Karin Morgan, agronomie doktor & docent
Karin brinner för ”hästsvett och vetenskap”
Karin är agronomie doktor i lantbruksteknik med inriktning på byggnadsplanering och husdjurens närmiljö. Hon studerade hästars temperatur- och värmereglering i sin doktorsavhandling ”Short-term thermoregulatory responses to brief changes in ambient temperature”. Hon är ofta anlitad som föreläsare och expert om täckets vara eller icke vara. Karin valde sin yrkesbana som teknikagronom för att utveckla såväl djurens stallmiljö som skötarens arbetsmiljö. Det har hon haft möjlighet att göra med FoU-arbetet kring hållbar och rationell hästhållning, som är ett uttalat strategiskt utvecklingsområde på Hästnäringens riksanläggningar sedan 2012.
Karin började arbeta som lektor med SLUs Hippologprogram redan 1996 direkt efter att forskarutbildningen var klar. Ett stort fokus har varit hippologstudenternas examensarbeten med kursledning, handledning och examination. Sedan 1999 har hon arbetat på Ridskolan Strömsholm med Hippologprogrammet mm och parallellt byggt upp forskningsverksamheten. Det innebär att söka forskningsmedel, ansvara för projekt, forskningssamarbeten och externa kontakter och nätverk både nationellt men även internationellt. Forskningen har inriktats på områdena Häst & hästhållning, Häst och människa samt Rid- och körkonst.
Karin har varit huvudhandledare för såväl Gabriella Torell Palmquist (klar 2017) som Linda Kjellberg (klar 2022) under deras forskarstudier. Nu är Karin biträdande handlerare för Therese Waerner (GIH) och Nina Känsälä (SLU).
