2. Frankenstein; or, A Multimodal Strategy to Teach Othering in the Context of Swedish Upper Secondary Education : An Analysis of Othering in the Story About Frankenstein and His Creature, from a Multimodal Perspective
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för humaniora och samhällsvetenskapSammanfattning : The curriculum for Sweden’s upper secondary schools emphasises that specifically exclusion should be prevented, and that equality between all humans should permeate the education.

Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för lärande, humaniora och samhälleSammanfattning : This study examines the theme of hybridity in Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre and Jordan Peele’s film Get Out.

5. "I Am Home" : Architecture as the antagonist in The Haunting of Hill House and The Castle of Otranto in relation to madness
Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap (from 2013)Sammanfattning : The purpose of this essay is to evaluate to what extent Hill House and Otranto castle are main antagonists in The Haunting of Hill House (1959) and The Castle of Otranto (1764) respectively in relation to how madness is described and the effect that the buildings have on the deterioration of the characters’ mental states. To do this I explain in what way the main characters Eleanor and Manfred are portrayed as being mentally unstable, and then how the portrayal of the locales in each novel further affects the symptoms that they experience, particularly through the lens of anthropomorphism.
