1. The Sounds of Pain : An ethnography of musicians living with migraine in Uppsala
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologiSammanfattning : Migraine is an extremely common and disabling disease that affects three times more women than men, and is characterized by recurring migraines comprised of disturbances in sensation perception, intense head pain, nausea, and increased sensitivity to light and sound that can last from several hours to multiple days. Currently, there are no cures for the disease, no official social services that can help a person to handle living with it, and limited studies on its mechanisms or impact on a person’s life. LÄS MER
2. On rough terrain: Islands and Violence
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskningSammanfattning : Although island disputes have returned to the geopolitical theatre on a small scale, to date, virtually no previous research on territorial interstate island disputes and violent escalation exists.

4. "No good being a witch unless you let people know" : The importance of performance in Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters
Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur (from 2013)Sammanfattning : In this analysis of Terry Pratchett’s Wyrd Sisters, I argue that performance of the witch is the most important part of witchcraft on Discworld, and, indeed, what drives the story. To underpin this position, I understand Wyrd Sisters as a work of metafiction and parody, examine witch tropes and stories on Discworld and draw parallels to the weird sisters of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
