Environmental problems in the energy system often originate from everyday activities and choices. Everyday activities in the home are part of the private sphere that can be contested in relation to energy policies.

We now know that state formation experiences outside Europe were not merely attenuated or failed versions of the European experiences (Herbst, 2000; Hoffman, 2015; Johnson and Koyama, 2016). The diverse paths taken towards the modern state imply that existing knowledge on state formation processes can be enhanced by integrating the experiences of Africa and other developing regions.

The social-democratic-inspired “Nordic model”, with its agenda for gender equality, has been an important example for the development of political interventions to transform society but at the same time, it has functioned as an emerging gender normalising and stabilising structure. In the last decade it has also become the focus of antigender movements and ethno-nationalistic parties both as emble

The relationship between environment and migration has gained increased attention since the 1990s when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected climate change to become a major driver of human migration.

To better understand how to structure interdisciplinary education, there is a need to study and learn from programmes at all levels in the academic system. While considerable effort has been devoted into examining bachelor’s and master’s programmes, the challenges and rewards of doctoral programmes receive less attention. In this chapter, we present the LUCID Ph.D. research school as an example of

Idag lever vi i ett konsumtionssamhälle och konsumerar nuförtiden efter begär och inte efter behov. Vi tror att media har spelat en stor roll i skapandet av detta och vill därför göra en medieanalys grundad i konsumtionsteori. Vi är intresserade av att se hur julen är representerad i media och hur konsumtion är kopplat till högtiden. En avgränsning har gjorts till gratistidningen Metro, som är den
Kriminalvård i frihet, frivård, har sina rötter som ett alternativ till fängelse. Men vad är det för något? Är det ett straff? Jag tittar här på straffets karaktäristiska komponenter: tiden, rummet, observationen och pinan utifrån dels Michel Foucaults disciplineringsbeskrivningar och dels intervjuer med dömda, övervakare och handläggare i frivården.

Inequality is a many-faceted phenomenon that manifests itself in a number of ways. It shows up in a variety of contexts, for example gender, age, origin, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, class, religion and place. The presen
In public libraries there seems to be an unspoken consensus on what literary quality is. At the same time librarians are always eager to express the opinion that quality lies in the eye of the beholder. Quality is, it is said, something that you don t have to define. But at the same time it s up to everyone to decide what quality means to them. What I have been missing from the discussion in libra
A company library can only exist if it contributes to a positive result for the company. As endusers are beginning to perform searches on the Internet and have access to databases and electronic documents via their desktops it becomes important for company librarians to thoroughly think through what services should be offered to the users so that the library still contributes to the company s prof
