1. Burial textiles : Textile bits and pieces in central Sweden, AD 500–800
Abstract : This thesis concerns the role and use of archaeological textiles (AT) deposited in inhumation and cremation burials in Sweden dating from 500–800 AD. The AT are studied in their burial context, including all other grave goods, emphasizing that they were as important as a source for understanding society in prehistory as they are today. READ MORE

2. Toxic Textiles : Towards Responsibility in Complex Supply Chains
Abstract : The governance of the environmental and health problems that follow in the wake of globalised trade is one of the great contemporary challenges. One of these challenges is the management of chemical pollution and associated risks, and one sector facing this challenge is the textile industry, which has complex supply chains spread across continents.

3. Radiant Textiles : Designing electromagnetic textile systems
Abstract : To regard the electromagnetic domain of conductive textiles is to unlock a realm of expressive possibilities. The underexplored area of the electromagnetic domain in conductive textiles implies that numerous computational and electronic textiles created thus far possess untapped capabilities. READ MORE

5. Radiant Textiles : A framework for designing with electromagnetic phenomena
Abstract : The design of smart, interactive, computational, and electronic textiles involves working with unknown variables that expand the tangible dimensions of textiles. Non-visual concepts such as electromagnetic fields, electrical current, computational code, and the temporal attributes of materials that exhibit dynamic qualities require that textile designers be able to perceive and manipulate domains of the textile that extend beyond its conventional forms of expression.
