Introduction: Design Creating Value at Intersections
- 2017
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our theme highlighted how people from different disciplines coming together create value at different intersections. The subject and field of design has changed, or rather expanded to include new knowledge practices, technologies, including a move from a focus on artificial outcomes to services and business models as outcomes of a design process. The emergences of new intersections where design can create values are hence a logical outcome of this development – and this is of course also reflected in the expansion of design research.

Supporting African peace operations
- 2012
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Nordic Africa Institute, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation and the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs hosted a seminar in Uppsala, Sweden, on 15 and 16 December 2011, that brought together AU, EU and UN officials closely involved in peace operations in Africa. The seminar’s purpose was to allow participants to compare their experiences of the different support models that have been used to date in Sudan and Somalia. International support for African peace operations provides opportunities but also poses challenges. This report examines four of these challenges in some detail: the AU Commission’s limited capacity to plan and manage peace operations; insufficient political engagement by African member states with AU peace operations; the short-termism and self-interest of some of the AU’s partners; and the need for UN Security Council permanent members to value and ensure a shared AU-UN strategic vision. The report also includes policy recommendations for resolving these challenges.

Cisnormativitet och feminism
- 2016

Ingår i: Tidskrift för Genusvetenskap. - : Tidskrift för genusvetenskap. - 1654-5443. ; 37:4

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Detta nummer av TGV samlar texter som på olika vis undersöker förhållandena mellan å ena sidan akademisk feminism och feministiska rörelser, och å andra sidan transstudier och transaktivistiska rörelser genom att ta utgångspunkt i begreppet cisnormativitet.Numret är tänkt att initiera samtal som överskrider en förenklad dikotomi mellan å ena sidan exkluderande eller transfobiska feminismer och å andra sidan inkluderande eller transbekräftande feminismer (Stryker och Bettcher 2016). På samma gång som det behövs kompetens om transfrågor inom feministiska rörelser, inom och utom akademin, och därtill ett ökat intresse för varför transfrågor också är feministiska frågor, behövs det en form av transstudier som arbetar aktivt med arvet från feministiska analyser, teorier och diskussioner genom historien och i nutid.Transstudier, transaktivism och inom- och utomakademiska feminismer är samtliga rörelser som grundas i en önskan om att bekämpa könsbaserad diskriminering. Transstudier och feministisk forskning är även intimt förbundna med varandra i strävan att analysera och förstå epistemologier, diskurser och praktiker som konstituerar kön. Fälten förenas i ett intresse för hur betydelser av begrepp som kön, genus, trans, cis, kvinna, man och queer är i kontinuerlig förändring.Med utgångspunkt i begreppet cisnormativitet diskuteras förhållandena mellan feminismer och transstudier. Numret fokuserar på några av de samtal som redan existerar såväl inom som utanför akademin: Hur ser förhållandena ut mellan feminismer och transstudier? Vad betyder fälten för varandra? Hur kan de utmana och informera varandra?Det här numret av TGV samlar alltså delar av den skandinaviska forskning som arbetar med frågor kring cisnormativitet och feminismer, och som pågår i överlappningarna mellan transstudier, feministisk forskning, och queer teori.

Business Process Management: Blockchain and Robotic Process Automation Forum
- 2020
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This volume contains the proceedings of the Blockchain Forum and the RoboticProcess Automation (RPA) Forum, which took place during the week of September13–18, 2020. Both of the forums were organized as part of the 18th InternationalConference on Business Process Management (BPM 2020). Due to the COVID-19pandemic, the main conference itself and most of its associated events were heldvirtually. The authors of the blockchain papers that appear in these proceedings pre-sented their work to a virtual audience and engaged in online discussions with peers,practitioners, students, and others. The RPA Forum was organized in a hybrid form:Presenters had the opportunity to join online orin situ, in Seville, Spain. As part of theRPA Forum, additional industrial demonstrations and a panel were organized. MoeWynn of Queensland University of Technology, Australia, gave the keynote talk at theRPA Forum.The Blockchain Forum and the RPA Forum have in common that they are centeredaround an emerging and exciting technology. Blockchain is a sophisticated distributedledger technology, while RPA software allows for mimicking human, repetitiveactions. Each of these have the potential to fundamentally change how business pro-cesses are being orchestrated and executed in practice. The BPM community hasembraced these technologies as objects of analysis, design, development, and evalu-ation. The forums were also created to allow for a discussion with researchers fromotherfields who share their interest in these technologies, whether this is from aneconomic, sociological, business, mathematical, or other viewpoint. The BlockchainForum took place for the second time, after itsfirst successful appearance at BPM 2019in Vienna. The RPA Forum made its debut this year at BPM 2020.In the spring of 2020, when the deadlines for paper submissions to the forumsexpired, it was not clear how–if at all–these events would take place. At that time,parts of the world were already suffering from the spread of COVID-19. Despite theuncertainty, both events received a fair amount of submissions by author teams from awide range of institutes and countries. The Blockchain Forum received 10 papers ofwhich the top 5 were accepted as full papers; the RPA Forum even received 18submissions, which led to the acceptance of the top 9 as full papers. Given the 50%acceptance for each of the events, this rate applies to these proceedings as a whole. Inaddition, one submission to the RPA Forum was accepted as a short paper because ofits promising nature and timely contribution. For both forums, each submission wasreviewed by at least three members of the respective Program Committees.We hope that the reader of these proceedings will enjoy the versatility of theincluded papers, as well as the creativity that the authors put into their work. Manyof the papers present fresh perspectives, which we expect to shape how the involvedtechnologies will evolve over time and how they will be applied in practice. We wouldlike to thank the authors for submitting and presenting their work. We are also gratefulto our colleagues who served as reviewers in the screening process and provided the authors with meaningful and constructive feedback. We want to explicitly acknowl-edge the effort of Appian and MCCM Innovations for their contribution to the RPAForum: they provided an industrial perspective on RPA by demonstrating how thetechnology is applied in practice. Finally, we are indebted to all the people from theBPM 2020 team, who supported us and created the setting for both events. Without their help, these forums would not have taken place.
