Interaction is an integral part of all music. Interaction is part of listening, of playing, of composing and even of thinking about music. In this thesis the multiplicity of modes in which one may engage interactively in, through and with music is the starting point for rethinking Human-Computer Interaction in general and Interactive Music in particular. I propose that in Human-Computer interactio
We are currently living in the information age. Our social media news feeds are constantly filled with updates from our friends and family, but also with news and findings from all around the world. With these massive information flows, it is becoming harder to fact check. Actors, such as Russia, have used the new information environment to their advantage, by spreading disinformation campaigns.

This thesis researches a perceived paradox between the Swedish government's reluctance to identify their foreign policy as feminist, and the simultaneous production of an inclusion plan that implements feminist and queer perspectives. The application of a feminist perspective on Fairclough's three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis aims to investigate how nationalist and femi
The climate change is affecting small island developing states to the amount that the surface of Tuvalu might disappear and the country therefore risk to lose its sovereignty (Pacific Small Island Developing State 2009, p. 10-12). By investigating environmental security through climate displacement this thesis will conduct a case study of Tuvalu. The theory of ecofeminism and intersectionality wil
It is projected that by 2050 two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities. There is a need for well-planned cities that can handle the rapid population growth. The focus of most studies has been on the people living in the area, whereas the role of the built environment has not received much attention. Changes in the physical environment are, however, pointed out as one of the stra
Degrowth scholars have been criticised for focusing too much on theory and macro-level of analysis, giving less attention to actual degrowth practices that happen at the local level. This thesis aims to make a contribution to this second field of degrowth research. Drawing on a practice theory approach, the objective of the study was to find whether degrowth practices and ideas have the potential
The modernisation of the Global South is a complex and often overwhelming task. However, one of the most cross-cutting issues is often overlooked. The arena of energy poverty – specifically electric poverty in rural areas and how state policies tackle this problem - is one that often discussed in the wider development discourse. By answering the questions ‘How is the problem of access to electrici
Social sustainability is an increasingly addressed aspect of urban planning projects. The concept of social sustainability is by many perceived as vague and broad, which mainly derives from its complex constitution. The meaning and constitution of social sustainability is hard to define, and large amounts of research aim to clarify its definition. As the theoretical knowledge regarding social sust
This thesis research analyses the role of local and regional governance in fostering the circular economy, using Uusimaa and Päijät-Häme – both being regions in Finland – as study cases. The main inquiry is to understand the role along the seven causal factors that were identified as relevant for this study, which are captured by the notions of i) interpretation and congruence of the circular econ
Parking is an essential part of the current transportation system and the infrastructure developed for the use of private cars. Parking policy has preserved unsustainable mobility patterns by providing excessive amounts of parking. This makes it an interest of urban planners to ensure that new parking policy facilitates for a sustainability transition in urban mobility. The aim of this thesis is
The aim of this thesis is to further explore the relationship between the establishment of public transport and gentrification processes. There have been various studies showing the importance of public transport as a contributing factor in providing access to work and other important institutions in urban areas. However, recent studies have also shown that the establishment of public transport in
How does anti-tourism affect support for the EU? This question has gained a newly found relevance in recent years, as anti-tourism protests have appeared in many European cities with high levels of tourism. Despite this relevance, some elements of these protests have not received as much attention as they deserve. This thesis will aim to fill one of the gaps in the literature: how anti-tourism soc
When talking about gender equality work in public sector in Sweden two words come to mind, ‘gender’ and ‘mainstreaming’. Gender mainstreaming is Sweden’s official strategy to reach the national gender equality goals. Despite its popularity the strategy has received criticism for being too fixated on process and thus mainly focusing on methods, tools and policy instruments instead of addressing the
In the past few years women’s empowerment and gender equality initiatives have been under increasing pressure to measure their impact. This thesis explores the stakeholders’ experiences with the monitoring and evaluation practice with a case study of a women’s fund that provides grants to grassroots women’s organizations in South Africa. The study is based on previous research, the grassroots deve
The aim of this thesis is to interpret and analyse how migration has played a role in the European Union’s enlargement process in the period of 2014-2018. By undertaking theoretical and methodological concepts from Reinhart Koselleck, the study takes a conceptual historical approach to answer the question: What conceptual development has migration undergone within the European Commission’s annual
At the turn of the century a new situation on the international energy market emerged and the European Union is now facing a growing number of energy challenges. Climate change, import dependency, growing global competition for energy supplies and increasing risks of energy supply disruptions has made energy security the dominant element of European energy policy. The demand for a common European
A project is a temporal organization commonly used in private companies to organize workload. In recent years, projects have also become a way of organize the public sector. One explanation of projects’ increase in popularity is the values; controllability and flexibility. Financial support from the EU and from the state is also distributed to project organizations. How does this way of organizing
