The empiric
Denna uppsats är tänkt att samla de fall där personer har gravlagts i romanska västtorn från tiden cirka 1050 – 1300 i det medeltida Danmark. Texten blir därmed en forskningsöversikt och en katalog rörande torngravar. Huvudfrågan med uppsatsen har varit att ta reda på om vem som helst fick bli begraven på detta sätt, om det är stiftargravar som vissa forskare påstår. Genom att väva in tolkningar a
This paper examines the difficulties that can meet an LGBT-refugee in the process of applying for asylum in Sweden. The study is based on interviews with activists and a former refugee and the result is discussed from a queer and intersectional perspective.

I den här uppsatsen studerar jag hur pedagoger på en Reggio Emilia inspirerad förskola ser på sin roll som pedagoger, samt hur eller om de ser sig själva som en del i barnens kön- och genuskonstruktion. Studien har genomförts på Förskolan Trollet i Kalmar som för en verksamhet med inspiration från Reggio Emilia pedagogiken. Studien utgår ifrån intervjuer med fyra av Trollets pedagoger. På förskolaIn this thesis I study how pedagogues at a Reggio Emilia inspired preschool look at their roles as pedagogues, and also how, or if, they see themselves as a part of children’s sex- and gender constructions. The study was conducted at the preschool Trollet in the city of Kalmar that applies a Reggio Emilia inspired pedagogy. The study is based on interviews with four pedagogues from Trollet. At th
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine if priming of norms by using scrambled sentences can affect results on an implicit test. The primed norms were justice and loyalty. In addition there was a control group. As method for measuring the result we used a SPFT-test (Sorting Paired Features Task, Barn-Anan et al., 2009 ). This test is a variation of the well established Implicit Associati

Hur presentationen av kvinnorna ser ut och hur deras situation och positionering görs av kvinnor i Afghanistan och hur detta beskrivs i tidningen Dagens Nyheter.

This will be done by studying pictures from the campaign “Komikondom”, which has been a project by the Swedish organizations RFSL (The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights) and RFSU (The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education). The pictures are chos
Denna uppsats undersöker exkluderingstender och normeringsprocesser i studentmiljön vid genusinstitutionen vid Lunds universitet. Jag har med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer kombinerat med minnesarbeten intervjuat fyra stycken studenter som fungerat som mina informanter – två som hoppat av utbildningen i förtid och två som inte hoppade av. Med utgångspunkt i norm- och klassteorier analyserar jag m
In this essay I discuss the expression ritual landscape regarding the burial and gathering site of Döserygg and its surroundings in south-western Scania, Sweden.

The demand for sex education targeting immigrants is a debated issue in Sweden.

In this essay I examine two pieces of sex education material which have been used in SFI. The main purpose is to scrutini

Articles published in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter in relation to three different cases that all take place in Haiti have been surveyed by using quantitative content analysis and qualitative textual a
Denna uppsats kommer undersöka vad Facebook har för inverkan på gränsen mellan privat och offentligt. Virtuell kommunikation gör att man kan välja att visa valda delar av sin personlighet och detta behöver inte betyda att man är ärlig i sitt framträdande. Därför valde vi att undersöka hur ens framträdande påverkas i denna offentliga miljö och vilka risker detta medför. Dessutom undrar vi varför ma
India is the home of over 1 billion people and is a mixture of ethnicities, religions, languages, castes and tribes.
