- In The Beautiful Risk of Education, Gert J. J. Biesta (2013) describes contemporary Western educational systems as a landscape of control and assessment produced by "a desire to make education strong, secure, predictable, and risk-free”. Against that “strong” view, Biesta argues for a ”weak” one, focusing on the unpredictable, the unknown—i.e., the risk—as a primary feature of an education worthy of its name. Education, says Biesta, isn’t just qualification and socialisation, but also subjectification, which is a social event of recognition and responsibility. Such events, which according to Biesta are crucial to a democratic society, are suppressed in the dominant, strong views and practices of today’s learning industry, but can be promoted by a weaker attitude, where the risk of education is embraced as a beautiful one. What part, then, can the reading of literature in education play if we accept Biesta’s argu-ment? Or, to put it in another way, what is the use of literature in a beautifully riskful education? In our paper we will discuss this question in dialogue with Rita Felski’s much debated manifesto Uses of Literature (2008), which – on the basis of a problematizing de-scription of how literature is commonly conceptualised in literary studies and education, with a suspicious, critical eye – focuses on how and why literature ’actually’ is read. What can be said about the uses of literature put to the fore by Felski (recognition, enchantment, knowledge, shock) in relation to “weak” education and subjectification? And what more needs to be said to counter the instrumentalisation of literature studies?

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Midwives have the responsibility to strengthen normal birth and promote breastfeeding; this challenge also includes women with chronic illness, such as type 1 diabetes. The transition to motherhood in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes is influenced by their constant struggle to achieve normoglycemia and negative feelings such as stress, anxiety and hopelessness are present. Aim: To describe the design of a woman-centered web-support for pregnant women and new mothers with type 1 diabetes. Method: A web-support has been developed using participatory design. A research project management group had the responsibility of steering the project forward. Different stakeholders including, midwifery, medical, nursing and target group expertise participated in the development. The web-support is implemented through a randomized controlled trial. Result: The developed web-support consists of three parts: 1) Specific information about pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood in relation to type 1 diabetes, where the challenge is to balance the core values of normal childbearing with diabetes related issues. 2) A self-care diary, including a device for documenting and evaluating blood glucose levels, insulin doses, food intake and physical activities. This enables the woman to keep in control of her own health. 3) A forum for peer support through communication between women and mothers in pregnancy and early motherhood. This enables sharing of similar experiences and of strategies to handle daily life. Clinical relevance: Well-being in terms of joy of childbearing, birth and motherhood could be achieved by addressing diabetes related health risks and complications in a manner that emphasizes the normality of being pregnant, giving birth and breastfeeding. A balancing act between focusing on potential risks and normal pregnancy related processes.

- Background In the struggle to achieve normoglycemia during pregnancy, women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) alternate between mastering their situation and feeling enslaved. Caregivers not only have the responsibility of optimising the women’s biological probability of delivering healthy children, but also of supporting them during their transition to motherhood. In order to establish breastfeeding and simultaneously control blood glucose, the mothers require extended post-partum support. The aim was to describe the study design of an on-going randomized controlled trial evaluating a web-support program for pregnant women and new mothers with T1D. Methods The developed web-based support is being implemented through a randomized controlled trial in which women with T1D in early pregnancy are randomized to either web-based support in addition to usual care (IG) or usual care (CG). A sample size of 160 is required based on the two primary outcomes: a general wellbeing scale (W-BQ12) and a diabetes empowerment scale (SWE-DES) to reach a statistical power of 80% with a significance level of 0.05. Results The web-support consists of evidence-based information, person-centred self-care diaries and an online social community. Outcomes will be measured in early pregnancy (baseline), about five weeks before expected partus and at two and six months after partus. Conclusion The unique contribution of this project is the development of a specially designed web application for mothers with T1D which is expected to increase the women’s personal resources, including knowledge, and thereby strengthen their autonomy during pregnancy, breastfeeding and early motherhood.

Empowerment and Stigmatization: Patient Organizations, Gynecological Cancer and Changing Identities

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Gynecological cancer (GC) is easily seen as a shameful low-status cancer and is often associated with stigmatizing ideas about sexual lifestyle. This stands in contrast to a prevailing cancer survivorship discourse of the empowered, optimistic and heroic cancer survivor. Patient organizations (POs) work to change how GC is perceived by improving support for involved patients and their relatives, and by influencing research, media and policy. In this presentation, I present an ongoing online and offline ethnographic study on GC POs in Sweden and in the UK. The project’s aim is to gain knowledge about how GC POs challenge and/or reproduce ideas concerning what it means to be a GC patient and how they enact, negotiate and represent their cause (what they are fighting for). This focus enables insights on POs’ individual and organizational identity formation processes, including possible cross-national differences and gender and sexual politics involved. To gain knowledge about how POs work, POs’ activities are observed, key figures are interviewed and information material is analyzed. By combining cancer survivorship studies and PO studies from medical sociology and STS, the project hopes to push a scholarly discussion of cancer patient identity beyond a dichotomy between empowered survivors and stigmatized victims.
