    • Mesteren & døden Tolstojs besettelser i lys av Zapffes "Om det tragiske" 

      Laven, David Henrik (Master thesis, 2025)
      Tolstojs forfatterskap er preget av en livslang søken etter sannhet og Gud. Hans litterære produksjon vitner om en unik tankekraft og enorm begavelse, men samtidig finnes et tragisk anstrøk ved hele hans liv og forfatterskap. Særlig døden var evig tilstedeværende i Tolstojs liv, og han hadde store problemer med å akseptere den skjebne felles for alle mennesker – at livet en dag tar slutt. Denne ...
    • Levende eller død? En samtidsarkeologisk undersøkelse av bygningers etterliv, rivning, minner og erindring i Vardø 

      Antonsen, Tiril Johansen (Master thesis, 2025)
      Vardø er Norges østligste by og en av Nord-Norges eldste byer med bystatus siden 1789. Tidligere var dette et rikt fiskevær fylt med folk, men i sammenheng med nedgangsperioden som startet som følger av blant annet fiskerikrisen, endringer i fiskerinæringen og mer på 1980-tallet har befolkningsantallet blitt mer enn halvert de siste tiårene. Denne nedgangen preget både Vardø og store deler av resten ...
    • Solidarity for Whom? Tracing the Commodification of Asylum within the EU’s International Protection Framework 

      Sörbo, Matilda (Master thesis, 2025)
      Solidarity remains a contentious issue within the EU’s international protection framework. This became particularly evident during 2015–2016, when over one million irregular crossings at the Union’s external borders exposed significant weaknesses within the CEAS and triggered debates among Member States over where refugee responsibility should lie. In 2024, the EU adopted the New Pact on Migration ...
    • Sanctions at the Gateway: The Unseen Human Rights Costs of U.S. Policy in Iran 

      Charkameh, Hadyeh (Master thesis, 2025)
      In Iran, practicing digital rights involves contending with layers of regulation and constraint. Alongside domestic measures that influence online practices, another force compounds the pressures faced by Internet users, which is U.S. sanctions. This thesis investigates how U.S. sanctions affect Internet freedoms in Iran in interaction with existing regulatory dynamics. Originally, these sanctions ...
    • Filling the human rights implementation gap: Role of NGOs in securing reproductive rights for Ukrainian refugees in Poland 

      Ciechan, Maria (Master thesis, 2025)
      In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Poland became a major host country for Ukrainian refugees. While the Polish state implemented a range of support measures, access to reproductive rights was notably absent from its crisis response, creating a significant gap in protection and service provision. This thesis examines how non-governmental organisations in Poland have responded to ...

    • “When I look at her I don’t see anything other than my daughter” Australian fathers and their trans young people 

      Pitcher, Don (Master thesis, 2025)
      Parental gender affirmation and advocacy are central to protecting the rights and wellbeing of trans young people (TYP). However, the current academic literature provides little information about the experiences and actions of their fathers. Available academic references point largely to a distant or obstructive role, with minimal discussion and analysis of the structural factors that might be ...
    • Making sense of Extinction Rebellion Indonesia activism through a performative perspective on rights claiming 

      Alexis, Grace Lolona (Master thesis, 2025)
      One of the most common ways to shed light on injustice is through rights claiming. This study examines how Extinction Rebellion Indonesia frames its claims and mobilises strategies to contest dominant discourses and construct new political subjects. In doing so, it highlights the performative dimensions of rights claiming, that is, a dimension that is concerned with not only what is said or demanded ...
    • From Recognition to Transformation: Strengthening GenderBased Violence Reparations through DecolonialIntersectionality in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights 

      Fernandes Veloso, Jéssica (Master thesis, 2025)
      This thesis critically examines the reparation practices of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) in cases of gender-based violence, through the analysis of two emblematic cases: Cotton Field v. Mexico (2009) and Manuela et al. v. El Salvador (2021). The study aims to assess the advances and limitations of the Court’s reparation model, particularly regarding its capacity to address the ...
    • A Just Transition? Human Rights, Justice and Renewable Energy in UK Parliamentary Debate. 

      Facer, Poppy (Master thesis, 2025)
      The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy systems is necessary to mitigate climate catastrophe. However, a failure to centre justice within national policymaking processes could lead to a transition that entrenches inequalities and perpetuates human rights abuses. This thesis examines how human rights and justice are showing up in UK parliamentary debates on the renewable energy ...
    • Striving for Decent and Formal Work Opportunities: How Young People Navigate Employment in Bujumbura 

      Nsengiyumva, Betty Larissa (Master thesis, 2025)
      This research explores how young people currently in higher education or with completed university degrees in Bujumbura, Burundi, experience and navigate access to decent and formal employment. Despite formal education being widely viewed as a pathway to personal development, social status, and decent work, many young Burundians face structural, and social barriers that prevent them from translating ...
    • Mellomlederes handlingsrom i et stadig mer profesjonelt byråkrati 

      Eldøy, Svein; Sjøtveit, Elisabeth Skogen (Master thesis, 2025)
      Mellomlederes evne og mulighet til å utøve lederskap er en viktig nøkkel til virksomheters suksess. Det som var gårsdagens riktige nøkkel, passer ikke nødvendigvis i dag. Samfunnet utvikles, teknologien går videre og trender treffer og går videre. Nye krav og muligheter formes. Midt i dette står byråkratiet i sin nokså faste form, men med et mer og mer påtvunget behov for endring. For offentlig ...
    • Oversettelse av bærekraftige løsninger i offentlig sektor 

      Lysvoll, Vegard Bergstedt (Master thesis, 2025)
      Oppgaven benytter Røviks oversettelsesteori, som ser på hvordan ideer og praksiser overføres og tilpasses nye kontekster. Teorien skiller mellom tre oversettelsesmoduser: kopiering, modifisering og omvandling. Translatørkompetanse, eller evnen til å effektivt oversette og tilpasse ideer, er også sentral. I studien benyttes det en kvalitativ tilnærming, med individuelle intervjuer av fem informanter ...
    • Fragile! Please Handle with Care: Collective Care and Rehearsal of A Rights-Fulfilled Life among Feminist Activists Working for Human Rights in Indonesia 

      Muhammad Rizki, Rastra (Master thesis, 2025)
      This study takes a constructivist and ethnographic approach to examine collective care among feminist activists working for human rights in Indonesia. Thirteen activists were engaged in in-depth conversations. Leveraging the theories of practice and care, the study found that collective care emerges as a counter-culture practice against the tyranny of carelessness, which is rooted in capitalism, ...
    • Needs, harms, and liberalism 

      McLeod, Stephen K; Shaw, Ashley; Tanyi, Attila (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025)
      The harm principle entails the subprinciple that harm to others provides a pro tanto moral reason for legal or social coercion. We address a ‘scope problem’ for that subprinciple: how can what counts as harm be restricted sufficiently, without sacrificing extensional adequacy, to protect the harm principle’s liberal credentials? While recognizing the centrality of such basic liberties as freedom ...
    • Flying in Greenland: Pilot, Weather, and Perceptual Experience, An Anthropology of Human Factors 

      Strandberg, Pamela (Master thesis, 2025)
      This thesis examines preceptions of an environment defined as hostile - the ‘perceiving’ that is not limited to cognitive aspects. It is a thesis about the ways in which we see the world, not as determined, but with awareness that our experiences affect what we bring to what is in front of us, before our eyes. But it is also about the physical structure of the eye, in that we have deficiencies. In ...

    • Governing with Knowledge: User Knowledge, Epistemic Justice, and Marine Mammal Management in the Arctic 

      Husmann, Patricia Ella (Master thesis, 2025)
      This thesis investigates how user knowledge—place-based insights from hunters and local actors—is integrated into environmental governance, using the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO) as a case study. Drawing on Tengö et al.’s (2017) five-task framework for knowledge integration (mobilize, translate, negotiate, synthesize, and apply), the study analyzes NAMMCO documents and reports ...
    • The Hound, the Treasure, and the Ice: Empire Undone by Its Own Terrain Environment and Empire in Victorian Detective and Sensation Fiction 

      Parchami, Shirin (Master thesis, 2025)
      This thesis explores how nature and empire collide in three well-known Victorian stories: Wilkie Collins’s The Frozen Deep and Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four and The Hound of the Baskervilles. While these works are often read as detective or adventure fiction, they also reflect deeper concerns about British colonialism and humanity’s troubled relationship with the environment. Using ideas ...
