Using the respective theories of recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, this master thesis explores how public librarians understand the concept of social justice and how this concept relates to their daily work.

I december 2019 rapporterade Worlds Health Organization (WHO) om ett nytt virus som låg bakom flera stycken lunginflammationer i staden Wuhan i Kina. Inte långt senare konstaterade de kinesiska myndigheterna att det rörde sig om ett helt nytt luftvägsvirus som tillhör familjen coronavirus, så kallat COVID-19 (Doktor.se, 2020). Viruset spred sig snabbt över nationella gränser, vilket resulterade i
Samhället, organisationer och individer är idag under ständig påverkan av information och kunskap. För att ta vara på tillgänglig kunskap och information behöver organisationer ha ett aktivt arbete med kunskapsprocesser som i sin tur stöds av olika IT-verktyg. Uppsatsen syftar till att bygga en djupare förståelse för hur IT-konsultföretag jobbar med dessa processer och system för att hantera proje
Spindeln i nätet Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker mellanchefens kommunikativa betydelse i en förändringsprocess med hjälp av fallorganisationen Orango AB.

The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
