- This method case study describes how we extracted and analyzed data from Twitter as part of a research project to investigate how users connected climate change to extreme weather events during 2008–2017. The paper describes how the open-source tool, Mecodify, was used as a fundamental part of the method to download data from Twitter and identify key insights through tables, graphs and machine-readable files. The paper goes into detail to describe the steps that were taken from the building the search query to analyzing, aggregating, and visualizing the data used to describe the findings. Although Mecodify facilitated the process significantly, the paper highlights some of the challenges that were confronted during different research stages and how they were overcome. The aim is to provide social media researchers with some useful insights for their own research.

Diversity as the Challenge of Democracy : A study of how the social welfare services, as a welfare bureaucracy and moral institution in society, understands and handles cultural diversity
- 2012
-
Annan publikation (refereegranskat)abstract
- Abstract Dissertation This dissertation deals with the how Swedish society is confronting the democratic challenge of fining ways to integrate individuals and groups with a diversity of cultural and religious beliefs and social practices. The ide that democracy must include all members of society is central in contemporary welfare states. In Sweden, this idea is closely related to a concept of social justice and equality. This means that this study deals with aspects of integration processes. Social service is one of the societal institutions that institutionalises the moral conceptions of how life should be lived. Therefore, its function in the integrations processes mirrors the ethos of society as a whole. The chief characteristics of a democratic state is that it represents every member of society and that it is transparent, communicative, and reflexive. But this is not easily performed. The state may exercise oppression in the form of forced assimilation through the culturally detached design of law and policy, and with the politics of diversity, minority groups may exert internal oppression of vulnerable elements within the group. In this thesis, this tension expresses The Paradox of Democracy. Social workers deal with the paradox while handling society’s moral panic regarding “other’s” traditions that are perceived as difficult to comprehend. Therefore, there investigative work is of great importance in a society that aspires to treat all citizens as equals. But the framework for such investigations is narrow and tightly controlled. A qualitative change in the scope of social workers’ ability to work in the service of communicative action within the complex areas discussed in this study could be a step towards broadening and deepening democratic practices. When the public institutions take their clients’ wishes and needs seriously and treat them as indicators of the actual needs seriously, the public institutions can build a foundation for reciprocal and communicatively anchored integration work.

Socio-Economic Background and Today’s HMEIs
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (refereegranskat)abstract
- As with higher education (HE) generally, the academisation of HMEIs has led to a quantitative increase in the number of students and a proliferation of courses and programs. Despite this, there is clear evidence that socio-economic status (SES) continues to be a significant factor determining which students choose to study at HMEIs. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how SES or class can impact attendance at HMEIs. It explores issues of exclusion and SES in higher music education (HME), focusing on both cultural and material aspects. These contribute at different stages of the process towards excluding both prospective students as well as those who to study at HMEIs.

What has crisis got to do with men and masculinities?
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the problems with talking about crisis is that the term is over-used, especially in newspaper headlines, and celebrity and sports pages. Against this, there are dire crises – of people, societies, ecosystems, and the planet. Indeed, as I write, there is threat of war in Europe – threatening the largest armed conflict there since the Yugoslav wars 1991-2001. The current threat certainly constitutes crisis.
