Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Utgångspunkten i kapitlet är mina långvariga etnografiska studier om heroinerfarna i Norrköping. Jag tar avstamp i betraktelser av möten mellan forskaren och de heroinerfarna, där just möten, om de präglas av ömsesidiga erkännande, gör något med båda parter. ”Forskare som möter heroinist” blir här till ”människa som möter människa”. Styrande kategoribestämningar, såsom ”soss”, ”missbrukare” och ”klient”, eroderar då relationen utvecklas. En del socialarbetare bidrar till att skapa en känsla av mänskligt värde, att människor de möter känner sig respekterade och sörjda för. De arbetar utifrån en situerad etik, där viljan att förstå och respektera är grundläggande. Men detta sätt att arbeta undermineras av ett system där det sociala arbetet ska effektiviseras och ekonomiseras, där människor ramas om och görs till siffror och budgetposter, eller till urin i provrör som testas och berättar ”sanningen”.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Fattigdom, missbruk, kriminalitet, hemlöshet - allt tycks i dag göras till individuella problem, som om individer levde sina liv isolerade från samhälleliga och politiska strukturer. Det ses numera som närmast naturligt att människor sover på gatan och i trappuppgångar, ber om pengar utanför affären och att medellivslängden skiljer sig markant mellan olika bostadsområden och delar av landet. Men i själva verket har dessa ojämlikheter skapats genom politiska beslut. Det som mer eller mindre utelämnas i dagens socialpolitiska debatt är vad det är som orsakar dessa ojämlikheter och vad ojämlikheterna har för konsekvenser. Människor som möter det sociala arbetet upplever sig allt för ofta bli objektifierade, omgjorda till akter eller ärenden. Och allt för lite uppmärksamhet ägnas åt frågan om hur ett långsiktigt förebyggande socialt arbete kan utvecklas, med fokus på dialog, tillit och lyssnande mellan socialarbetare och klient. Förändring krävs för att de ambitioner om demokrati, solidaritet och jämlikhet som anges i socialtjänstlagens portalparagraf 1 § ska bli något mer än just ambitioner. Det som krävs är ett socialt arbete i tiden, av människor, med människor och för människor.

Hästunderstött socialt arbete - ett samtalsrum med potentiella möjligheter för ungdomar med självskadebeteenden och deras personal

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The thesis examines, through qualitative methods, the role of the horse in equine-assisted social work (EASW) as well as what facilitates or constrains the role of the horse. Specifically, should interaction be understood in the same manner regardless of which individuals that participate? The thesis is based on empirical data collected throughinterviews with eight staff members and nine female self-harming clients, aged 15–21 years, in a residential treatment facility. In addition, video recordings of the human-horse interaction of three staff members and four clients were analyzed, resulting in the additional issues addressed in a second interview. Critical dialogues between patterns and fragmentations in the narratives and video-recordings, as well as a dialogue with participants, while they were viewing videos of their own EASW sessions, led to the conclusion that adding a horse could qualitatively change therapeutic relationships. The results are presented in four articles that provide an image of the complexity of EASW. The summary chapters focus on a synthesized analysis, based on Goffman’sdramaturgical perspective and Hochschild’s emotional rules in which the concepts were applied: backstage, frontstage, impression management, stigma, emotional management, deep acting and surface acting. The analysis demonstrated that defense mechanisms are reduced when the horse is perceived as non-judgmental and therefore less intimidating. Furthermore, the analysis suggests that it is crucial that the horse is regarded as a subject, a transitional object, which can silence the inner critic and create a ‘moment of silence’ that contradicts stigmas and enablesadolescents to regulate their emotions. This leads to possibilities to be more authentic and the relationship between staff and adolescents to be perceived as more authentic. In summary, the work presented in this thesis contributes to increased knowledge about the role of the horse in opposing impression management and surface acting, depending on the high demands on staff to reach outcomes regarding communication, self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-image. The different triads consist of different liaisons, giving rise to unique combinations and the potential to avoid emotional dissonance. The quality of the relationships seems to depend on staff and clients’ attachment orientations. Keywords: Authentic, Emotional work, Equine-assisted social work, Impression management, Moment of silence, Self-harming adolescents, Stigmatization

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article we address the constructionof familiarity and distance in Swedish district courtcases, involving young men with both immigrantand Swedish backgrounds. Through ethnographicobservations of 40 trials related to street crimes, wehave found different qualities of social interaction that distinguish immigrant background and Swed-ish background cases from each other. These distinc-tions, disfavouring young men with immigrant back-ground, are built up through a series of practices and events that follow taken-for-granted behaviourand details in interaction, such as speech, laughter,choice of words to describe the accused and trust inSwedish witnesses. In conclusion, we argue for thenecessity of detailed, close-up studies of courtroom action and interaction to understand statistical find-ings of discrimination and disfavouring of certain groups of immigrants in court and elsewhere in thejudicial process.

Noise, voice and silencing during immigrant court-case performances in Swedish district courts

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article argues that court-ritual unawareness, linguistic shortcomings andstereotypical images about non-Swedish otherness impair the position and actingspace for immigrants in a Swedish district court context. Drawing on two ethnographicallyinformed research projects focused on courtroom interaction during morethan 20 trials dealing with ‘domestic violence’ and ‘street-related crime’, we claimthat immigrant voices are often silenced due to taken-for-granted practices in court.Through analyses of interviews, performances, interpreted hearings and references toa desirable Swedishness, it is argued that situations are created where immigrantparticipants may experience their possibility of being understood as limited and theirvoices as being unheard. Such conditions are emotionally draining and may result inparticipants choosing silence over stating their case. This is a problem, not only withinthe individual court case, but also for the overall legitimacy of the court system and forissues of institutional trust among citizens.

Being alone or becoming lonely? The complexity of portraying ‘unaccompanied children’ as being alone in Sweden
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Research has largely focused on ‘unaccompanied minors’ as a vulnerable group at risk of developing psychological problems that affect their health. Separation from primary caregivers is considered one of the foremost reasons for these young people’s proposed loneliness. Thus, the official and ascribed identity is that they are lonely and that loneliness is their major problem. But research has seldom given the young people themselves an opportunity to express their views in an attempt to trace the often situational, dynamic and complex nature of social and emotional life. The present article analyses how ‘unaccompanied minors’ talk about everyday life and themes related to loneliness. The authors followed 23 ‘unaccompanied minors’ during a period of a year through ethnographic observations and qualitative interviews. Results: Loneliness may occur when these young people experience lack of control in managing life and when they feel no one grieves for them; loneliness may be dealt with by creating new social contacts and friends; loneliness may be reinforced or reduced in encounters with representatives from ‘the system’; the young people may experience frustration about being repeatedly labeled ‘unaccompanied’ and they may create a resistance to and critical reflexivity towards this labeling.

Staging “Chileanness” : Ethnicity, illegal drug

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: Following a group of young men with Chilean background living in a Swedish territorially stigmatised area, the author analyses how the actors create, recreate and use ethnicity and on what structural grounds such creation is carried out. This analysis is done to provide a complex and socially constructed view of ethnicity. Method: Between 2003 and 2015, the author followed a group of 16 young men, born in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The fieldwork included interviews and participant observations in places that were important to the young men; the residential area where they lived in Sweden and the area in Chile that some of them visited during the time of the research and where they have their roots. Findings and conclusion: During childhood and adolescence, ethnic identification became a means to group identification. However, ethnic identity practiced in the street culture and the illegal economy cannot be seen as essential, but rather as something that is performed and staged in different situations, creating a sense of ‘‘Chileanness’’. Producing Chileanness helps combating emotions related to sorrow, to being poor and not feeling welcomed in the Swedish society. This ethnicity is fragile and intertwined with social class and gender.
