1. Hawkes Processes on Socialand Mass Media: : A Causal Study of the #BlackLivesMatter Movement inthe Summer of 2020
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statistik, AI och data scienceSammanfattning : In this work we study interactions in social media and the reports in mass media during the Black LivesMatter (BLM) protests following the death of George Floyd. We implement open-source pipelines to process the data at scale and employ the self-exciting counting process known as Hawkes process to address our main question: is there a causal relation between interactions in social media and reports of street protests in mass media? Specifically, we use distributed label propagation to identify such interactions in Twitter, that supported the BLM movement, and compared the timing of these interaction to those of news reports of street protests mentioning George Floyd, via the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) Project.

Magister-uppsats, Malmö universitet/Institutionen för konst, kultur och kommunikation (K3)Sammanfattning : Due to the participatory nature of social media platforms, users contribute to the narratives built around online action for social change and shape the discourse on societal topics through their participation. At the same time as social media has become a space for societal activism and participation facilitating connective action of individuals, social media platforms are ultimately, for most, owned by private companies.

5. Frihetskämpar och blodbesudlade ikoner : En kritisk diskursanalys av Linnémonumentet och Louis De Geer-statyn under 2020 års #BlackLivesMatter-rörelse i Sverige
Master-uppsats, Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för musik och bild (MB)Sammanfattning : Denna uppsats undersöker diskursen kring Linnémonumentet i Humlegården, Stockholm och Louis De Geer-statyn på Gamla Torget, Norrköping, samt diskuterar vilken betydelse skulpturerna fick under Black Lives Matter-demonstrationerna år 2020 i relation till antirasism och historiska företeelser av 'damnatio memoriae'. Med ett postkolonialt och kritiskt rasteoretiskt perspektiv syftar denna uppsats till att framhäva och analysera de resonemang som tog mest plats under debatten, centrerat kring antirasistiska och icke-vitas röster.
