Based upon theories founded on social constructionism, and criticism raised against these theories, this study aims to present a more complex perspective on non-heterosexuality from what has earlier been presented in Swedish lesbian, gay, bisexuality and transsexuality research. Fourteen semi-structured interviews with non-heterosexual women were analyzed using a discourse analytic approach. Four
The current trend in democracy assistance approaches has made the core of democracy essential to study. Democracy today must grow from within?yet supported from the outside. International donor agencies and donor recipients call for ?homegrown? strategies. The question that arises is how this correlates to the theories of liberal democracy. The overall important principal of democracy is to genera
Abstract Authors: Emelie Karlsson Ånhed and Ellinor Wisjö Title: Collaboration – Maybe, maybe not? Supervisor: Christina Erneling The aim of this study was undertaken with the aim of examining if there is any working collaboration between schools, social services, child/youth psychiatry and the police in the chosen community. We have not implicated a survey with pre-chosen answers, as we feel giv
Vi ser idag en samhällsutveckling där medborgare i allt större utsträckning tappar förtroendet för formella politiska organisationer, vilket ställer högre krav på nya strategier för att främja medborgardeltagande. Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer med tjänstemän och engagerade medborgare, med koppling till Malmö stads initiativ områdesprogram Herrgården, skapa en större In today’s society we see a development where citizens are losing their trust in formal political organizations. This calls for new strategies with the purpose of promoting civic participation. Through qualitative interviews with local government officers and engaged citizens, connected to the City of Malmö’s initiative områdesprogram Herrgården, this study aims at creating a greater understanding
With increasing migration to urban areas, Kenya is a country in change with new and challenging problems. Nairobi has a high population growth but a far from equal socio-economic development. As Nairobi continues to grow, so do the slum areas within the city and the slum Kibera has grown to be one of the largest in Africa. Due to the large economic differences within Nairobi I suggest that some pe
In socials insects, exploration is fundamental for the discovery of food resources and determines decision-making. We investigated how the interplay between the physical characteristics of the paths leading to food sources and the way it impacts the behaviour of individual ants affects their collective decisions. Colonies of different sizes of Lasius Niger had access to two equal food sources thro
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between individual leaders’ career trajectories and organizational structure and identity in Italian civil society organizations (CSOs) active at national level. The analysis in this qualitative study draws on two sets of data, semi-structured interviews with leaders on their career trajectories and their understanding of what it takes to become
The aim of this study is to explore the effects of fathers’ experience of parental leave on their attitudes towards existing gender roles and division. Many studies have claimed that fathers’ parental leave may hardly eradicate deep-rooted gender divisions between men and women, and fathers’ care-giving is a temporary phenomenon during their parental leave. However, this study demonstrates that ge
Photovoice is an increasingly popular research method across disciplines due to its flexibility and capacity for generating rich data. This article argues that while its practical virtues are abundant, the theoretical contributions of photovoice to qualitative research are just as important. We argue that photographs can act as boundary objects that enable collective sensemaking at multiple stages
Gräns (Border) (2018) is an adaptation of a short story by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist (2006). The film retains large parts of the literary plot as well as its focalization through the troll-protagonist Tina/Reva. At the same time, Border introduces significant modifications. I argue that by expanding the plot to include a number of new elements and amplifying Lindqvist’s strategy of ‘a s
This thesis engages with the motherwork of racialised migrant mothers in Sweden’s racialised suburbs. It employs theories of racial geographies, particularly black women’s geographies and motherwork to investigate the articulations of motherwork in space. Deploying a black feminist lens on empirical material from a Swedish-Somali mothers’ group engaged in community activism, the thesis argues that
The aim of my research was to study the implementation of the UNs Convention on the Rights of the Child on different family centers in Sweden. I wanted to examine if the family centers had policies concerning the Children’s Convention that affected their daily work, and if not, how they managed the implementation through the daily work. The study used a qualitative method with semi structured inte
This writing assignment is a study about the two fashion collaborations: Balenciaga x Crocs and Gosha Rubchinskiy x Burberry, which were launched during Paris Fashion Week and Goshas SS18-show in Russia, in 2017. These collaborations have been assessed to be created unequally by Vogue Magazine, but the question is if they really are. Vogue believes that the partnerships are not created evenly, sin
This thesis explores how climate-related environmental changes intensify women’s unpaid care work in southwestern coastal Bangladesh and examines how women simultaneously experience vulnerability and agency within these everyday experiences. Drawing on Feminist Political Ecology (FPE), complemented by concepts of gendered vulnerability and relational understanding of power, the study investigates
Suicide rates among Indigenous populations remain disproportionately high in many postcolonial contexts, yet the structural and gendered dimensions of suicide vulnerability remain underexplored. This thesis examines how suicide vulnerability among Indigenous populations can be understood through a decolonial feminist perspective, using Greenland as an empirical case. Specifically, the study analys
The darknet cryptomarkets marked an evolution in the drug trade by providing technological anonymity and security for both sellers and buyers. Together with their surrounding forums, they form an ecosystem where participation and access to its safety and harm reduction benefits depend on digital capital, a resource that is not equally available to all. This study examines how digital capital influ
