Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis examines women’s upward class mobility in a Swedish context, with particular focus on notions of class, gender, race, Swedishness and sexuality. The thesis analyses qualitative interviews with 16 upwardly mobile women. In the analysis the women’s lived experiences, contextualized through structural processes, are in focus.The women’s educational success seems to be crucial in their understanding of how they were able to move out of the working class. The analysis suggests that being duktig (good, capable and efficient) is central in the women’s understanding of their upward class mobility. Further, the analysis shows that racialization and notions of Swedishness clearly structure the women’s experiences of upward class mobility in different ways.I argue that the women’s need to “escape” from working-class positions must be understood by highlighting the complex processes of inequalities based on notions of class, gender, race, Swedishness and sexuality. Moreover, contrasting dynamics within common stories of “class escape” suggest the possibility of using such narratives as entry points: not only into the complexities of social location in present-day Sweden; but also the complexities of what is required in order to move through social space.

Living with Privileges. : The Politics of Belonging among returning Swedish migrant women
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What are the gendered aspects of Swedish return migration? About 15.000 – 20.000 Swedes emigrate every year. Presently, up to 550 000 Swedes live abroad and most Swedes chose to return to Sweden after having lived a period abroad.This makes Swedes the largest immigrant group to Sweden. This paper investigates re-constructions of national identity and gender among Swedish migrant women returning to Sweden after living abroad. Drawing from participant observations and individual interviews with women who can be described as an economically privileged group, gendered and class hierarchies in contemporary migration are discussed.The aim of this paper is to develop an intersectional understanding of Swedish women’s narratives of return migration. What kinds of connections are made between return migration and notions of gender and Swedishness? How do Swedish women experience re-integratation, in relation to norms and values of gender equality in the Swedish society?The paper explores the gendered dimensions of return migration and develops theoretical discussions on belonging. In order to understand these questions, I argue that the analysis of women’s narratives about return migration can be developed using feminist and postcolonial theory in general and the concept of belonging in particular.This involves linking the individual narratives with larger societal processes; the lived experiences contextualized through structural processes are in focus.
