To Explore the Divine Will in Prayer
- 2010
-
Ingår i: International Medieval Congress, Leeds University, Storbritannien.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- How were holy persons selected as recipients for prayer? Most often, miracle stories only tell of the praying person having already made the decision of recipient, but there were exceptions from this pattern: the habit of casting lots to explore the divine will of whom to address in prayer. Lot casting, a seldom studied religious habit will be in focus in my paper.

Online education for all? Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on teachers’ professional digital competence development in the context of municipal adult education for migrants
- 2023
-
Ingår i: ECIS 2023 Research Papers. - Atlanta, GA : Association for Information Systems.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted the education of disadvantaged groups, relegating already marginalized people. It required their teachers to rapidly develop digital competencies to ensure that their students could overcome potential challenges and succeed in their education. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the pandemic on the development of professional digital competence of teachers working with adult migrant learners.By analyzing responses from questionnaires, a workshop and interviews with Swedish Municipal Adult Education (MAE) teachers working in migrant-dense areas in Sweden, we identify notions and perspectives of Teachers’ Professional Digital Competence (TPDC). We explore the challenges they encountered and the skills they deemed essential for managing them. The findings show the necessity of teachers considering learners’ study conditions, development of digital literacy skills, and cultural awareness to ensure inclusive online education for migrant learners.

Smartphones and Migrant Integration: Mobile Technology as a Bridging Tool between Migrants and Host Societies
- 2021
-
Ingår i: AMCIS 2021 Proceedings. - : Association for Information Systems.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to explore migrants' experiences and perceptions of mobile resources specifically developed for integration purposes in Sweden. Thematic content analysis of semi-structured focus group interviews with newly arrived migrants, guided by the Indicators for Integration Framework, was used. The findings suggest that lack of knowledge about existing applications and skepticism towards mobile technology as integration support in combination with time pressure and limited digital skills impede migrants’ use of mobile applications for integration. Further, technical hurdles stemming from owning outdated smartphones and technical problems with applications prevent migrants from uploading the applications. Finally, fear of surveillance is another obstacle for using applications requiring social media logins for authentication. The study reveals the friction between developers and providers of mobile resources for integration and the users’ perspective on these resources, offering implications for the development of mobile technology for migrant integration.

Smartphones for Migrant Integration: A Lifeline, Bridging or Surveillance tool? Migrants’ perceptions of surveillance and social logins in mobile resources
- 2019

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden is a highly digitalized society, rapidly changing into a multicultural one. Though migrants use smartphones in their migration journeys and, upon reaching host societies, for integration, i.e. learning language, culture and developing contacts with locals, there are certain potential risks in relation to surveillance. This study explores the use of mobile resources for integration purposes by newly arrived migrants in Sweden, in particular from the perspective of surveillance. Further, it aims to analyze the available mobile resources for migrant integration and how these resources are designed, with special focus on the use of social logins. Mapping of mobile resources in combination with 15 focus-group interviews with newly arrived migrants is used. The results show that the migrants are concerned about surveillance and consciously avoid using the resources in which social logins are required, preferring email as a sign-in option. The mapping of the resources shows that the majority of the resources have multiple sign-in options, including Facebook, Google and email. None has a social login as a sole sign-in, and many resources require no sign-in. Thus, the existing resources pose no apparent risk from the social media surveillance perspective for the migrants to use them. However, as in further development of resources social logins might become needed to track user progress, migrants’ concerns about surveillance should be taken into consideration.

Development Speeded up by Necessity: The Future of Higher Education and Academic Work Online
- 2021
-
Ingår i: AMCIS 2021 Proceedings. - : Association for Information Systems.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on our lives and living. In higher education, it led to a swift shift from on-campus to online education resulting in practices of emergency remote teaching through virtual classrooms. In this project, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that this abrupt, enforced change to online education entailed for faculty and students in Sweden and Finland. We aim to examine the evolution of online work and study practices, their impact on the teaching and learning environment, and new expectations imposed on the faculty and students. Our goal is to enhance the theoretical understanding of e-learning, developing guidelines on how to make online education effective, exploring the impact of pandemics on the future of higher education.

From e-government to e-governance : social media and public authorities legitimacy work
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 25th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS). - 9789892076553 ; , s. 858-872
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social media increasingly condition how public authorities build legitimacy when engaging with citizens. In this paper we report on a study of the increasing use of and exposure to social media and social networking platforms in two Swedish public authorities, the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and the police force. Although formally grounded on the same civic principles, the two authorities have significantly different approaches to social media as a way to generate internal and external legitimacy. SIA has mainly implemented an e-government approach to rationalize services to become more efficient and customer oriented, by using social media as one of several media channels. The police force, however, adopted an e-governance approach to build legitimacy through interaction and reflexive discussion between government and citizens as a way to create transparency and nuance citizens’ attitude towards the police force. Building on a two-dimensional public government/governance framework, we reflect on how the two studied authorities’ social media practices shape and are shaped by different governing practices in their legitimacy work.

Genres in Action: Negotiating Genres in Practice

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper we present the initial findings of a genre based case study at a large Swedish company, with a record of early use of internal email (1982). The design of the particular email system was closely mapped to the organizational hierarchy. One of our informants kept one week of incoming email messages. We then asked questions about each message and how it related to the work of the informant, and to the organization. Based on the messages and the interviews we clustered the messages in different genres. Most literature of genres of organizational communication has focused on the genres themselves, e.g. email messages constituting different instances of genres. We found however that many messages, rather than being instances of genres, were part of informal conversations. In these conversations, however, it was common to discuss and negotiate which genres where appropriate to use in different situations.
