France legalised same-sex marriage (mariage pour tous) in 2013. In theory, it also allows a recognition of gay and lesbian families, as the social parents can now adopt their spouses children, thus becoming themselves official parents. However, same-sex families existed prior to that law. Through interviews with French gay and lesbian parents, I focus on two aspects of their family life: the way t

The sexual assaults reported on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Cologne and the reactions towards it have changed political and public opinion on the issues of migration, gender equality, and sexual violence in Germany. Based on theories from postcolonial studies, feminist studies, security studies, approaches on collective trauma, and emotion studies this thesis analyzes ‘Cologne’ as a trauma which has en
This study explores the usage of Instagram by queer women and non-binary people within the context of divulging intimate details of one’s mental illnesses on the platform. Situated within a framework of Foucauldian ‘confession culture’and the radical feminist concept of ‘the personal is political’ amongst others, this research uses interviews and autoethnography to understand and contextualise que
This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have
This paper attempts to combine queer and posthumanist theories in order to re-think the figure of Jesus and challenge the anthropocentric readings of art. The site of the analysis is the phenomenon of Ecce Mono, the restored fresco in the small town in eastern Spain which gained popularity on the internet in summer 2012. The mechanisms of playing down the non-human agency in art are studied with t
Since the birth of the industrial revolution, there has existed a fear of becoming redundant and unemployed due to technological development. However, this has not been the case, but the last decades have instead seen the surge of income inequality. This has been linked to the growing technology bias towards skilled workers. This paper studies if the interactive effect of technological development
The thesis explores the transformation of everyday spaces into spaces of resistance through “supported action”. It is based on semi-structured interviews with eight organisations fighting for reproductive rights and justice in Ireland. A diffractive analytical method is employed to identify intra-actions of space, bodies and objects in the transformation of politically produced and capitalist spac
This thesis is a critical reflection on the metanarratives that are often employed to describe ‘Nordic exceptionality’. In particular, this thesis will look into the anniversary project of ‘Finland100’ as an example of these narratives and approach it as a political project that promises belonging. Narratives surrounding the anniversary will be discussed through a deconstructive narrative reading,
This study explores the ways in which digitized forms of affective labor among ‘mommy’ bloggers effectuate biopolitical production of ‘life’ as a marketable commodity. Situating the research in a context of a neo-liberal re-structuring of the global order and dissolving biopolitical state boundaries, this study captures the transformation of ‘life’ and its quotidian needs and capabilities into a t
Trans*(sex/gender) is an increasingly common phenomenon of the contemporary world. Psychology, Feminist, Queer and Transgender studies have suggested various interpretations of trans* experiences. Departing from certain assumptions that notions of sex and gender are either authentic or performative, these disciplines have established worldwide the tenet that trans* is medically pathological or soc
The critical pedagogy theory was applied to the analysis of the influence of Ukrainian school textbooks on gender stereotypes reinforcement. School textbooks were studied in action and as actors in the educational system that influence pupils’ views on gender equality and stereotypes.

Commonly, air pollution is treated by the European Union (EU) and its member states as a structural problem with technical, one-size-fit-all solutions. The EU has the ambition to follow the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals , Agenda 2030 , in which, for example, gender equality is highlighted. Yet, the legislation on toxic air does not explicitly mention how they aim to achieve social
