitted articles on topics such as draft evasion in Russia, Moldova’s west-east political schism, what happened to the Catalan independence movement and Ukrainian educational diplomacy. From January to June I was active as a sub-editor and fact-checker. And now I’m here as the Head of Webzine along with Johanna! If you have any questions about anything we do on the committee please just email us at webzine@upflund.se. Or even better, show up in person! We have our meetings every Tuesday at 17:00.

Some of my hobbies include… reading and discussing world events and geopolitics (surprise). Apart from that, I enjoy hiking A LOT—despite the initial shock of having to spend almost a year in the Estonian army, I discovered my passion for walking through nature with a backpack. What else, I love to travel… if money permits. Oh, and I enjoy playing computer games occasionally. Usually, I get way too into them for a few weeks and then I promptly forget about them for a couple of months. One day in the future I will finally finish playing Skyrim.
