1. An essay on the discursive state of Sustainable Food Transitions : A discourse analysis of an experimental food company’s marketing material, the “Liberation of Protein Production”
Magister-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Industriell teknikSammanfattning : The thesis' purpose is to investigate the discursive state of sustainable food transitions by examining how Industry, as exemplified by an experimental food company namely Solar Foods at the forefront of the field, communicate and add to this discourse, as observed in their marketing video series Liberators of Protein Production, as well as how it reflects hegemonic discourses, chiefly seen to the amalgamated actors Government and Populace. Discourse theory is used and established as an admittedly austere methodological apparatus as well as analytical framework to collect data and map the discursive landscape, meaning what discourses are communicated and their relations to each other as well as said hegemonic discourses.

2. Opposing ‘green’ extractivism: Voices of resistance in the case of the Gállok iron mine, Sápmi
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/HumanekologiSammanfattning : Embedded in a history of global colonial capitalism and the system’s crisis ridden tendencies and fixes for capital accumulation, extractivism increases globally.

3. “End of the world, end of the month, same struggle”: On depoliticized transitions and emancipatory sustainability transformations - A case study of The French Citizens’ Convention on Climate
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUSSammanfattning : Reflecting an emerging trend in democratic innovation to tackle complex socio-ecological challenges, the French Citizens’ Convention on Climate (CCC) was initiated in response to climate protests and the Yellow Vests movement to define measures for achieving a socially just 40% reduction in GHG-emissions. Approaching the CCC as both an outcome and site of hegemonic struggle, I apply social movements theory and document analysis methods to investigate its genealogy, policy proposals, influence on decision-making, and evaluate its potential for sustainability transformations.

4. On the Silk Road with Giovanni Arrighi
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate School; Lunds universitet/Master of Science in Global StudiesSammanfattning : This thesis explores contradictions, inadequacies, and competing formulations within Giovanni Arrighi’s theory of systemic cycles of accumulation (SCAs) as a Kuhnian scientific paradigm.

5. A wind of change in Germany: From local opposition against wind energy towards the national social movement Vernunftkraft
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUSSammanfattning : To reach the targets of the Paris Agreement and reduce its CO2 emissions, the expansion of wind energy on land as part of the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) is of major significance for Germany. Yet, these sustainability endeavors are under serious attack due to a multitude of protesters that oppose wind energy efforts and unite under the label ‘Vernunftkraft’ to resist the energy transition.
