1. Invisible voices : understanding the sociocultural influences on adult migrantsʼ second language learning and communicative interaction
Abstract : This dissertation is a qualitative study exploring the sociocultural influences on adult migrants’ second language learning and the communicative interaction through which they use the language. Guided by a theoretical perspective based on the concepts of life-world, habitus, social capital, symbolic honor, game, and the idea of the interrelatedness of learning and using a second language, this study aims to understand how migrants’ everyday life context, attachments to the home country, and ethnic affiliations affect the motivation for and attitude towards learning and using Swedish as a second language.

2. THE INVISIBLE FOOT : Survival of New Art Ideas on the Swedish Art Arena - An Autoethnographic Study of nonTVTVstation
Abstract : This thesis is an autoethnographic case study of an avant-garde art project – nonTVTVstation - which achieved broad international success but met several difficulties on the Swedish art arena and eventually ceased operations after 10 years. The puzzle the thesis addresses is: Why did the nonTVTVstation, despite its international success, constantly run into trouble in Sweden and eventually fail to survive as a new art concept?
