1. Bad Bitch, White Witch : A Study of the Crossover Star Personas of Supermodel-Actors Devon Aoki and Abbey Lee
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/FilmvetenskapSammanfattning : While it is very common for supermodels to make the occasional foray into cinematic performance, and some of them manage to turn these forays into full-time careers in acting, it is very rare that supermodel-actors are afforded any academic attention.

5. Att föreställa sig världen En jämförande studie mellan två världslitteraturteorier
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för litteratur, idéhistoria och religionSammanfattning : This thesis takes interest in a theoretical turn in world literature studies; from a focus on extratextual aspects, such as the global circulation of literary works, to intratextual aspects, such as literary works’ world-reflecting and world-creating abilites. I analyze two recent theories within this turn: the Warwick Research Collective’s Combined and Uneven Development and the postcolonial researcher Pheng Cheah’s What is a World?. LÄS MER
