- This paper presents ongoing research on vocational didactical dilemmas in Sweden, and examples from a study that focuses on didactical dilemmas with mobile phones in the vocational educational classroom. The paper is based on a tentative study of the risks identified in two different projects where young people in Swedish upper secondary schools' vocational programs have been video- and audio recorded, and interviewed. As the role of the mobile phone in the professional classroom has become more and more important, the fact that most young people in Sweden bring their mobile phones with them to school is nothing new in itself, everyone who has set foot in an upper secondary school knows that. What we know less about, however, is what the young people actually do with the mobile phones and what consequences this can have for the young people's everyday life in the actual classroom. The various examples that we present in this paper contains aspects of risks related to mobile phone use in the vocational classroom divided into two categories; first we present examples where we have identified risks related to safety and health; and then we focus on examples where it is primarily about social risks. The examples show that there is a difference in how the students orient themselves towards the mobile phone and risks as either: the mobile phone as a danger to the safety of the classroom or to the health of the individual student or her classmates, or that the mobile phone constitutes a risk for the students to be hung out in public. The fact that the use of the mobile phone can pose a health risk by stealing students' attention is an aspect of mobile phone that distinguishes the vocational programs from other educational classrooms; it can actually be dangerous to use the mobile phone even if it only in rare cases has consequences for the health of the studied participants. It also explains why the teachers in the studied vocational classrooms to a greater extent and more actively work to hinder the use of mobile phones among the students as it is included as part of the constant security thinking in the vocational classroom. The vocational teachers' normative view of the mobile phone as a risk factor also partly agrees with how the students orient themselves towards the use of the mobile phone. This paper shows that the students also orient themselves towards other risks than those the teacher’s pay attention to.In this paper, so forth, we show that there is a great need to study risk aspects of the presence of mobile phones in the classroom and the initial survey shows that mobile phones can pose risks in the form of security risks, as well as social vulnerability, and that we need new ways of attacking risk as a concept when we discuss students and their mobile phones in the vocational educational classroom. Based on the examples presented in the paper, there are also aspects of the difference between being at risk and risk-taking, for example when are the students in danger and when do they take risks by using the mobile phones in the classroom? Regardless, the mobile phone in the vocational classroom includes questions about risks that needs to be handled by as a didactic dilemma.

The Paradox of Openness : Transparency and Participation in Nordic Cultures of Consensus
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The ‘open society’ has become a watchword of liberal democracy and the market system in the modern globalized world. Openness stands for individual opportunity and collective reason, as well as bottom-up empowerment and top-down transparency. It has become a cherished value, despite its vagueness and the connotation of vulnerability that surrounds it. Scandinavia has long considered itself a model of openness, citing traditions of freedom of information and inclusive policy making. This collection of essays traces the conceptual origins, development, and diverse challenges of openness in the Nordic countries and Austria. It examines some of the many paradoxes that openness encounters and the tensions it arouses when it addresses such divergent ends as democratic deliberation and market transactions, freedom of speech and sensitive information, compliant decision making and political and administrative transparency, and consensual procedures and the toleration of dissent.

Play and imitation : Multimodal interaction and second language development in preschool
- 2017

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper targets the multimodal character of children’s play and its potential for scaffolding second language development. We follow children who are newcomers to a Swedish preschool, and analyze their interactions. Play is, we argue, based on rules or tacit agreements between children, originating in the human capacity of imitation, and creates an opportunity to test out cultural patterns. Despite their limited language abilities, the children naturally engage in bodily play interactions where different objects are deployed. This can potentially underpin second language development, not least when a child or teacher with better Swedish language proficiency participates.

Skola för lönsamhet. Om elevers marknadsanpassade villkor och vardag
- 2019

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of the thesis is twofold: to explore the ways in which the transformation of the Swedish elementary school can be understood through Marxist theory; and, by ethnographic methods, understand the everyday lives of students and teachers in light of the transformation of the educational system. The ethnography has been conducted by observations and interviews during a total of six months at two different schools, Libera and Publica. While Libera is a charter school, owned by a private investment company, Publica is municipally administrated. The former is based in the central part of the city, while the latter is located in a more economically marginal and geographically peripheral area. At Libera, students plan their own schedules and work load and they also set their own goals. At Publica, the students are organized in a more conventional, meaning collective, structure. By discussing marketization, which includes private as well as public actors, scholars foreground the competition that exists between schools through the Swedish voucher-system as well as the transactional relationship that reshapes the relationship between students and teachers. To describe the market rationales by which the public schools must operate the already established concept of New Public Management has been used. However, still no terminology can be found to describe the private actors’ way of functioning. By returning to Marx’s concepts of formal and real subsumption, I offer new ways to conceptualize the shift in character of education and how privately-owned schools operate, meaning how surplus value is created in the everyday life of students and in their pedagogical relations. As my results show, more efficient and flexible ways to organize teaching and pedagogical practices have emerged as new scale logics are developed by private actors who are part of big investment companies. Due to the competition, both Libera and Publica adopt a strong market rationale in their organizational arrangements and pedagogical expectations. Besides conceptualizing schooling on an organizational level, I also seek to address the premises and effects of the learning situation for students in a milieu that is characterized by both flexible and standardized management. Despite the different characteristics of the schools, the market rationales, which dovetailed well with the result-based (state-arranged) management, tended to create alienating conditions for students and teachers in their daily work. Everyday school life was occupied with grade talks and very little time was given for pedagogical “detours”; the students were mostly trying to crack the code and the ones who could not manage the pace were systematically left behind (eliminated). In many cases, whether it was in more successful situations or during processes of (self)elimination, students were often left alone. The expectation of being self-propelled dominated the pedagogical relationship, which translated into the pressure of constant performance and little space to be “unskilled” or explorative. In a situation when school organizations are in competition with each other and are expected to present high numbers (in terms of grades and economic efficiency), the already motivated or skilled students appear as attractive and desirable. The results show how schooling continues to maintain, and in some ways accentuates, segregation and social reproduction.

Much more to it : the relation between Facebook usage and self-esteem

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to examine closer the conflicting results from previous studies concerning the relation- ship between Facebook use and self-esteem using the Facebook Intensity Scale and Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (N = 107). In line with some previous studies, our data confirmed that there is a relationship between Facebook usage and self-esteem, but the applied scales allowed a more refined assessment of it. The results showed, after controlling for demographic variables, that participants with low Facebook intensity reported on average higher self-esteem than those who did not use Facebook or those with high Facebook intensity, while those with medium Facebook intensity had significantly higher self-esteem compared to the participants with high Facebook intensity. Future studies should address the underlying causal relations using a time-bound observation method.

Ägande- och förmögenhetsstrukturen och dess förändring sedan 1980
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här rapporten visar, genom omfattande studier av en mängd tidigare genomförda undersökningar om ägande och förmögenhetsförhållanden i Sverige, att koncentrationen av makt och ägande har blivit allt mer ojämlik. Resultaten är bland annat att: • Ungefär hälften av den samlade svenska ekonomin ägs numera från utlandet. • Det utländska ägandet på Stockholmsbörsen har ökat från 4 procent år 1979 till 39,4 procent 2016. • Det offentliga bolagsägandet har minskat och antalet anställda i statliga företag har halverats från 310 000 år 1980 till 158 000 år 2015. • Det institutionella ägandet har ökat och utgör cirka 20 procent av ägandet i de börsnoterade bolagen. • Det så kallade riskkapitalet har vuxit kraftfullt i omfattning och störst i sektorn är Wallenbergkontrollerade EQT. • I de stora börsnoterade bolagen på Stockholmsbörsen har den största ägarens andel av röstetalet ökat från i genomsnitt 26,8 procent till 31,2 procent av bolagsstämmans röster. • De 15 största finansfamiljerna styrde år 2017 bolag värda 4 935 miljarder kronor. Som jämförelse var Sveriges totala BNP samma år 4 604 miljarder kronor. • Familjen Wallenberg kontrollerade företag värderade till närmare 2 000 miljarder kronor. • Vad gäller de samlade förmögenheterna så har den allra rikaste procentens andel av de samlade förmögenheterna fördubblats från 20,5 procent 1978 till 39,6 procent 2006 och har fortsatt öka sedan dess. • Antalet svenska miljardärer har ökat från 83 personer 2001 till 178 år 2016. För att samhällsutvecklingen ska kunna vändas i riktning mot ökad jämlikhet krävs det att den breda vänstern tar kampen för att återskapa former för reglering och begränsningar av kapitalets makt både i Sverige men också internationellt i en allt mer globaliserad värld. Utvecklandet av ett nytt gemensamt projekt, som utgör ett verkligt alternativ till den ojämlikhetsskapande marknadsliberalismen, är av avgörande betydelse för socialdemokratins framtid.
