The poetry of Edith Södergran had a major influence on literary modernism in Scandinavia. The poems, and the person behind them, continue to intrigue. The authorship is divided into three periods; the second period is associated with the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche. In addition, several of Södergran’s earlier poems have been interpreted as inspired by Arthur Schopenhauer. In this thesis, I ex

Providing adequate climate finance, meaning funding for mitigation, adaptation or loss and damage, has been very high on the global policy agenda recently. The political economy and ecology behind it are much more complex and morally multidimensional than the mainstream finance world likes to present it though, which results in grave colonial injustices, international debt crises, deepened global

The figure of scenarios is frequently used in present-day climate science and plays a prominent role in the architecture of the IPCC Reports. In this work, I undertake a philosophical and critical investigation into the ontological, epistemological and temporal modalities of the figure of scenario.

As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform

When Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in the Israeli-occupied West Bank in 2022, news of her death made headlines worldwide. She was a prominent broadcast journalist for Al Jazeera, who was covering an Israeli military raid when she was shot in the head and killed. Palestinians and Al Jazeera were quick to hold the Israeli military responsible for her killing, but in We

In an era of climate emergency, considerations of justice are increasingly gaining traction. The unequal exposure to climate vulnerabilities across the European landscape has created a North-South gap in adaptation, which is examined through the critical cases of Sweden and Greece. Drawing upon Manners’ (2002) Normative Power Approach to climate justice, the research speculates the EU’s promot

After the #MeToo movement in 2017, a widespread feeling that women’s rights have gone too far has emerged in Western patriarchal societies. In this context, women’s believability is (again) heavily contested, mainly through social media. The present study critically examines how Gen Z women negotiate believability through their engagement with TikToks about the Depp v. Heard trial. This defamation
