1. Complexity Theory and Physics Education Research The Case of Student Retention in Physics and Related Degree Programmes
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : This thesis explores the use of complexity theory in Physics Education Research as a way to examine the issue of student retention (a university’s ability to retain its students). University physics education is viewed through the concepts of nestedness and networked interactions. READ MORE

2. Doing Physics - Doing Gender An Exploration of Physics Students' Identity Constitution in the Context of Laboratory Work
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : In Sweden today women are greatly under-represented within university physics and the discipline of physics is also symbolically associated with men and masculinity. This motivates in-depth investigations of issues of physics, learning and gender. READ MORE

3. Reasoning with thermal cameras Framing and meaning-making in naturalistic settings in higher education
University dissertation from UppsalaAbstract : In this Licentiate thesis, framed by the Resources framework and Social semiotics, I explore how students and instructors, investigating thermal phenomena with IR cameras, come to conceptually and epistemologically frame the naturalistic settings they participate in. Additionally, I look at how they productively employ resources , what barriers they encounter while reasoning about the thermal phenomena and how the semiotic resources of the IR camera relate to the framing and resources employed in their investigations.
