The decolonizing responsibility of a “White” girl: an autoethnographic deconstruction of Indigenous (mis)representations

None of us are immune to the heritage of colonialism. Intersecting hierarchies of dominance and oppression are perpetuated every day, from top institutions down to personal interactions. This study argues that White, Western scholars working for social justice have a decolonizing responsibility to locate themselves in this hierarchy in order to avoid reproducing it with their research.

A Volatility Based Contrarian Strategy In the German Stock Market

In this paper we investigate if the German implied volatility index, VDAX, could be used as a good sentiment indicator for a contrarian strategy. For such a strategy to be legitimate there must exist price inefficiencies in the market, which requires that the efficient market hypothesis does not hold. We compare broader index-based contrarian strategies with a buy and hold strategy in the German s

Funerary inscriptions in Pompeii. A study of Pompeian freed slaves

The habit of freeing slaves was so widely spread during the late Roman Republic an

Medborgardialog i den svenska kommunala planprocessen - En studie av medborgardeltagande med fokus på översiktsplanen och Partille kommun

Att integrera medborgarna i den svenska kommunala planprocessen är både en skyldighet och en rättighet. Enligt lag ska medborgarna få insyn i planarbetet och få lämna synpunkter eller överklaga, men i det svenska demokratiska klimatet har kommuner också en fantastisk möjlighet i att låta sig inspireras och influeras av sina medborgare. En öppen process med ömsesidig respekt och intresse kan komma
