Denna studies syfte är att belysa hur kvinnligt och manligt framställs i nya bilderböcker som riktar sig till barn i förskoleåldern, om de förmedlar stereotypa genusmönster eller utmanar rådande ideal. Syftet är även att undersöka pedagogers i förskolans medvetenhet om genus och barnlitteratur. För att uppnå syftet har sex bilderböcker analyserats utifrån genusperspektiv, och intervjuer med sex förskollärare och lärare i förskolan har genomförts. I studien har det framkommit att de analyserade bilderböckerna både utmanar och befäster stereotypa könsmönster. Starka och aktiva tjejer finns det gott om, vilket även tidigare forskning styrker.

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka diskursen om urbanitet i tidskrift Arkitektur mellan åren 1989-1994.

I denna uppsats undersöks hur användarna på det virtuella nätverket facebook väljer att framställa sig själva samt vad som ger social status därpå, och detta ur ett genusperspektiv. Facebook är ett socialt virtuellt nätverk som baserar dig på relationer förankrade utanför internet, och har på en mycket kort tid nått en stor spridning. Facebook är därför en social arena som möjliggör nya möjligheter men även begräsningar i presentationen av jaget. Uppsatsens resultat baseras på en innehållsanalys av statusuppdateringar och bilder från facebook, som analyserats utifrån relevant sociologisk teoribildning. De resultat som framkommit ur analysen tyder på att den framställning som görs av användarna på facebook är en idealiserad och ytlig sådan, där båda könen strävar efter att framstå som populära, framgångsrika och lyckade.
