Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Samhällsvetenskaplig forskning äger vanligen rum ytterst stillsamt, bland högar av papper och böcker, vid datorskärmar och på seminarier. Men ibland händer det något. En dag kan man få tag i en text som hjälper en att skärpa blicken, få ordning på intrycken och energi nog att börja argumentera. Materialet faller på plats och forskningen går faktiskt framåt. Det handlar om teoretiska händelser – ett slags radikala betraktelseomkastningar – som kan lotsa den forskare som dag efter dag, vecka efter vecka, månad efter månad bemödar sig med att få grepp om sin empiri. Denna bok har samlat elva sådana händelser, det vill säga artiklar och bokkapitel från internationellt namnkunniga samhällsvetenskapliga forskare, som var och en erbjuder inspiration och nytänkande. Samtliga texter är översatta till svenska. Genom att grunna över det egna materialet i relation till dessa texter kan läsaren på ett lättare och friare sätt våga teoretisera sitt material – och därmed ta språnget till ny kunskap. Boken har sin upprinnelse i en hyllning till lundaprofessorn och sociologen Malin Åkerströms forskargärning och därför sammanfaller de utvalda texterna med teman i hennes verk: social kontroll, kulturanalys, sociologisk kriminologi och kvalitativ metodologi. Den riktar sig till forskare, lärare och doktorander i samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen samt uppsatsskrivande studenter men också till andra vetgiriga medborgare som inför ett socialt fenomen ställer sig frågan ”hur ska man tolka det här?”

Samverkan blir kamp : En sociologisk analys av ett projekt i ungdomsvården
- 2012

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this dissertation a collaboration project in Swedish youth care is analysed. The aim of the project was to enhance coordination between the Social Services and the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care in order to make the efforts more efficient. The project also employed a number of coordinators. The overall purpose of this dissertation is to analyse conflicts, alliances and comparisons identifiable in interviews and observations. The analytic findings are put into an overall “collaboration context” represented by earlier research on the social phenomenon of “collaboration”. In this way the dissertation tries to contribute to a sociological understanding of a contemporary widespread phenomenon. The empirical materials of the study consist of recorded conversational interviews with 147 project participants (youngsters, parents and various professional categories) as well as observations of meetings, informal get-togethers and visits to institutions, Social Services offices, the head office of the National Board of Institutional Care and coordinators. The material was analysed using the analytic perspectives of Georg Simmel (1950/1964), Theodore Caplow (1968) and Erving Goffman (1959/2004). The analysis shows that the project manifested and led to struggles between organizations involving representatives from the Social Services, the National Board of Institutional Care and the project, as well as to several interpersonal conflicts between representatives from various categories of involved professionals, and the youngsters and their parents. The study also shows that the client, in such human service organizations, faces a significant risk of being marginalized. Professionals who appreciated the collaboration often drew their conclusions based on their interaction with other professionals, but the collaboration did not guarantee a successful treatment of the client. Conflicts concerning the roles of the coordinators and their written documents (“the agreements”) emerged and were actualized through the creation of the project. The coordinators and their “agreements” can be seen as the project’s most visible representatives and symbols, which during the project become both themes for conflict and actualize already established conflict patterns. The youngsters and their parents appreciated the projects’ coordinators who appeared as personally involved and able to make concrete changes. However, many of youngsters and their parents criticized the coordinators and even portrayed a victim identity in relation to the project. The coordinator’s relationship with the youngsters and their parents was mostly characterized by passivity. This is clearly apparent in the analysis of the administrative and/or passive coordinator. Different alliance constellations became visible in these presentations. When the coordinator roles were altered in the description, the alliance constellations change. It is a common strategy for clients in human service organizations to try to enter into alliances with professionals involved in their cases and, in so doing, try to alter the situation to their own advantage. The fact that these alliances are often sought by the client indicates, among other things, the client’s will to fight against the situation in which he/she finds him/herself. I believe that this can be seen as something productive rather than problematic.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study concerns young people who have experienced war, taken shelter in Sweden, and been placed in institutions. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze power relations that contribute to the shaping of young people’s identities and repertoires of action via stigmatizations and social comparisons with different reference groups. The study’s empirical material includes qualitatively oriented interviews with six young people from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan who have experienced war followed by placement in institutional care in Sweden. Analytical findings with the following themes are presented: (1) power relations and war, (2) power relations and escape from war, and (3) power relations and post war. The narratives on war and flight recounted by unaccompanied refugee minors describe the exercise of power in practice, in which wartime interactions (based on the exercise of power) are compared and related to peaceful interactions (in which there is no exercise of power). In this context, the interactive creation of contrasts and comparisons in relation to other actors reveals various categories of actor: victim, perpetrator, and hero.

Makt och vanmakt på äldreboenden
- 2012
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ordet makt ger bestämda associationer. Många tänker på våld eller politik. I denna bok om äldreboenden presenterar författarna ett annat synsätt. Makten finns också mitt i vardagen, bland blöjbyten och duschning, klädesval och läggtider. Bokens kapitel spänner över en rad teman som på flera sätt knyter an till maktutövning: inträdet till äldreboenden, rutiner, ledarskap, vårdskandaler och döden. Även mer svårupptäckta fenomen tas upp, som sociala band, andrafiering,aktivering, hemlikhet och subtila kontroverser kring de äldres identitet. Syftet är att ge läsaren en skärpt blick för hur makt och vanmakt gestaltas i välbekanta situationer i dagens äldreomsorg. Forskning visar att omsorgspersonal, boende och anhöriga dagligen involveras i maktutövning, trots att vardagen vid första anblicken inte alltid ter sig särskilt dramatisk. Boken syftar också till att underlätta diskussioner och ifrågasättanden av det som annars lätt tas för givet. Bör dagens omsorg om de äldsta medborgarna skötas på nya sätt? Kan vardagen på ett äldreboende förändras? Boken riktar sig främst till universitets- och högskolestuderande inom vård och omsorg, medicin, socialt arbete och vårdsociologi. Den är även relevant för yrkesverksamma och andra med intresse för gerontologi,sociologi, etnologi, socialantropologi, socialpsykologi och studier av välfärdsinstitutioner.

School as a protection factor : An analysis of achievements, obstacles, collaboration, and identities in senior high school work with students who use alcohol and drugs

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Ethnography is a research method in which the researcher (1) engages in a social environment for a long period of time, (2) conducts regular observations of how the participants in this environment behave, (3) listens to and participates in the conversation, (4) interviews informants about phenomena that cannot be observed directly and about which the ethnographer is unclear, (5) collects documentary sources related to this group, (6) develops an understanding of the group’s culture and of human behaviour in the context of this culture, and (7) formulates a detailed account of this environment (Bryman 2016). This study is inspired by ethnographic methodology, where researchers reside within the environments, situations, and interactions they want to learn about. By observing what happens, listening to what is said, asking questions and collecting documents in the practice, the researcher can come to an understanding of the participantsʼ experiences. Adolescence is a unique period in which there is a high potential to influence and change both issues at school and drug abuse problems. However, it may require productive collaboration between professional in the social services and treatment centres and school staff. The environment at school can help create stability in a drug-abusing youths’ life, and the combination of education and treatment is a key factor necessary for these students to build independence. Much remains unknown about improving schooling for students with alcohol and drug problems and the factors involved should therefore be investigated. This study aims to identify and analyse (1) factors in practical and organizational work at senior high schools that are obstructive and promotive to students with alcohol and drug problems; (2) the circumstances teachers and other professional actors in the Swedish school system need to promote the success of students with alcohol and drug problems; (3) implications of school attendance for inclusion, learning, and change in these youths; and (4) implications for the identity construction of these young people related to school situations. By examining the details of the work done by professionals, the results from this study will provide missing knowledge about how to improve schooling for young people with alcohol and drug problems and how this contributes to their inclusion and participation in society. Our hope is that the study will identify conditions and opportunities needed to support young people with alcohol and drug problems in senior high school. Additionally, the information obtained will be used to develop a model for improved collaboration between schools, social services, and various treatment services to improve graduation rates for young people in the target group. In this specific target group, studies are lacking that identify factors that promote or obstruct such cooperation.

Accessibility Denied : Understanding Inaccessibility and Everyday Resistance to Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book explores the societal resistance to accessibility for persons with disabilities, and tries to set an example of how to study exclusion in a time when numerous policies promise inclusion. With 12 chapters organised in three parts, the book takes a comprehensive approach to accessibility, covering transport and communication, knowledge and education, law and organisation. Topics within a wide cross-disciplinary field are covered, including disability studies, social work, sociology, ethnology, social anthropology, and history. The main example is Sweden, with its implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities within the context of the Nordic welfare state. By identifying and discussing persistent social and cultural conditions as well as recurring situations and interactions that nurture resistance to advancing accessibility, despite various strong laws promoting it, the book’s conclusions are widely transferable. It argues for the value of alternating between methods, theoretical perspectives, and datasets to explore how new arenas, resources and technologies cause new accessibility concerns — and possibilities — for persons living with impairments. We need to be able to follow actors closely to uncover how they feel, act, and argue, but also to connect to wider discursive and institutional patterns and systems. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of disability studies, social work, sociology, ethnology, social anthropology, political science, and organisation studies.

Access to sexuality : Disabled people's experiences of multiple barriers

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter concerns disabled people’s experiences of barriers to accessing sexuality. It draws on an analysis of materials produced in ten projects by civil society organisations, including self-advocacy organisations, sexual rights organisations and organisations working on behalf of disabled people. These materials comprise books, handbooks, videos, websites and other online materials, and are based on the lived experiences of people with intellectual disability and mobility impairments. The projects mainly focus on providing information about sexuality and relationships, sexual and gender identity issues, and experiences of disability services in relation to sexuality. The analysis identifies the following types of sexual access barriers: (1) inadequate information, (2) psycho-emotional barriers, (3) relational barriers, (4) support-related barriers, and (5) policy barriers. These barriers to sexual access are often related to general disabling barriers and ableist norms. This intersection of barriers at personal, social, organisational and policy levels greatly impacts on disabled people’s opportunities in their sexual lives specifically, and as equal citizens generally.

Introduction : Into the fields of stubborn obstacles and lingering exclusion
- 2022

Ingår i: Accessibility Denied. - Oxon & New York : Routledge. - 9780367637286 - 9780367637309 - 9781003120452 ; , s. 1-10

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Accessibility today has a contradictory character. One the one hand, people with disabilities are welcomed and included, with ambitious promises in policies and declarations. On the other hand, they are still excluded in everyday practices. This volume explores this contradiction in three areas: city and transport, knowledge and education, and law, institutions and history. Sweden is the primary case, but the ambition is wider. The compilation includes studies rooted in disability studies, social work and sociology, as well as ethnology, cultural geography and gender studies, political science and law, architecture, history, anthropology and linguistics. It involves a range of theories and methods, from participant observation to historical analyses using archival data, from critical disability theory to ethnomethodology. Since resistance to accessibility today takes various forms, and transforms as society itself changes, we need to equip ourselves with a corresponding plurality and dexterity. Researchers have to be on the move, like the United Nations itself, whose 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities looks complete but requires constant monitoring to get nation-states to actualise its intentions. To study accessibility is to study exclusion and its constant drama, and in a democratic society this is highly relevant.
