Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article provides a diverse range of insights into the question of how sociology can and should contribute to research on climate change. It takes an unconventional and unique approach to doing so, through a stylized conversation between the authors, which is based on an open-ended focus group discussion. The conversation illuminates different perspectives on if and how to research climate change and the climate crisis from a sociological perspective. We delve into issues of normativity in sociological research, discuss the benefits and pitfalls of several methodological approaches, theorize about how climate change might affect sociology in the decades to come, as well as how sociology needs to further develop in order to stay a relevant discipline for this grand societal challenge. We conclude not with suggestions for future research, but with a call for further reflective conversation on these topics, both within and outside of sociology.

- The synergies and trade-offs between the various dimensions of sustainable development are attracting a rising scholarly attention. Departing from the scholarly debate, this article focuses on internal relationships within social sustainability. Our key claim is that it is diffi cult to strengthen substantive social sustainability goals unless there are key elements of social sustainability contained in the very procedures intended to work toward sustainability. Our analysis, informed by an organizing perspective, is based on a set of case studies on multi-stakeholder transnational sustainability projects (sustainability standards). This article explores six challenges related to the achievement of such procedures that can facilitate substantive social sustainability. Three of these concern the formulation of standards and policies, and three the implementation of standards and policies. To achieve substantive social sustainability procedures must be set in motion with abilities to take hold of people's concerns, frames, resources, as well as existing relevant institutions and infrastructures.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Arrangements for collaboration in knowledge production across academia, government, non-governmental organisations, and corporations have several names, such as citizen-science, community-based participatory research, engaged research and hybrid forums. The multiplicity of schemes does not lie only in the high number of names for various versions of collaborative knowledge production. Different scholars also use concepts in multiple ways, depending on their individual choices, mother disciplines, and the problem area in which collaboration occurs. At the same time, there is a lack of analytical tools that address the full range of collaborative research schemes and provide a systematic set of questions to learn about the schemes, challenges, and opportunities. Based on our review of academic journal articles highlighting collaborative research schemes, this paper aims to analyse three parameters which it is fair to say that virtually all arrangements of collaborative knowledge production ought to consider when making decisions, parameters that are often partially missed or misunderstood: (A) epistemic-procedural, (B) exclusive-inclusive and (C) aggregative-integrative. By examining the three parameters, their political theory origins, and how they connect to and challenge existing schemes of knowledge collaboration, we provide analytical tools that could facilitate processes of developing and scrutinising arrangements of collaborative research.

Gruppens grepp : Hur vi flockvarelser kan lära oss leva tillsammans
- 2018
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Vi och dom, mitt gäng och deras, vän eller fiende – hur ska vi kunna leva tillsammans i vår globaliserade och polariserade värld?Den här boken handlar om fördomar, om hur vi generaliserar och kategoriserar. Men också om tolerans och vad som begränsar den – och hur den skulle kunna utvidgas.Våra hjärnor hanterar information om andra på olika sätt beroende på om vi placerar dem i kategorin ingrupp eller utgrupp. Dessutom grupperar, värderar och beter vi människor oss annorlunda gentemot “dom” än “oss”.Det kan vara av godo: sammanhållningen i vår familj, här ställer vi upp för varandra, blod är tjockare än vatten! Och det kan vara av ondo: krossa kackerlackorna! Men i sig är vårt beteende, det att vi ständigt delar upp världen i en hel mängd olika vi och dom, i sig varken bra eller dåligt. Det bara är.Med hjälp av den senaste forskningen inom neurovetenskap, psykologi och sociologi skriver författarna om dessa kategoriseringar; varifrån de kommer, hur de fungerar och hur vi kan dra fördel av en fördjupad kunskap om vår natur. Bara genom att förstå hur vi fungerar kan vi finna fungerande strategier för att undvika konflikter som grundar sig i fördomar och hat mellan olika grupper – alltifrån skvaller och diskriminering på arbetsplatsen till krig och folkmord.

State-centered versus nonstate-driven organic food standardization: A comparison of the US and Sweden
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Organic food standardization is an increasingly important strategy for dealing with consumer concerns about the environment, animal welfare, health, and the economic structure of food production. But the ways in which this consumer-oriented strategy is introduced, organized, and debated vary considerably across countries. In Sweden, a nongovernmental organization [KRAV (Association for Control of Organic Production)] - consisting of social movement organizations, associations for conventional and organic farmers, and the food industry - has been quite successful in promoting organic food labeling as an eco-label. KRAV has developed a complementary position vis-a-vis the state and EU regulatory framework. In the US, the federal government controls standardization. The government frames the label as a "marketing label," thus rejecting the idea that organic food production would have any significant advantages for the environment or, indirectly, for human health. This framing is separate from the ones created by organic constituencies, leading to deeper controversies than in Sweden. The purpose of this paper is to examine why standardization has followed different patterns in the two settings. We analyze context factors (i.e., political culture, pre-regulatory arrangements, and organizational structures) and process factors (i.e., framing and organizing). What are the benefits of a state-centric versus a nonstate-driven approach regarding powerful standardization? The paper shows that both settings provide not only "threats of regulatory occupation" from actors not committed to organic principles but also avenues for substantial standardization in the future, albeit through different channels.
