Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, we will use ethnographic data to investigate how young unaccompanied people talk about school and school life in relation to racism and administrative violence. Like Philippe Bourgois (1995/2003), we argue that ethnography is suitable to studying how oppressive structures penetrate people’s everyday life, including their emotional life. We will first address how the young people themselves talk about the value of school and education. Going to school, however, is affected by specific terms and conditions, creating obstacles related to their position as unaccompanied young students. This is first discussed in general terms, before we delve into four themes related to such obstacles and challenges: family, religion, racism, as well as expectations and adaptations. The chapter ends with a summary discussion of what we consider precarious schooling.

Social work, young migrants and the act of listening : Becoming an unaccompanied child
- 2021
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is about 20 young unaccompanied refugees who have sought refuge inEurope and how they experience and try to navigate their new situations, includingtheir contacts with social workers, friends and family members left behind.The book contains stories of powerlessness and frustration from being heldunder suspicion, from meeting authorities and abstract people of power from“the system,” or from constantly being categorized in a static category of “theunaccompanied child.” It contains stories of human meetings characterized bythoughtfulness, reciprocity and listening. This book also explores the experiencesof meeting social workers as a young migrant in Sweden. The narratives depicthow social workers can often reproduce powerlessness and frustration among theyoung people, but also how there are those social workers who provide somethingelse through the act of listening. By extension, this is a book about society,about how important it can be to reframe people and to listen to their stories,needs and wills.Demonstrating the importance of listening to the stories of young refuges, thistitle will appeal to students, researchers, community workers and social workersinterested in migration, race and ethnicity, youth studies, social work, sociology,anthropology, pedagogy and health.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we listen to young people having arrived in Sweden asunaccompanied minors, in relation to how they talk about andrelate to religion, belief and practice. There is still a lack ofresearch focusing on these young people’s own narratives andexperiences in their everyday life. This is particularly noteworthysince this category of young people, and especially those with a‘Muslim heritage’, have received increased attention both inresearch and in public discourse. For two years, we haveethnographically followed 20 young people with asylum status inSweden, who all arrived as unaccompanied minors and all camefrom areas of the world where Islam is the dominant religion. Theconclusions are that these young people both need to navigateand are affected by the current political and social contextquestioning Muslim people, and that this is the case regardless of their own personal relationship to Islam. Further, religious faithneeds to be related to its social and emotional embodiments,since it is here religious belief, shifts, changes and resistance, takeplace. Finally, we discuss how physical, temporal and socialdistance makes it possible to create other identities, and otherways of being religious or not.

Life Planning and Habitus : Opportunities and Constraints Among Unaccompanied Young Refugees in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article examines how unaccompanied young refugees in Sweden relate to and talk about their everyday lives and life plans during a time of transition from childhood to adulthood. We regard them as navigators and emotional beings embodying social situations, relationships and sentiments in their habitus throughout their lives affecting their life plans and acting to build capital in social fields. Theirnarratives show that they all have a life plan. However, disruptions and adjustmentsof life plans occur, often related to their birth families, deeply embodied in theirhabitus, to their everyday life, but also to socio-economic and political contextsboth globally and locally. Their position as young ‘unaccompanied minors’ is fragile when it comes to realizing future goals. A stable social and economic structure, stability capital, appears to contribute to possibilities of adapting to or maintaining sustainable life plans.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Värnandet av social rättvisa och strävan till social förändring kan idag låta radikalt, men egentligen är det värden som ligger i kärnan av det sociala arbetet, skriver Philip Lalander. I en tid av individuella förklaringar är ett kritiskt socialt arbete viktigare än någonsin.

Socialt arbete : rörelse, motstånd, förändring
- 2021. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det offentliga sociala arbetet befinner sig idag i ett tillstånd som innebär att det relationellt mänskliga, strukturella, förebyggande och lokalt förankrade sociala arbetet inte ges tid eller plats. Ett sådant offentligt socialt arbete får svårt att bidra till social förändring. Bokens författare, både forskare och praktiker, värnar ett visionärt socialt arbete som bygger på värderingar om social rättvisa och mänskliga rättigheter snarare än en organisering som bygger på värderingar om effektivisering, ekonomisering, individualisering och svenskhet.

Förord : Kritiska sociala arbeten

Ingår i: Socialvetenskaplig tidskrift. - Linköping : Linköping University Electronic Press. - 1104-1420 .- 2003-5624. ; 27:3-4, s. 199-206

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det här temanumret handlar om kritiskt socialt arbete. Det finns en mångfald av kritiska perspektiv inom socialt arbete, med olika teoretisk, disciplinär och metodologisk ingång. Samtidigt kan vi urskilja vissa gemensamma drag i mångfalden av perspektiv. Stundtals knyts det kritiska inslaget till kritisk teori och inte sällan till den samhällskritik som teoretiker verksamma inom den så kallade Frankfurtskolan utvecklade (däribland Adorno, Fromm, Habermas, Horkheimer och Marcuse). En annan återkommande referenspunkt är framhållandet av den kritiska reflektionen och dess potential, där socialt arbete ses som något flexibelt, ovisst och mångsidigt, vilket i sin tur förutsätter ett förhållningssätt som är rörligt (Herz 2012). Gemensamt för många kritiska perspektiv är strävan efter att göra det sociala arbetet till en aktiv kraft för social förändring, en kraft som värnar sociala rättigheter och som – omvänt – motverkar social utsatthet.
