Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The prevalence of hate, threats, gender trolling, and other problematic communication patterns in social media prompts concerns about the responsibility associated with government social media adoption. In addressing this issue, this paper adopts a feminist perspective to enrich our understanding of how governments assume responsibility for their adoption of social media. The study contains a sentiment and thematic analysis of responses to a government video campaign on Facebook, which seeks to heighten public awareness about men's violence against women by highlighting problems surrounding sexist jokes. The video targets two audiences in terms of gender, resulting in various outcomes in sentiments, trolling, and trolling management. Results show disparities in sentiments between males and females, the diverse strategies employed in trolling, and how both users and the local government manage trolling. The local government deploys different strategies for trolling management, encompassing both engaging and non-engaging approaches. Notably, engagement is constrained to the targeted male audience and male trollers. The primary responsibility for trolling management is delegated to users, predominantly women, who become proxies for the local government. This dual practice of ignoring women as relevant stakeholders and utilizing them as proxies is considered a failure of responsibility. The study contributes to the advancement of citizen engagement research by delving into the intricate dynamics of trolling and trolling management within the specific context of government social media. Moreover, it sheds light on issues of responsibility inherent in the adoption of social media by governmental entities.

Dubbel diskriminering av kvinnor : En rapport om genusbaserad utsatthet för ohövligt beteende och sexuella trakasserier på KTH
- 2024
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport om dubbel diskriminering handlar om förekomst av sexuella trakasserier och ohövlighet på KTH. En annan benämning på sexuella trakasserier och ohöv- lighet är genusbaserad utsatthet. Syftet med rapporten är att bidra till förändring för en mer inkluderande kultur på KTH genom ökad medvetenhet om fenomenet och dess förekomst samt genom att bidra till konstruktiva diskus- sioner kring vad som kan göras för att minska problemet. Rapporten är tänkt att användas internt på KTH i utbild- ningar, ledarutveckling, gruppövningar, på arbetsplatsträf- far och i andra lämpliga sammanhang där organisationens kultur och värdegrund är på agendan. Rapporten innehåller en kort introduktion till vad genusbaserad utsatthet, sexu- ella trakasserier och ohövlighet är genom att dels referera till hur det beskrivs och tolkas i forskning och dels till hur det definieras i svensk lagstiftning. Forskning om sexuella trakasserier finns inom en mängd discipliner och utifrån många olika forskningsfrågor, varför vi gjort ett antal avgränsningar. Vi har valt att exemplifiera forskningenmed övergripande teori om makt och maktobalans samt med organisationsforskning om sexuella trakasserier, men presenterar däremot inte forskning om det bredare fältet om diskriminering i organisationer. En sammanfattning av resultaten av en nationell enkätstudie om genusbaserad utsatthet och sexuella trakasserier som genomfördes i högskolesektorn 2021 Syftet med rapporten är attbidra till förändring för en mer inkluderande kultur på KTH genom ökad medvetenhet om fenomenet och dess förekomst samt genom att bidra till konstruktiva diskus- sioner kring vad som kan görasför att minska problemet. (Forsknings- och samverkansprogrammet 2022) presen- teras. Från denna övergripande enkätundersökning harvi hämtat resultat om KTH. KTH data kompletteras med resultat från två olika gruppövningar som genomförts på KTH i samband med presentationer av den nationella studien. Dessa fungerar som kvalitativa exempel för att ge röst åt siffror och diagram. Avslutningsvis sammanfattas resultaten från analysen av KTH data, följt av några för- slag till övningar och diskussionsfrågor som kan användas för att diskutera förändring och möjliga åtgärder.

Online Education Is Non-Inferior to Group Education for Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Randomized Trial and Patient Preference Trial
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology. - : Elsevier BV. - 1542-3565. ; 19:4, s. 743-
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background & Aims: Structured education can reduce symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but the availability of such interventions is limited and online formats could facilitate their dissemination. We compared the effectiveness of Internet-delivered vs face-to-face education in patients with IBS, hypothesizing that the online format would not be inferior. Methods: We conducted 2 trials of Internet-delivered vs face-to-face group education (3 weeks) at a gastroenterology outpatient clinic in Sweden. In the first trial, 141 patients with IBS were assigned randomly (1:1) to either Internet-delivered or face-to-face education, from August 2016 through June 2017. In the second trial, 155 patients with IBS were allowed to choose whether to receive education via the Internet or face to face, from August 2017 through September 2018. Patients completed questionnaires before, during, and after education. The primary outcome measure was the irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system, which measures IBS severity on a scale from 0 to 500, based on abdominal pain, bloating, dissatisfaction with bowel habits, and interference with life. The primary test of noninferiority adhered to the intent-to-treat principle and concerned the difference in change up to 6 months after education, tested using the 1-sided CI for the time by group interaction in a linear mixed model fitted on data from the randomized controlled trial. A secondary per-protocol analysis used data from all treatment completers in both trials. The noninferiority margin was 40 points on the irritable bowel syndrome severity scoring system. Results: In the primary analysis, patients who received face-to-face education had an average reduction in irritable bowel syndrome severity score that was 12.2 points more than that of patients who received Internet education (1-sided 95% CI upper bound, 38.4). In the per-protocol analysis, patients who received face-to-face education reduced their average irritable bowel syndrome severity score by 14.7 points more than patients who received Internet education (95% CI upper bound, 35.5). Face-to-face education had significantly higher credibility and produced a significantly larger increase in self-rated knowledge, although most patients preferred Internet-delivered education. Between-group effects on secondary symptoms were small. Conclusions: Based on the comparison of Internet-delivered vs face-to-face education for IBS, the upper bound of the CI for the difference in change up to 6 months after education was within the noninferiority margin of 40 points. We therefore conclude that Internet-delivered education is noninferior to face-to-face education. Future research should focus on increasing within-group effects.

From quotas of men to gender mainstreaming : Gender equality policies in academia from the 1960s to the 2000s

Ingår i: Nordic Gender Equality Policy in a Europeanisation Perspective. - Oxon : Routledge. - 9780367367459 - 9780429351136

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The chapter aims to analyse how the problem of gender inequality in academia has been constructed in Nordic and EU policies, with a particular emphasis on Sweden. Inspired by Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to Be?” method the article investigates the presuppositions that underpin representations of the gender inequality in academia and how these representations of the problem have come about since the 1960s. The article shows how psychological and different ethical presuppositions form the basis for the problematisation of gender inequality and the policies and strategies aiming at achieving gender equality. It also shows that the representations exhibit differences and similarities between the Nordic countries and interdependence between the discussions in these countries, and that EU policies and regulations have had both a constraining and enabling role. The article ends with a discussion on what effects the different presuppositions might have had on the current situation for gender equality in academia.

The power in positionings : A Foucauldian approach to knowledge integration processes

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores the role of relational power and discursive positioning in the knowledge integration process of an interdisciplinary project developing a steam turbine. As boundaries are an important focus of study for knowledge integration studies, more engagement is needed to not only map boundary work in the knowledge integration process, but also to acknowledge the role of power in this context. With help of governmentality and positioning theory, we show how power struggles are manifested as boundary work that both reinforces and undermines temporal and domain-specific boundaries. The study concludes that these reinforcements and underminings are central for our understanding of how knowledge integration develops. In addition, the study shed lights on the significance of the co-existence of domination and freedom in the project work. By acknowledging power relations and studying them as they are played out in discursive talk, the study contributes to an increased understanding of the nuances and intricacies of knowledge integration processes.

Desilencing Complexities : Addressing Categorization in Cross-cultural Management with Intersectionality and Relationality
- 2018

Ingår i: International Studies of Management and Organization. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0020-8825 .- 1558-0911. ; 48:3, s. 294-313

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A central focus of cross-cultural management research is how individuals and organizations differ across national cultures and how that fundamentally shapes their thoughts and actions and serves as a unit of identification. In this article, we critically reconsider the essential categorical nature of culture, problematizing categorization and questioning national culture as the primary basis of differentiation. We draw on intersectionality, an approach that helps understand how multiple categories are experienced by the individual, and on relationality, an approach that conceptualizes people, organizations, and their actions within dynamic patterns of relations and cultural meanings. Both approaches challenge the primacy, unity, and separateness of any given category, the a priori determination of categories (and associated boundaries) in research, and the nature and stability of boundaries. Based on this we advance notions of boundary work and boundary shifting that help explore how today’s sociocultural groups and categories, and the boundaries that separate them, emerge and change. We conclude that, while the extant cross-cultural literature has come far in identifying differences, relationality and intersectionality can enable cross-cultural scholars to engage in research practice that better reflects the complexities of sociocultural life. We contribute to theory by suggesting why and how these two approaches can be used to explore complex cross-cultural management phenomena.

Ethnicizing Employability : Governing the Unemployed in Labour Market Projects in Sweden
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation analyzes labour market projects co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) targeting unemployed migrants and ethnicized groups. The analysis is qualitative, discourse-oriented and based on Foucault’s concept of governmentality. More specifically, it is highlighted how the target groups are ethnicized through discourses of employability and learning. The thesis consists of four articles. In the first three articles, focus is mainly on how the projects present themselves through their project descriptions in the ESF project bank and the fourth article is mainly based on ethnographic material. Overall, this dissertation highlights different aspects of inclusion work directed towards migrants and ethnicized target groups that can be seen as problematic and sometimes contradictory. Tendencies to individualize unemployment and thus positioning the unemployed project participants as responsible for their situation is interrogated in the thesis. Further, it is analyzed how culture and ethnicity is used in ways that are likely to strengthen the target groups ‘Otherness’ in relation to a ‘Swedishness’ that often become synonymous with what is perceived as normal and thus widening the gap between ‘us’ and ‘them’ when the stated goal is the opposite. This dissertation can serve as a starting point to reflect on how inclusion efforts and labour market projects seeking to produce social inclusion and employability may be at risk to categorize people in different ways, which can sometimes be problematic in relation to what the efforts seek to achieve.
