The thesis examines isolation and caritas, or charity, in The Confidence-Man as polar themes which express, respectively, withdrawal from and suspicion of the human community and integration within and appreciation for that community. Isolation is considered a negative theme; caritas, an affirmative theme.

This study of the elements of the Byronic hero in Herman Melville's Captain Ahab includes a look at the Byronic hero and Byron himself, the Byronic hero and the Gothic tradition, the Byronic hero and his "humanities," and the Byronic hero and Prometheus-Lucifer.

Life is a One-Way Ticket is a twenty-three minute documentary about jazz photographer Herman Leonard's 80th birthday party. The event took place at Rosy's Jazz Hall, a club in the uptown section of New Orleans where musicians including Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Stevie Wonder once performed. Within the documentary, I show the celebration as an analogy for the life of Herman Leonard. In short but moving passages, Herman Leonard reflects upon the nature of his longevity, the world today, and the "luck" he has had with photography. In addition to the voice of Herman Leonard, interviews with Herman Leonard's friends and family show him as both a world-class photographer and the down-toearth human being. Upon completion of the documentary, the final cut will be authored onto a DVD. This will allow for extra features, including an extended interview with Herman Leonard.

Den 1 januari 1922 öppnade det Statliga rasbiologiska institutet i Uppsala. Institutet var det första av sitt slag i världen, men kom att bli en mellanhand för den rasbiologiska gemenskapen och fler institut växte fram runt om i världen. Sverige hade sedan Carl von Linnés tid legat i framkant när det gällde att placera in djur, växter och människor i olika raser. Efter Linné följde en rad svenska forskare som också ansågs ligga i framkant i sin rasbiologiska forskning. Men ingen fick sådant internationellt genomslag i sin forskning som Herman Lundborg som ansågs vara den världsledande rasbiologen. Eftersom Herman Lundborg var en världsledande rasbiolog och aktiv inom lobbyverksamheten för att få till ett rasbiologiskt institut, valdes han till den första chefen för Statens institut för rasbiologi. / On January 1, 1922, the Swedish Institute of Racial Biology opened in Uppsala. The institute was the first of its kind in the world but came to be an intermediary for the racial biology community and more institutions emerged around the world. Since the time of Carl von Linnaeus, Sweden had been at the forefront of placing animals, plants and people in different races. After Linnaeus, several Swedish researchers followed, who were also considered to be at the forefront of their racial biology research. But nobody got such an international impact in their research as Herman Lundborg, who was considered the world-leading racial biologist. Therefore, it was natural that he should become the institute's first manager.
