But what is ‘nature’, and who has the right to it? The untouched landscape shaped by nothing but the earth itself is today hard to find. Human activity is close to everywhere. Even in Sarek National Park, an area of d

Osynlighetens mellanförskap: autistiska kvinnors upplevelser och tankar om normalitet och moderskap.

This thesis is about autistic women. It is about how we, as a society, construct and perceive normality and motherhood as a normative ideal for women. It is also about a dis/ability that often goes unnoticed since autism is not defined by any visible markers. Rather, autism is categorized by behaviour considered atypical through the medical gaze.

Hur upplevs arbetet med upptäckt och diagnostisering av patienter med Ehlers-Danlos syndrom – En kvalitativ intervjustudie med läkare i primärvården

Ehlers Danlos syndrom (EDS) är en ovanlig ärftlig sjukdom som bland annat kan ge överrörliga leder, töjbar hud och långvarig smärta. Det finns flera olika typer av EDS och vilka besvär man lider av som patient kan variera mycket. Långvarig smärta utgör dock ett vanligt besvär.

Online Activism and COVID-19: Conceptualising the Role of Collective Identity in Relation to Contemporary Activism Challenges
