    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Geschlecht; sozio-technische Imagination; menschenähnliche Roboter; Anthropomatik; Robot Companions; Küchen-Robotik; Technoscience Studies; feministische Posthumanwissenschaften; Apparate körperlicher Produktion; feministischer Materialismus; Mensch-Maschine-Verhältnisse; Genus; sociotekniska föreställningar; människolika robotar; robotsällskap; köksrobotar; technovetenskap; feministisk posthumaniora; kroppsproduktionsapparat; feministisk materialism; människa-maskin relationer;

    Abstract : Specific machines furnish the contemporary socio-technical imaginary: ‘Robot companions’ that supposedly herald the age of robots, an age that is signified by the realization of robot technologies that are taking over labor from humans in every sphere of ‘everyday human lives’. How do we want these robot companions to work and look and how do we want to live with these machines?  This thesis explores the engineering of relating humans and machines in the specific context of contemporary robotics from a queer feminist technoscience perspective.

    Abstract : The identity of dark matter is one of the key outstanding problems in both particle and astrophysics. In this thesis, I describe a number of complementary searches for particle dark matter. READ MORE

  5. 3. Playing practices in school-age childcare : An action research project in Sweden and England

    Author : Eva Kane; Håkan Larsson; Pat Petrie; Tomas Saar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Play; school-age childcare practice; action research; practice architecture; becoming; Child and Youth Science; barn- och ungdomsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Playing is a common part of children’s leisure time, and with children spending an increasing amount of this time in school-age childcare, in both Sweden and England, staff have the responsibility to facilitate play. The way play is conceptualised by staff may lead to different aspects of play being facilitated. READ MORE

    Abstract : This dissertation explores the image of the ideal home in Sweden, an idea closely bound to the spatial dynamics of building norms and the outfitting of the domestic household, from the 1950s through the 1960s. By examining official, commercial, and consumer-cooperative ideals of housing and home, I attempt to understand and analyze correlations between various visions of the ideal apartment home and the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts in which they were conceived during the heyday of the Swedish welfare state.
