1. Dark Ecology: Obscurities Illuminated
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : This study investigates “dark ecology” – an ecological theory formulated by Timothy Morton, based on an object-oriented ontology and claimed to offer a new perspective on how humans can and should coexist with other “objects” in the world in a better, less hostile way.

5. Att övertyga från orgelpallen – En retorisk studie av BWV 565
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Konstnärliga fakulteten i MalmöSammanfattning : I have often been told that composers from the baroque era used the models of classical rhetoric while they composed music.
