Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kapitlet behandlar lokal och regional identitet i gränstrakterna mellan Frostviken i nordvästra Jämtland och Lierne i Tröndelag, Norge. Med hjälp av djupintervjuer, deltagande observation och autoetnografisk metod urskiljer författarna kollektiva berättelser med anknytning till lokal och regional identitet på vardera sidan om nationsgränsen. I Lierne finns en positiv syn på den egna kulturen och en stark identifikation med bygden. Frostviksbornas självbild är också positiv, men har påverkats i negativ riktning av den svenska offentliga urbana diskursen.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to make a contribution to recentering practice- and practitioner-oriented issues in Roma education studies. Gaps can be observed today between conditions of educational work in practice and the ways education is understood in mainstream academic discussions, compounded by the fact that educational workers in the field have limited access to academic environments. Also, as a subject dealing with minorities, education for Roma and Roma communities tends to occupy a marginal position in academic departments of Education. Inversely, in Roma studies, focus often lies on culture or history, and education is mainly considered through the lens of identity. This means that many important experiences in Roma educational work remain silent, and significant aspects of practices are not sufficiently shared across contexts. In this paper, experiences from education projects in Albania and Sweden are presented and considered against the background of Roma education policies in these countries generally. An analysis is made of the ways these projects directly or indirectly connect to local academic structures. Finally, suggestions are made of potential strategies for developing practice- and practitioner-driven research in this area, to make relevant experiences more accessible across linguistic and national borders.

Teaching in the 'edgelands' of the school day : The organisation of Mother Tongue Studies in a highly diverse Swedish primary school
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Power and Education. - : SAGE Publications. - 1757-7438. ; 7:2, s. 239-254
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To promote attainment and inclusion, Sweden offers tuition in migrant pupils’ mother tongues as a regular school subject. However, the formulation of learning aims is problematic, and resources allocated to the subject do not correspond to ambitions expressed in steering documents. This case study presents an analysis of the organization of Mother Tongue Studies at a highly diverse urban primary school, based on interviews with teachers and head teachers. The practical organization of Mother Tongue Tuition affects how mother tongue teachers and pupils are perceived, but also potentially provides opportunities for empowerment and educational development. Results indicate that in the investigated case, such opportunities are not exploited, placing mother tongue teachers in a state of continuous structural stress, while limiting the forms their teaching relationships can take. Additionally, scheduling the school subject Mother Tongue Studies at the ‘edgelands' of the school day contributed to further marginalizing languages taught as mother tongue and minimized interaction with class teachers.

Psychometric Assessment
- 2022

Ingår i: The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Individual Differences. - New York : Routledge. - 9781032219141 - 9781003270546 - 9781032219165 ; , s. 454-465
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter discusses psychometric considerations in the study of how individual differences in cognitive abilities, such as language aptitude or working memory, influence second language acquisition. Psychometrics, or test theory, describes procedures for developing tests and evaluating their suitability for an intended assessment purpose. Significant issues in test construction include item analysis, test scoring, reliability, and validity; these topics make up the main part of the chapter and they are discussed in the contexts of both classical test theory and item response theory. Importantly, it is pointed out that lack of attention to psychometric concerns may negatively impact knowledge production in the field of second language acquisition. The final parts of the chapter provide examples of how test theoretical problems have been treated in previous research on individual differences in second language acquisition, and suggestions are made for enhancing psychometric awareness in the research community.

Vilka historiska gestalter vi minns och hur vi använder oss av dem är ingen slump.Hon var bara 5 år vid olyckan, men blev 99 år gammal och dog i maj 2006. Hon blev genom tiden och med sin höga ålder, känd som den sista överlevande och som fortfarande minns katastrofen.En katastrof som innebar att hon förlorade sin pappa Carl, sina bröder Oskar och Clarence och sin tvillingbror Felix.

Patient or Citizen? Participation and Accessibility for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing People in the Context of Interpretation in Sweden
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing upon ethnographic data from two projects, this paper focuses on interpretation issues in deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) individuals’ everyday lives. A specific issue is the importance of and the ways in which interpretation services and Swedish – Swedish Sign Language interpreters shape their experiences and participation. Three themes are illustrated, highlighting tensions that facilitate or obstruct DHH individuals’ participation. The analysis shows that they are positioned as both patients and citizens. Unequal power relationships position them in passive roles, as patients, with limited possibilities to shape the interpreter services, while they simultaneously shoulder major responsibility for its smooth functioning. The mundane nature of the analysis also highlights how they are accorded the position of citizen within the same services.
