Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Including the voices and knowledge of service users is essential for developing recovery-oriented and evidence-based mental health services. Recent studies have however, suggested that challenges remain to the legitimization of user knowledge in practice. To further explore such challenges, a co-production study was conducted by a team of researchers and representatives from user organizations in Sweden. The aim of the study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to the legitimacy of user knowledge, as a central factor in sustainably implementing user influence in mental health practice. A series of workshops, with representatives of mental health services and user organizations were conducted by the research team to explore these issues. The analysis built on the theoretical framework of epistemic injustice, and the underlying aspects, testimonial, hermeneutic and participation-based injustice, were utilized as a framework for a deductive analysis. Results suggest that this is a useful model for exploring the complex dynamics related to the legitimacy of user knowledge in mental health systems. The analysis suggests that the legitimacy of user knowledge is related to the representativeness of the knowledge base, the systematic formulation of this knowledge inapplicable methods, access to resources and positions within the mental health system and participation in the process of integrating this knowledge-base in mental health contexts. Legitimizing user knowledge in practice additionally challenges mental health systems to support readiness for change in working environments and to address the power and role issues that these changes involve.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tourism in the wake of films, literature, and music is gaining interest among academics and practitioners alike. Despite the significance of converging tourism and media production and popcultural consumption, theorizing in this field is weak. This chapter explores complex relationships among popcultural phenomena, destination image creation, and tourism consumption. By taking a broader social science approach, it revisits and connects research themes, such as symbolic consumption, negotiated representations, fans and fandom, technology mediation, and media convergence. The chapter concludes with an integrative model, or "popcultural placemaking loop," which is qualified through six propositions. Copyright © 2015 by Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Hantverksbryggerinäringens samverkan och betydelse för små och medelstora företags tillväxt på Gotland
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Abstract The craft brewery industry on Gotland is particularly vital and well known in Sweden, but nonetheless holds significant development potential. The main purpose of this study has been to construct a situational awareness of the craft beer value chain on Gotland, and to identify its key actors. Furthermore, in order for the craft breweries to become a more prominent part of Gotland's business and tourism and visitor industry, different needs have been identified and analyzed. These needs have then been used to develop an action plan that in the long term can facilitate and enable Gotland's craft brewers to improve their processes and products. Furthermore, the analysis is based on an international research review, Michael Porter's value chain model and extensive field works on Gotland. The results show that two actions appear to be particularly important. The first is about the possibilities of coordinating and using logistics, transports and modern brewery technologies in a more economically beneficial and environmentally friendly way. An important initial part of the action plan is to map the craft brewery industry's transport, communication and technology utilization needs. This mapping is proposed to be carried out with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Thus, the brewery industry's value chain needs to be analyzed geographically in order to develop sustainable business models that include transport, logistics and a sharing of expensive brewery equipment. The second action plan is more long-term and is about the establishment of a brewery meeting place which constitutes a regional (and in the long term national) center for knowledge sharing and practical craftsmanship about the brewing of high quality beer.

Imagining the Land of Compassion
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Western society has increasingly turned to different kinds of spirituality in dealing with an accelerated tempo and demands in everyday post-modern life. Yoga, meditation, mindfulness and other forms of modalities, often connected to ancient eastern thinking, are taught and implemented in management and leadership practises (Cederström & Spicer, 2015). Although organizational theorizing has previously excluded issues of spirituality, an increasing interest in this discourse has awakened (cf. Fry, Latham, Clinebell & Krahnke, 2016). For instance, an important sub-field of organizational theory where non-rational views of organizations actually already have evolved is the field of leadership, that commonly addresses non-rationalistic ideals in organizations such as emotions, visions and transformative change (cf. Bass, 1990). In line with a growing interest in alternative ways of organising our lives as both consumers and producers (as taking part of building our societies through business or non-profit operations) to take care of each other and the world, compassion is a concept to be explored. This is particularly the case when it comes to creating places of leisure and relaxation. The challenge is to create and implement compassionate and sustainable leisure places of community that allows people to catch their breath. These environments need to be conscious, supportive and compassionate to function as intended: to be like a shelter in a contemporary society that stresses other goals and priorities (as efficiency, rationality, environmentally unsustainable economic growth and so on). In this paper we present a case study, an attempt by lifestyle and leisure entrepreneurs to build a leisure community in Northern Cyprus, through the invocation of entrepreneurial and organizational leadership strategies of compassion, care, mindfulness and consciousness. We approach this case study through the following research questions: How can we understand compassionate organising? How is compassionate leadership practised? The aim is to explore compassionate leadership and, through a combination of sociological theories of space and insights in quantum theory, offer an empowering understanding of compassionate organisational spaces. In order to understand compassionate organisational spaces we need to turn to socio-spatial theoretical outlines of the nature and constitution of environments (Massey, 2005). Our understanding of that builds on an inherently relational notion of space. Here, physical distance is not the sole or primary factor or variable. Rather, space is unfolded by social relations (of caring and compassion) that transgress physical distances and institutional barriers (Deleuze, 1993; Doel, 1999; Shields, 2013). This approach harmonizes (and is here combined) with the world-view expressed in quantum theory (non-locality and entanglement: that cause and effect works regardless of how far apart they are and that reality is created by consciousness) (Abrahamsson, 2012; Pernecky, 2016). To distill the reasoning somewhat: compassion and consciousness are in themselves unfolded spatialities that can be nurtured into sustainable environments (as things can be observed into existence due to the mind-interdependence of quantum reality).

The Gender Gap in the Tourism Academy : Statistics and Indicators of Gender Equality
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study is part of an ongoing research project entitled “While Waiting for the Dawn,” which explores the role that gender plays in the lives of women scholars and students in the tourism academy. This report maps gender equality in the tourism academy through a series of key indicators that reflect leadership in the field. These indicators include editorial positions in journals, positions on conference committees, and keynote speakers, among others. Results clearly show a gender gap within the tourism academy and an imbalance in the influence of women and men in key leadership roles, and suggest that tourism scholarship mirrors the patriarchal structures that characterize the global academy. Gender imbalances are not self‐correcting, and proactive policies and initiatives need to be implemented to tackle the gender gap and to avoid the perpetuation of unequal opportunities. We hope this report will help to raise awareness and contribute to creating a more just academy, where women have equal opportunities to shape the present and the future of tourism scholarship.

Vad är nytt? : kunskapssammanställning av kommunal arbetsmarknadspolitik
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Arbetsmarknad & Arbetsliv. - Karlstad : Karlstads universitet. - 1400-9692 .- 2002-343X. ; 25:3-4, s. 108-128

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Den svenska kommunala arbetsmarknadspolitiken har expanderat sedan 1990-talet. Kommunala arbetsmarknadsåtgärder kostar 5 miljarder, involverar 5 300 årsarbetare och 110 000 deltagare årligen. Enligt den senaste kunskapssammanställningen publicerad 2012 är kunskapen om vad som görs och uppnås begränsad. I artikeln sammanfattas kunskapsläget mellan 2012-17. Vi genomför en systematisk forskningsöversikt genom att kartlägga, redovisa och slutligen syntetisera litteraturen utifrån fyra teman: varför initieras kommunala arbetsmarknadsåtgärder, hur dessa organiseras, effekter för deltagarna samt hur det praktiska arbetet bedrivs. I artikeln dras följande slutsatser: forskningen är alltjämt begränsad, det finns få effektstudier, individualisering och decentralisering utgör centrala beståndsdelar och arbetsmarknadsåtgärderna har en tveksam kvalitet.

Finding Gender at the Intersection of Family and Field: Family Presences in Sweden
- 2020
-
Ingår i: ; , s. 53-54
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gender influences how researchers engage with the field. Departing from this proposition, this presentation offers reflections on gender from masculine viewpoints in the context of a qualitative research project investigating lifestyle enterprising in southern Sweden. Focusing on personal experiences associated with family relocation to, and involvement in, the research process, the presentation focuses on the emergence of masculinities of husband-hood and fatherhood at the intersection of family and field. Exploring the processes of family relocation, site selection and apprehension, the presentation shows how masculinities of fatherhood and husband-hood influence research processes in the field as well as beyond it. Assorted contingent masculinities stemming from family positions of fatherhood and husband-hood affects the whole research enterprise, not only in the space of ‘the field’ but also in the spaces that lie ‘before’, ‘after’ and ‘beyond’ it. This suggests that the reflective researcher is doubly troubled by finding gender in ‘the field’ as well as determining where the entanglements of gender and field start and stop. Furthermore, the masculinities at the intersection of family and field are not a one-way street but are bidirectional, spilling beyond the professional domain of the researcher’s relation to the field into the personal domain of their relation to the family. In recognizing the wider implications of the masculine entanglements of family and field, gender emerges as an existential epistemological condition of social life, the broader implication is that researchers have little option but to tackle the complex challenges of gender everywhere, both in and beyond ‘the field’.

The experience of quality of life among older people
- 2005
-
Ingår i: Journal of Aging Studies. - : Elsevier BV. - 0890-4065 .- 1879-193X. ; 19:2, s. 201-220
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although quality of life has been in the focus of attention for over a decade there are few studies available investigating, how the old and the oldest old experience their quality of life or what quality of life actually means for them? To illuminate this, eleven in-depth interviews were conducted with six women and five men (80+) living in their home. An interpretative hermeneutic phenomenological analysis revealed that quality of life in old age meant a preserved self and meaning in existence. Maintained self-image meant that the older people experienced a coherent life with an intact meaning. How quality of life was valued depended on the meaning the old people attached to the areas of importance as well as how they were evaluated. Additionally, areas not generally included when measuring quality of life became discernible. The meaning of home, how life was viewed, thoughts about death and dying, and telling ones story proved to be areas of importance for their perception of quality of life. Thus, indicating that older people's view of quality of life is more complex than some of today's most commonly used quality of life instruments capture and that quality of life assessment tools needs to measure beyond pure health indices. For nursing care the use of life review in everyday care, and an open way towards existential topics as well as a family oriented care along with preventive work helping people to remain in their own homes may enhance their experience of quality of life.
