Queer employees are experiencing heteronormativity in the Swedish workplace. The aim of this thesis is to examine how queer lives are limited at work by the social norms regulating sex, gender and sexuality. The object of this study is an international Swedish industrial company where I have conducted interviews with queer employees. From a poststructural standpoint I am conducting queer research
Gendered violence against woman and children has been in existence and predominant in various societies for a long period of time with its intensity varying from one factor to the other. Many nations around the world including Ghana in West Africa have measures and directives to mitigate of the persistent social menace and possibly eradicate it towards sustainable welfare and development for indiv
This thesis aims to examine gender norms in parental leave praxes and attitudes towards earmarked paternity leave. The starting point is a forthcoming EU directive on work-life balance for parents and carers that will implement earmarked paternity leave in Denmark by 2022. The empirical data consists of nine semi-structured interviews with six new, first-time parents (three couples). The study set
This work examines prostitution practice-policy divide in Lithuanian legal system. Prostitution law in Lithuania was amended in 2005 by stipulating legal liability not only for sex selling but also for sex purchase. This shows Lithuania’s step towards more abolitionistic view concerning prostitution. However, this change does not reflect in police statistics on prostitution arrests. With this thes
This study explores a transmasculine embodiment through bodies, acts, and objects, from a new materialist perspective. The study is situated within the field of transgender studies, and the research question, ‘how can transmasculine embodiment through the materialities of the body and everyday acts and objects be understood through new materialism’, is answered through an autoethnography. Key find
The Women, Peace and Security agenda (WPS) argues for women’s rights and recognition of women’s situations in all stages of a conflict. Previous research has shown how refugee women seem to be overlooked in international legislation. Existing research considering the WPS agenda has mainly focused on issues of implementation and discourses. This study aims to explore how conceptualizations of secur
Hegemonic European discourses about muslim*women reduce the complex living realities of muslim*women to the singular of the gendered and racialized other. This thesis investigates the hegemonic functioning of these discourses and explores postcolonial and queer theoretical approaches for dismantling it. Employing Mouffe and Laclau’s discourse analysis newspaper articles from seven European countri
This thesis draws on experiences of seven informants living in Landskrona, Sweden, whom I interviewed in 2017. The informants had an on-going or recent experience of being precariously housed, under the following arrangements: a shelter, informal housing (rented without any contract), sublease, a hostel, and housing under a so-called special contract. Besides being precarious, these arrangements a
To meet the energy demands during the transition from a fossil fuel-dependent society to one powered by renewable energy, a diverse range of sustainable energy production is needed. Zn3P2 is an earth-abundant photoabsorbing material with great optoelectronic properties for use in sustainable thin film solar cells. So far, progress has been limited by the difficulties of fabricating high-quality, d

This thesis explores patriarchal sexual scripts through network analysis of data collected in an anonymous survey with a final sample of N = 1.029 responses. The aim is both conceptual and methodological insofar as the project uses Gaussian Graphical Models to develop a radical feminist point about patriarchal sexuality. For this purpose, the concept patriarchal sexual scripts is developed from ra
This thesis explores Danish social workers' sensitivity to the risk of committing microaggressions towards nonbinary clients. The theoretical framework primarily relies on microaggression theory. As a point of departure, the author developed a Microaggression Scale for Nonbinary Clients, which includes eight microaggressions that nonbinary clients might experience from social workers. The empi
This thesis explores the intertwinement between the commoning practices of an urban permaculture community garden and more-than-human relations through multispecies ethnography in Copenhagen, Denmark. By centering the lived experiences and practices of gardeners, this study learns from and illuminates real-life practices and perspectives on what it means to be entangled in the ecosystems. Through
Early childhood education (ECE) builds the base for a child’s learning and socialization. Studies prove that racism and unequal treatment are present already in early childhood education, affecting negatively on an individual’s wellbeing. Antiracism is seen as a way to act against racism and lessen inequality. Via interviews of six ECE teachers working in Finland, this study analyzes if they recog
The present thesis develops around the topic of child custody removal among migratised families in Catalonia, Spain. Child custody removal is a common practice from Childcare: it takes place when the State assesses that the best interest of the minor is to remain a part of their family. In 2020, a group of mothers who currently live in Barcelona and have migrated from non-European countries starte
This thesis focuses on the experiences of Christian women in the Netherlands regarding their religion, faith and daily lives – especially within the (envisioned) family. Through Bible study discussions and individual interviews, 11 women shared how they navigated the traditional systems at work within each of these spheres, how they negotiated their own understandings of each and how they would ch
Refugee women are particularly at risk of having their sexual and reproductive health and rights compromised due to a high unmet need for contraception. Through fifteen individual interviews in Pagirinya refugee settlement, Northern Uganda, this thesis documents the gendered structures regarding contraceptive usage among South Sudanese refugee women and how they negotiate these structures. The the
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how queer students in Danish upper-secondary schools expe- rience and navigate their school environments and how this is influenced by institutional practices. As such, this thesis adopts a dual perspective on queer students by investigating experiences of and agency within school environments, in the form of how they choose to respond to situations of dis-
An exploration of alternative approaches to addressing gender-based violence/harms (GBV/H) as a phenomenon in Ireland and the UK, often articulated as a formation of ‘rape culture’ in its normalisation of these forms of harm and power dynamics, manifesting in social, political and legal spheres. In an attempt to tackle the root causes of GBV/H, this research examines the specific harms through a
