More trouble in a welfare paradise : Sweden's problematic welfare policy and practice response to the pandemic
- 2023
-
In: Post-Pandemic Welfare and Social Work. - London : Routledge. - 9781003416210 - 9781032223445 ; , s. 123-134
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The chapter explores the apparent contradiction between Sweden’s pre-eminent international welfare reputation and its strikingly limited welfare response to the pandemic. We survey the Swedish welfare impact within two domains: first, the domain of public and social policies during the pandemic and their impact on the welfare of citizens; second, the domain of social work practice and its impact within two fields – disability and gendered violence to women. Finally, we ask how far international social work can learn about its future trajectory from the Swedish experience.

The EU, men and masculinities
- 2021
-
In: The Routledge Handbook on Gender and EU Politics. - London : Routledge. - 9781138485259 ; , s. 80-92
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Critical approaches on men and masculinities are relevant whether we are talking about EU politics as an amalgam of national and local politics, institutionally or geographically, or the international or transnational politics in or of the EU itself and its various constituent institutions and bodies. They are relevant in the analysis of political institutions, social movements and political actors, both individual and collective, as well as the very question of what counts as politics in the first place, seen as pervasive and not only formal politics in the public domain. Thus, politics is not just mainstream politics in the public domain; rather politics pervades gender ordering of and across societies.Men and masculinities are just as gendered as women and femininities, individually and collectively: whether we are talking about party politicians, policy-makers, professionals, activists, supporters, clients, citizens, migrants or refugees, amongst many other political actors and groupings. This may seem obvious (to some), but is still frequently forgotten or obscured, in both mainstream and critical analyses. It is so much the case that political institutions and organisations – whether local, national, transnational or European – are often described in either gender-neutral or implicitly masculinised terms, into which women move or which affect women, albeit in differential ways. The centre, the One (as opposed to the presumed Other[s]), typically and easily remains undeconstructed. Likewise, the EU and its institutions and processes may appear, to many, as gender-neutral or implicitly masculinised.

Virtual Invisible Men : Privacy and invisibility as forms of privilege in online venues for fathers during early parenthood
- 2014
-
In: Culture, Society and Masculinities. - 1941-5583 .- 1941-5591. ; 6:1, s. 52-68
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Given the proliferation of support technology for men entering parenthood invirtual forums this project’s aim was to explore a virtual forum exclusively forfathers and elaborate on gendered questions for men’s parenthood within thatmilieu. An archival forum study was undertaken using principles for nethnography.The categories presented in the results overall indicate that the onlinevenue creates a privileged invisibility from experiences in “real life” genderrelations. This suggests that both horizontal and vertical homo-social dimensionsare present in the forum support/negotiations which occur among theforum posters, whereby issues of invisibility and entitlement in some casestake a central position. We suggest that being virtual invisible men entails participationin both a marketplace of opinions and a homo-social competition.

His helping hands-adult daughter's perceptions' of fathers with caregiving responsibility
- 2013
-
In: European Journal of Social Work. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1369-1457 .- 1468-2664. ; 16:2, s. 235-248
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Women's position as informal carers has been taken for granted in social policy and social professions, while relatively few discussions have elaborated on caring as a later life activity for men and the impact on family care. This study explores the processes connected to informal caregiving in later life through the position of adult daughters of older fathers engaged with long-term caregiving responsibilities for a partner. A sample of eight daughters, with fathers having primary caregiving responsibility for their ill partners was recruited and in-depth interviews were carried out and analysed according to qualitative procedures. The daughters' descriptions of their relationships with their fathers show that being an older man who engages in caring can have a positive outcome on relations. Even if some of the daughters have doubts about their fathers “masculine authenticity”, all of them appear to cherish “his helping hands” as a carer and closer more intimate relationships with their fathers. Caring for an old and frail spouse may potentially present alternative ways of being a man beyond traditional ‘male activities’ and that caring might also sometimes involve a re-construction of gender identities. It is suggested that social work professionals may use a gendered understanding to assess and work strategically with daughters and other family members who support caring fathers.
