The results of the study have also explored how the views on children and childhood may have has highlighted the divergent approaches and perspectives of Luther and Erasmus regarding the view of children and childhood, as well as the influence they exerted during the early modern period and the development of curricula.

This thesis examines the controversy surrounding the renaming of a street for Martin Luther King, Jr. in the city of Zephyrhills, Florida in 2003-2004. By paying close attention to the language deployed during a series of contentious city council meetings, the thesis traces how Zephyrhills' divisive history and neoliberal spatial order kept white residents from grappling with the city's legacy of racism, inequality, residential segregation, and the memory of the Civil Rights movement. Ultimately, it reveals Americans' limited capacity to recognize and discuss race in the post-Civil Rights era. / History

When the most powerful man in the march to freedom fails to break segregation codes in 1963 Birmingham, Alabama, the last person anyone would expect to make Dr. King’s dream a reality is a 10-year-old girl known as the "Civil Rights Queen."

The purpose of this project is to investigate the often neglected research concerning the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his scholar-activism. This project is intended to look for evidence of intellectual leadership within King's writings in an effort to classify King within the Scholar-Activist paradigm in Africana Studies. Further, the aim is to examine Martin Luther King, Jr. from the critical and centered Scholar-Activist paradigm of Africana Studies based on an analysis of his writings to determine whether his works should be included in or excluded from the canon of Africana Studies. Molefi Asante, Maulana Karenga, and Terry Kershaw, three of the most respected scholars in the field of Africana Studies, seemingly ascribe differing levels of status to King's accomplishments and value within African American history (Asante, 1990; Karenga, 2002). Such a debate grounds this project. Does King measure up to the Scholar-Activist paradigm? Whether he does or does not, should the paradigm be expanded and redefined to include King, or is it acceptable as is? King's six book length writings demonstrate a consistency of themes, which include eight major foci: (1) Economic Justice; (2) Racial Equality/Integration; (3) Existentialism; (4) Social Activism/Service; (5) Theology/Activism; (6) Revolution/Leadership; (7) Black Ideology/Liberation/Black Theology; and (8) Anti-Militarism/Anti-Poverty. This author concludes that diversity of methodological approaches within Africana Studies is normal and that King's writings should be considered for inclusion into its canons. King meets all of Terry Kershaw's requirements for inclusion in the scholar-activist paradigm. / Master of Science

I denna magisteruppsats studerar jag vilken vilja till nattvarden och vilken nattvardssyn gudstjänstdeltagare i Västerås stift har. En digital enkät har genomförts där gudstjänstbesökaren helt anonymt har fått ge sin bild av viljan till nattvard samt sin nattvardssyn.  Uppsatsen bygger vidare på ett teoretiskt ramverk som skapades i och med en kandidatuppsats vid Högskolan i Gävle HT 2023 (Federley & Karic 2023) och tidigare undersökningsramar om nattvardssyn samt kompletteras med en betydande kyrkohistorisk del om nattvarden för att sätta nattvarden av idag i ett historiskt perspektiv. Resultatet visar att viljan till nattvarden är stor i Västerås stift. Det finns dock en risk att nattvarden blir en rutinrit samt att det finns en underliggande katolisering i synen på nattvarden hos gudstjänstbesökarna. Uppsatsen pekar också på diskrepansen i undervisningen mellan de två sakramenten i svenska kyrkan, dopet och nattvarden.
