- This paper explores the ethical challenges and possibilities of conducting responsible and transformative translanguaging pedagogy in adult education for second language learners with limited previous experience of schooling. We identify and explore ethical dilemmas in teachers’ interaction and multilingual teaching practices. The data was produced in a linguistic ethnography and action research project. It consists of classroom observations and interviews with teachers who teach in the programme Swedish for Immigrants (SFI). The teachers express and embody ambivalence in relation to the students’ use of their whole linguistic repertoires and the students are not always treated as competent to make informed decisions about their own use of linguistic repertoires. This touches on issues of citizenship and democracy and here the framework ethics of care offers context-specific ways of understanding and responding to the ethical challenges of multilingual teaching.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports on findings from a reading project about reader identities carried out in collaboration with a teacher in the school subject Swedish in two classes in traditionally male dominated vocational programmes at an upper secondary school in Sweden. The study is based on the narrative research tradition where narratives and narration are important resources in the work of developing teaching, and on ecological literacy theories that emphasize the mutual interaction between the individual, the context, and reading as a social practice. Life story interviews have been conducted with four students in each class where the focus has been on rural boys’ narrated experiences of the reading instruction provided in the context of their vocational education. The study shows that the reading instruction has initiated a process among the boys of reevaluating what reading can be and themselves as readers. Further, some of the boys position themselves against the dominant discourse about boys and their problematic relationship to reading that they have encountered in various contexts. Through these counter-narratives, the boys also construct alternative narratives about themselves and other boys as readers where they are given space to talk about themselves as readers of different types of texts. The study shows that it is possible to set into play a reading instruction with quite limited efforts through which a group of students who are often described as reluctant readers show agency in their storytelling and both reconstruct and reclaim their reader identities.

Engaging Rural Vocational Boys in Reading. Teaching and Learning About Reader Identities
- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study reports findings from a reading project with a focus on the reader, which has been carried out in collaboration with a Swedish teacher at a vocational upper secondary school. Rural vocational boys are often described as reluctant readers, and the study is about how their narrated experiences of reading can provide knowledge about reader identities and local reading practices, and how these can be used as subject content in Swedish education. Based on a narrative research tradition that sees narratives and narration as important resources in the work of developing teaching (Goodson, et al., 2010; Goodson & Gill, 2011, 2014) the study also aims to contribute knowledge about what a reading instruction that takes its starting point in such local reading practices does to vocational students’ narratives about themselves as readers. Data consist of topical life story interviews with 19 vocational male upper secondary students. Taking an ecological perspective on literacy (Barton & Hamilton, 1998/2012; Green & Corbett, 2013) which emphasize the interaction between readers, context and reading as a social practice, the results indicate an existing gapbetween reading practices in school and the more informal reading practices the boys engage in outside school (cf. Asplund & Goodson, 2022; Scholes & Asplund, 2021). Our analysis also shows that the boys have strengthened their identities as readers when their own reading practices and stories have formed the starting point for the reading instruction they encountered. The boys’ stories open up for didactic discussions about reading as a generic and subject-specific ability which is to be taught and learned in all subjects. Therefore, knowledge about reading is also expected to be taught and learned in teacher education.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The interaction between the local place and reading practice is continuously emphasized in literacy research. Nevertheless, the significance of place has been neglected in research on working-class men’s relationship to reading. This study responds to this gap by examining working-class men from rural areas and their relationship to reading across a life span. Through life-story interviews with two working-class men in their 60s, living in the same rural woodland municipality, the article contributesto the understanding of the importance of reading in these men’s lives, and how their reader histories interact with distinctive features of the locality. The study shows that the men’s individual reader histories have been shaped by, and have shaped, the specific local and cultural contexts and surrounding discourses. Through their reading practices throughout their life courses, the men (re)construct rural working-class identities in which hunting, fishing, sports and cars constitute significant elements. However, other movements in the men’s reading practices related to place through which the men can pursue alternative masculine positions are also present. The study highlights the importance for educators to pay attention to place as a significant feature in understanding working-class males’ reading practices.

När skogsmän läser. Situerade läspraktiker i rörelse
- 2021
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Pojkar med arbetarklassbakgrund pekas ofta ut som en grupp med ett bekymmersamt förhållande till läsning. I olika rapporter lyfts därför gruppen också återkommande fram som målgrupp för olika läsfrämjande insatser. Utgångspunkten för sådana insatser har dock varit en syn på läsning där den skönlitterära och tryckta boken utgör normen. De mer informella läspraktiker arbetarpojkar engagerar sig i utanför skolans domäner har inte uppmärksammats tillräckligt, och därför inte heller införlivats i skolans läsundervisning.Vi kommer att presentera några arbetarmän i den svenska skogsbygden och deras situerade läspraktiker. Med teoretisk och metodologisk utgångpunkt i life history (Bertaux & Thompson, 1997; Goodson, 2013) och local literacies (Barton & Hamilton, 1998/2012) visar vi hur dessa lokala läspraktiker har starka kopplingar till en muntlig berättartradition och kroppsliga aktiviteter som jakt, fiske och skogsbruk. I ljuset av våra resultat kommer vi att diskutera betydelsen av att införliva lokalt förankrade och situerade läspraktiker i en likvärdig läsundervisning som både utmanar och inkluderar.

Du och Jag : Dialogiska möten kring text i resursskolans klassrum
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis takes an interest in the literacy practices in a Special Educational Needs (SEN) classroom for grades 7-9 in a compulsory school, where most students are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The diagnosis ASD often implies difficulties related to print literacy as well as deficits in social interaction (ICD5), and many of these students show a relatively low rate of passing grades in school. A possible explanation for this is that social interaction and literacy are considered as key abilities in the view on learning in the Education Act, and therefore crucial for reaching the knowledge requirements stated in the curricula. The relation between the difficulties implied by the diagnosis and necessary abilities for reaching knowledge requirements in school constitutes a special educational dilemma. Considering this dilemma, the aim of this study is to make visible, from a relational perspective, the prerequisites for participation in literacy practices in a SEN group for students diagnosed with ASD. The research question is: What obstacles and opportunities for participation in the classroom literacy practices appear for the focus students? The empirical material was produced through an ethnographic approach, where the participants were followed for one year. Video and interviews were used as methods for data production. The theoretical framework is relational pedagogy, and Martin Buber’s concepts are used to analyze the relational dimensions in the classroom interactions around text. The results show how relational aspects of teacher-student meetings affect the possibilities for student participation in interactions around text. The study concludes that educators’ relational competence plays a crucial role for the students’ opportunities to participate in literacy practices. The findings have implications for practice that are applicable for teaching students with special educational needs as well as for teaching in the general classroom.

Berättelser om tillhörighet : om barn med migrationsbakgrund på en mindre ort
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis centres on children of immigrant background, who live and go to school in a non-urban community. The emphasis is on their narrated experience of a sense of belonging in and out of school. The study is based on interviews with 13 children at two different schools in two small-sized municipalities, and aimed at identifying the factors in their narratives that impact on their sense of belonging as well as the related conditions and means of action. The interviews were conversational and most of the children were interviewed on three occasions. Each result chapter analyses a specific dilemmatic space related to a sense of belonging, such as peer relationships, trips to the “home country”, and managing in school. In particular, the emotions related to the children’s narrative positionings are analysed as well as the narrative resources employed in their narration. The results show that their sense of belonging is produced in the interplay between the conditions of immigration and the socio-cultural conditions in the small-sized community. The children describe extensive relational and emotional work to enter into comradeship. Dimensions of being like and unlike gain importance and involve clothing, height and colour of skin. Several of the children describe how they cope with ‘racifying’ and other excluding processes of ‘othering’ on a daily basis. Trips to the home country emerge as central events in their lives and it is clear that a sense of belonging is connected to place attachment and anchored in embodied sensory emotions. Managing school is important to all the children but is attributed different meanings in the pursuit of the long-term goal of employment. In conclusion, the children’s experiences are discussed in terms of two interwoven and sometimes separate projects emerging in the children's narratives: the Swedishness project and the family project.
