- This paper sets out to explore the preconditions for trust formation using a comparative approach. It takes an empirical point of departure, in two longitudinal and ethnographically inspired studies in the differing contexts of Sweden and Tanzania. The comparison reveals many similarities between the contexts with regard to the influence of informal institutions, as well as the significance of categories in trust formation. Perhaps surprisingly, trust and co-operation are not as low as could be expected in Tanzania, given the inadequate formal institutional environment, but instead, the greater need for co-operation evoked entrepreneurial initiatives that enabled the creation of trust. While the Swedish small-business owners could afford their ‘tribalism’, Tanzanians created trust in an entrepreneurial way. The importance of interventions to understand the local institutional framework is highlighted and it is argued that arranging business training, or similar events, is a fruitful way to facilitate the trust creation process in development contexts.

Commissioning the University of Excellence : Swedish research policy and new public research funding programmes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In many countries, current research policy is dominated by managerialism and excellence, manifesting the aim of making universities into national strategic assets in the globally competitive knowledge economy. This article discusses these policy trends and their mirror in recent developments in public funding for academic research, with special attention to Sweden. A review of the language in three consecutive Swedish governmental research bills from the past 10 years shows a clear policy shift towards the promotion of excellence and strategic priority on the level of higher education institutions. Reforms to the funding system, especially the launch of specific strategic excellence funding programmes, are introduced to put the policy in practice. While the policy shift itself might be discursive, the changes to the funding system clearly show a determination on behalf of the Swedish government to increase strategic profiling and the pursuit of excellence in research on behalf of universities. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Conducting the Pilot Study : A Neglected Part of the Research Process? Methodological Findings Supporting the Importance of Piloting in Qualitative Research Studies
- 2019
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Qualitative Methods. - : Sage Publications. - 1609-4069. ; 18, s. 1-11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During the development of research to compare the processes and impact of inclusive education in Sweden with results obtained from a study undertaken in Ireland, a pilot study was conducted and documented. The pilot study had three aims: (1) to gather data to provide guidance for a substantive study adapted to Swedish conditions through modification of Irish research procedures and instruments, (2) to critically interrogate how we as researchers could most effectively conduct a pilot study utilizing observational and video-recorded data, and (3) to use the Irish theoretical model as a tool of analysis for studying inclusion in two Swedish schools. Although pilot studies are frequently conducted to assess the efficacy of research instruments for use in qualitative research projects, few publications have drawn upon empirical findings related to such studies. Additionally, while methodological texts recommend the use of pilot studies in qualitative research, there is a lack of reported research focusing on how to conduct such pilot studies. We argue that our methodological findings may contribute to greater awareness of the important role that a pilot study may have for full-scale qualitative research projects, for example, in case study research where semi-structured qualitative interviews are used. This argument is based on the assumption that researchers, and especially novice researchers, having conducted a pilot study will be better informed and prepared to face the challenges that are likely to arise in the substantive study and more confident in the instruments to be used for data collection. A proper analysis of the procedures and results from the pilot study facilitates the identification of weaknesses that may be addressed. A carefully organized and managed pilot study has the potential to increase the quality of the research as results from such studies can inform subsequent parts of the research process.

Östgötar - finns dom? : Om östgötska identiteter och den roll de spelat och kan spela för samhällsförändringen
- 2005
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Centrum för kommunstrategiska studier (CKS) vid Linköpings universitet är en centrumbildning vars uppgift bland annat är att främja framväxten av för kommunerna relevant forskning samt öka kontakten mellan forskarsamhället och den kommunala praktiken. Verksamheten finansieras sedan mitten av 1990-talet gemensamt av kommunerna i Östergötland samt universitetet. Under de år som verksamheten funnits har ett hundratal projekt genomförts.I samband med tillkomsten av den nya Institutionen för studier av samhällsutveckling och kultur (ISAK) togs initiativ till ett gemensamt projekt benämnt ”Östgötar- finns dom?” I detta projekt har Tema Q (Tema Kultur och samhälle), Enheten för historia, Kulturarv Östergötland, Centrum för lokalhistoria samt CKS på skilda sätt varit engagerade. Som ett viktigt inslag i projektet genomfördes under hösten 2003 en konferens med deltagande av forskare, politiker och tjänstemän. Föreliggande rapport är en dokumentation från denna konferens.Rapporten inleds med en diskussion kring vilka frågeställningar som framstår som centrala i utvecklingen av projektets fortsättning. Denna del är författad av initiativtagarna till projektet Peter Aronsson, temaansvarig vid Tema Q samt Lars Kvarnström, enhetschef vid Enheten för historia. Doktorand Helena Kåks dokumenterade seminariet och tre av forskarinläggen återfinns som bilagor till rapporten.

From policy to practice : Roma education in Albania and Sweden

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.
