- What makes an academic? Is it their unyielding devotion to research and teaching, their tendency towards a hermitic existence? Or does it have more to do with their socioeconomic privilege and racial profile? Are academics today any different from what society has always known them to be? How homogenous is the group of academics? Historically, academia was populated by men from the upper classes, often somewhat similar to each other. Over time, structures and procedures were established to ensure both scientific quality and academic exclusion. This chapter deconstructs the myths surrounding academics and the lives they lead within academia. Through shards of broken mirrors is the reader encouraged to look at a group of misfits that are the odd one out in most academic contexts that defy common classifications. Misfits that would like to devote only 40 working hours to academia instead of their whole being. Misfits that use the “wrong” theoretical lenses, unpopular methods, or undesirable contexts. Misfits that don’t fit in by matter of race, ethnicity, sex, or social economic class. Misfits that have found their misfitting family and hold on for dear life.

The mass composition of cosmic rays measured with LOFAR
- 2017

Ingår i: RICAP16, 6TH ROMA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS. - : EDP Sciences.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- High-energy cosmic rays, impinging on the atmosphere of the Earth initiate cascades of secondary particles, the extensive air showers. The electrons and positrons in the air shower emit electromagnetic radiation. This emission is detected with the LOFAR radio telescope in the frequency range from 30 to 240 MHz. The data are used to determine the properties of the incoming cosmic rays. The radio technique is now routinely used to measure the arrival direction, the energy, and the particle type (atomic mass) of cosmic rays in the energy range from 10(17) to 10(18) eV. This energy region is of particular astrophysical interest, since in this regime a transition from a Galactic to an extra-galactic origin of cosmic rays is expected. For illustration, the LOFAR results are used to set constraints on models to describe the origin of high-energy cosmic rays.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper, we study the relationship between human beings, landscapes and ma- terial culture. We review previous research within the post-processual turn and the new material turn, which have moved away from the problematic view that sees material culture solely as acted upon, and the landscape as a passive arena where events take place. However, even though we consider it to be significant that the focus has shifted, we see a danger in viewing the landscape and material culture purely as a visual ideology, a human cognitive construction, which has prevailed in the post-processual turn, as well as seeing landscape and material culture as primary agents on a symmetrical axis with human beings, which prevails in the new material turn. Instead, we would like to move away from these dual categories by focusing on a dialectic relation based on the transmission of stories and human engagement with material culture and landscapes. Here, we apply memory studies with a particular focus on how activities and habits in the landscape shape and enforce memories, as well as how the landscape and material culture can form chronotopes, narratives combining spatial and temporal dimensions, which in turn motivate and influence human activities. Our case studies to make this point are gathered from Bronze Age rock art in Scandinavia as well as from war monuments in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our primary argument is a fluid (opposed to static), multi-temporal approach to landscape and material culture, where the events taking place are to be traced in both spatial and temporal directions. However, it is important to note that the landscape does not store memories and it does not freeze events. It is solely through human engagement, activities, and reflexion that the landscape and material culture form narratives that are carried on in an ever-changing, multiple and highly context-dependent way into the future, by constraining the variety of possible per- ceptions and streamlining experiences.

Cosmic ray and neutrino measurements with LOFAR

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- LOFAR is a new radio telescope being built in the Netherlands. It can detect cosmic particles by measuring radio pulses from air showers and by searching for radio pulses from particle cascades in the moon. The high density of radio antennas in the core and the excellent calibration will make LOFAR an unique tool to study the radio properties of single air showers and thus test and refine our theoretical understanding of the radio emission process in them. In addition LOFAR will be able to observe the moon with high sensitivity at low frequencies and search for particles interacting in the lunar regolith. This will give it unprecedented sensitivity to cosmic rays or neutrinos at energies around 1022eV. Triggering for both detection methods means detecting a short radio pulse and discriminating real events from radio interference. At LOFAR we will search for pulses in the digital data stream either from single antennas or from already beam-formed data and pick out real events from pulse form data. In addition we will have a small scintillator array to test and confirm the performance of the radio only trigger, and to provide additional measurements for the air shower reconstruction and analysis.

A Liberalistic Handling of New Social Risks : Danish Experiences from Three Decades of Social Policy Reforms

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The welfare state can be regarded as ‘an expression of institutionalized solidarity’ (Stjernø 2004: 338). Indeed, institutionalized solidarity has been ascribed to the Nordic welfare states, whose origin and maturation have been strongly associated with Social Democratic ideology (Esping-Andersen 1990). Yet, recent decades have seen reforms that have made observers wonder if some of the Nordic countries are departing from the Social Democratic model. This chapter, using Denmark as a case, aims to discuss to what extent the handling of new social risks incorporated into social policy complies with the political ideology of liberalism.

Exclusion and Marginalisation of Immigrants in the Danish Welfare : Dilemmas and Challenges
- 2006
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The objective of the article is twofold: 1) to give an empirical picture of the state of affairs with regard to socio-economic and wider socio-cultural and political inclusion of immigrants in the Danish welfare society; 2) to discuss and theorise over the links and possible dilemmas posed by the politics of redistribution and the politics of recognition with the Danish case as a point of departure. In a comparative perspective, the Danish welfare state and the ‘Nordic Welfare model’ are in many aspects – redistribution, unemployment, poverty reduction, gender equality and economic competitiveness – regarded, if not as an ideal, then at least as a practical example of a society in which a comparatively (e.g. compared to the US and UK) high socio-economic equality and social citizenship standard is successfully combined with high market economic efficiency. However, with regard to the political discourse (right-wing anti-immigration populism has emerged since the nineties), legal rights and wider socio-cultural and socio-economic inclusion capacity of immigrants and refugees, the ‘rosy’ picture of the inclusive character of the Danish welfare society has been seriously challenged in recent years. Stricter policies on immigration have been implemented, and the Danish social security and employment policy measures in relation to immigrants and refugees have been changed. On the one hand, these changes have been driven by a strong ‘work first’ and ‘dependency culture/incentive’ discourse which has led to a reduction of the duration and level of social benefits and increased poverty among immigrants. On the other hand, other policy changes have pointed towards a more inclusive direction in such fields as education policy, active labour market policy measures and in innovative empowerment programmes in deprived urban districts.
