The challenge of abstaining in a culture of action points

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Behavioural change is necessary in order to reach a sustainable society. Sometimes this will translate into doing less and it is likely that we need to stop some things entirely. We lay out the multiple challenges of making the act of abstaining count. The issue is partly philosophical - we ask ourselves how to intellectually and semantically frame abstaining; partly practical – how can we count abstaining? It concerns a broader understanding of modernity and interrogates the ideas of progress and growth, technological change, and innovation. Abstaining will also be a moving target as expectations and demands shift over time.

Det relativa ickevalet : En kritisk diskursanalys av valfrihet inom äldreomsorgen i Sverige
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Socialvetenskaplig tidskrift. - 1104-1420. ; 30:2, s. 627-648
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Syftet med denna studie är att få en ökad förståelse för hur ickeval framställs i en kontext som förespråkar valfrihet. Detta utvecklas genom att undersöka hur ickeval av utförare inom äldreomsorgen framställs i nationella policydokument. Med begreppet ”ickeval” avses att ett val av utförare uteblir eller starkt begränsas. Det empiriska materialet består av tio dokument om valfrihet som skrivits under 2000-talet, en särskilt expansiv period för valfrihet i Sverige. Som teoretiskt ramverk används främst Fairclough’s kritiska diskursteori och metodologiskt används inspiration från Bacchi’s ansats vid policyanalyser. Som framträdande resultat framkommer att det finns en benägenhet att framställa ickeval: 1) som ett val beroende på oförmåga, 2) som ett aktivt val, 3) som ett oinformerat val och 4) som ett förhandsbestämt val. Av resultatet framgår också att innebörden av ickeval är oklar avseende när anhöriga och biståndshandläggare har en avgörande inverkan på valets utfall respektive när förhandsbestämda ickeval aktiveras som en given åtgärd. Stort utrymme i samhällsdebatten har ägnats åt beslut om att på kommunal nivå införa kundval inom äldreomsorgen eller inte. Vi befinner vi oss nu i ett läge när mer utrymme i samhällsdebatten behöver ägnas åt ickeval; dess innebörd och tillämpning.

Flygskam / Flight shame : Shame and climate change with a focus on Sweden
- 2023
-
Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Although the word ‘flygskam’ or flight shame existed in Swedish previously, it was in the spring of 2018 that some Swedish journalists began writing about feelings of shame associated with flying due to its climate impact. This interest grew rapidly into a national debate spurred on by the ongoing discussion on climate change and mitigation. There were those who disliked framing flying as a moral issue. However, it seems that for those people that actually stopped flying for climate reasons, ethical considerations were crucial.

Thinking structures of climate delay : internal deliberations among Swedes with sustainable ambitions
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Environment, Development and Sustainability. - : Springer. - 1387-585X .- 1573-2975.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is important to understand how individuals in affluent societies reason around their own actions in relation to climate change. However, much of the research has focused on sceptics and those who have little interest in change. Studying those who want to contribute to a transition and why they fail is also of interest. This study is qualitative and deals with the internal reasoning of a self-selected sample of Swedes with sustainable values who argue in relation to a failed intention. Ca 400 responses were analysed. We used topos theory to identify thinking structures that guide the arguments used to deal with the cognitive dissonance that acting against knowledge and intention results in. The most common ways to argue were to imagine a climate account with possible deposits and withdrawals, or a budget which you strive to keep. Also common was to compare with something or someone that was "worse". Redirecting responsibility was also an argument, albeit complicating the issue of responsibility. The limits of reality were used as an excuse for action, whereas articulating the goal conflicts of a less emitting life made choices visible. Finally, the human condition of not always meeting your own standards was mentioned. These arguments only partly overlap common discourses of delay in the public sphere.

Lack of Coordination between Health Care and Social Care in Multi-Professional Teamwork : the Obstacle for Coherent Care of Older People Suffering from Multi-Morbidity
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Population Ageing. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1874-7876 .- 1874-7884. ; 15:2, s. 319-335

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The lack of a cohesive health and social care is a well-known problem of significance for ageing people in general and frail older people in particular. Responsibility for organising and conducting social care and healthcare for the elderly rests on different principals in different countries but difficulties with organisational coordination and collaboration between professions and authorities in social care and healthcare is an extensive concern worldwide. Regardless of the distribution of responsibilities, collaboration and coordination structures are complex and often lead to problems. However, the gap in the coordination between different organisations and the collaboration between professions, implying that frail older people with major care needs still living in their own homes are pinched, has received hardly any recognition. By closely following an implementation project focused on teamwork in order to improve collaboration and coordination between social care and healthcare, the purpose of this article is to fill this gap with the help of an example from Sweden. Data consisted of event diaries, observations, focus groups, structured questionnaires and interviews. Findings showed that multi-professional teams certainly were established, but did not work or last. Among the obstacles found the most prominent features were the various professions’ own organisations, territorial thinking and rivalries. The whole idea of the initiative to achieve a cohesive healthcare and social care for ageing frail older people fell through. By letting this happen, not only did the project hinder the development of better practice in serving older adults, but also cemented the problematic structures it was intended to dissolve.

Exceptionalism and Evasion : How Scholars Reason About Air Travel
- 2022

Ingår i: Academic Flying and the Means of Communication. - Singapore : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9789811649103 ; , s. 159-183

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Understanding how scholars reason about their own flying habits is important when dealing with the problems of large emissions from academic air travel. This study is based on a travel habits survey with scholars at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. KTH has relatively high emissions from air travel, but at the same time, it has a high profile in matters of sustainability and a lot of research related to this theme. One can therefore assume a high degree of knowledge about the climate crisis and the climate impact of various actions. It is also plausible that KTH scholars meet special expectations to be role models and that practices in conflict with their teaching can have consequences for the public confidence in the university. In this study, we look at how scholars reason about how emissions from their flying could be reduced. Their responses display a spectrum of varying attitudes, from climate scepticism to a commitment to radical transformation, with the majority in between, either suggesting different types of concrete changes or invoking arguments to justify the status quo. The proposed interventions, several of which are ingenious and wise, can guide university managements to strategies that have support from employees. The more reluctant arguments point to cultural and discursive habits that must be understood and met in an empathetic way.
