1. Spatial Stories of Peace. The case of the Greater Gola Landscape.

5. Constructing a civilized wilderness. An intersectional discourse analysis of the Sierra Club 1893-1910
Kandidat-uppsats,Sammanfattning : This study investigates if and how the Sierra Club adapted complex and contradictory rationalizations to legitimize their authority in wilderness and civilization.
