De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue.

“End of the world, end of the month, same struggle”: On depoliticized transitions and emancipatory sustainability transformations - A case study of The French Citizens’ Convention on Climate

Reflecting an emerging trend in democratic innovation to tackle complex socio-ecological challenges, the French Citizens’ Convention on Climate (CCC) was initiated in response to climate protests and the Yellow Vests movement to define measures for achieving a socially just 40% reduction in GHG-emissions. Approaching the CCC as both an outcome and site of hegemonic struggle, I apply social movemen

En trovärdig identitet: Migrationsdomstolarnas praktiska trovärdighetsbedömningar i asylmål med sexuell läggning som skyddsgrund

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att utreda hur migrationsdomstolarna i praktiken avgör huruvida asylsökande uppfyller kraven för att få uppehållstillstånd. Enligt svensk rätt ska varje person som känner välgrundad fruktan för förföljelse på grund av sin sexuella läggning få rätt till asyl. Det är dock den sökande som har bevisbördan för att göra sin flyktingstatus sannolik. I asylmål är ofta den sökanThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how the Migration Courts in practice determine whether an asylum seeker meet the criteria to receive asylum. Every person who feels well- founded fear of persecution due to their sexual orientation has a right to be granted asylum, according to Swedish law. It is however the asylum seeker who bears the burden of proof to make their right to refugee statu

Through Participatory Activist Research in collaboration with the Climate Land Ambition and Rights Alliance (CLARA), this thesis investigates how to challenge the corporate appropriation of NbS in the Net Zero narrative. Throu

Active stabilisation of a micro-sized fibre cavity using tilt locking to enable quantum operations on single ions

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will

‘Can we talk about redesigning the fashion system without challenging capitalism itself?’ A Critical Discourse Analysis of Circular Economy in the Fashion Industry

The fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions and has significant sustainability problems. To reduce those, a shift towards a Circular Economy is promoted as a holistic approach to system change. In order to show how the discourse, as opposed to this claim, reproduces the dominant structures of the fashion industry, a Critical Discourse Analysis is applied. Taking a political ec

Introducing degrowth to socio-environmental movements in the United States: A case study of the Sunrise Movement and Democratic Socialists of America

In a country with a large historical and current share of emissions, recent climate inaction and political upheaval have disallowed substantial social-environmental reforms from being endorsed. This thesis critically examines the current cycle of contention in the United States by classifying the Sunrise Movement and the Democratic Socialists of America as social movement organizations through the
