- Gender equality (GE) is something ‘we cannot not want’. Indeed, the pursuit of equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all women and men throughout a society freed from gendered oppression is widely visible in recent organizational GE initiatives. In practice, however, GE initiatives often fail in challenging gendered norms and at effecting deep-seated change. In fact, GE measures tend to encounter resistance, with a gap between saying and doing. Using a GE project at a Swedish university, we examined the changing nature of reactions to GE objectives seeking to understand why gender inequality persists in academia. We used ‘resistance’ to identify multiple, complex reactions to the project, focusing on the discursive practices of GE. Focusing our contextual analysis on change and changes in reactions enabled a process-oriented analysis that revealed gaps where change is possible. Thus, we argue that studying change makes it possible to identify points in time where gendered discriminatory norms are more likely to occur. However, analysing discursive practices does not itself lead to change nor to action. Rather, demands for change must start with answering, in a collaborative way, what problem we are trying to solve when we start a new GE project, in order to be relevant to the specific context. Otherwise, GE risks being the captive of consensus politics and gender inequality will persist.

Mångfaldsbarometern : Tio år av attitydmätningar i Sverige
- 2015. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Boken är en samling av de flesta texter som harpublicerats i samband med Mångfaldsbarometern.I det första kapitlet redogör Fereshteh Ahmadi,Mehrdad Darvishpour och Irving Palm för resultatfrån Mångfaldsbarometern från 2005 – 2014 ochäven andra undersökningar. De presenterar ocksåen sociologisk analys av insamlade data undertio år.I det andra kapitlet presenterar Orlando Mella deförsta årens resultat utifrån ett sociologiskt perspektiv,både teoretiskt och metodologiskt.I det tredje kapitlet förklarar Orlando Mella resultatenav sju års mätningar av attityder till mångfald, av mätningarav attityder mot mångfald och fastställer ochtolkar vissa tendenser som stabila profiler.I det fjärde kapitlet fokuseras på mångfalden i arbetslivet.Den svenska välfärden är tydligt relaterad till invandring.Att underlätta för invandrare att få möjlighettill arbete och egen försörjning har ansetts viktigt förderas integrering i samhället. Invånarnas egna erfarenheterav kontakter med personer med utländsk bakgrundvisar sig påverka befolkningens attityder liksom kön,ålder och utbildning.I det femte kapitlet behandlas problem kring integration.Mångfaldsbarometern 2009 som kompletterats medett antal intervjuer visar att en stor andel av befolkningenhar positiva erfarenheter av invandrare och menar attde skall ha samma rättigheter och möjligheter som deninfödda befolkningen. Studien visar dock att den socialatoleransen har sina gränser och tycks förändras över tid.Kapitlen 6-15 består av de årliga rapporterna avMångfaldsbarometern. I dessa rapporter hittar manstatistik och förklaringar till de olika tabeller och figurersom presenteras.I slutet av boken presenteras en lista över en delviktiga artiklar som skrevs i massmedia om Mångfaldsbarometern.

- In this study, we map and describe the coping methods used by members of the university community in Sweden to deal with the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic. This study, which used simple random sampling, was quantitative. It employed a modified version of the RCOPE instrument as well as items from earlier studies of meaning-making coping in Sweden. Among participants (n = 277, 64% women), the most frequently used coping method was nature as a resource in dealing with stress and sadness, followed by listening to the sounds of surrounding nature and thinking of life as part of a greater whole; these coping methods were the most common in all subgroups studied. We used a cultural perspective to better understand the application of certain meaning-making coping methods.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This scoping review focuses on the assessment of commensality in research and attempts to identify used methods for performing research on commensality. It reflects a multidisciplinary research field and draws on findings from Web of Science Core Collection, up to April 2019. The empirical material consisted of 61 studies, whereof most were qualitative research, and some were of quantitative character, including very few dietary surveys. The findings show nine papers categorized as using quantitative approaches, 52 papers were categorized as qualitative. The results show a wide variety of different ways to try to find and understand how commensality can be understood and identified. There seems to be a shift in the very concept of commensality as well as some variations around the concept. This paper argues the need to further investigate the importance of commensality for health and wellbeing, as well as the need to gather data on health and health-related behaviors, living conditions and sociodemographic data in parallel. The review shows the broad-ranging areas where commensality is researched, from cultural and historical areas to ethnographic or anthropological areas over to dietary assessment. To complement large dietary surveys with methods of assessing who you are eating with in what environment should be a simple way to further our knowledge on the circumstances of meal intake and the importance of commensality. To add 24-h dietary recall to any study of commensality is another way of identifying the importance of commensality for dietary quality. The use of mixed methods research was encouraged by several authors as a good way forward in the assessment of commensality and its importance.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Commensal meals seem to be related to a better nutritional and metabolic health as well as an improved quality of life. The aim of this paper was to examine to what extent research was performed using the search term commensality related to assessment of timing of meals. A scoping review was performed, where 10 papers were identified as specifically addressing the assessment of timing of commensality of meals. Time use studies, questionnaires, and telephone- and person-to-person interviews were used for assessing meal times in relation to commensality. Four of the studies used a method of time use registration, and six papers used interviews or questionnaires. Common meals with family members were the most common, and dinners late at night were often preferred for commensal activities among the working population. In conclusion, the family meal seemed to be the most important commensal meal. It is clear from the collected papers and from previous systematic reviews that more studies of commensal meals in general and about timing aspects in particular and in relation to nutritional health are essential to provide a solid background of knowledge regarding the importance of timing in relation to commensal meals.

Biocultural Refugia : Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is urgent need to both reduce the rate of biodiversity loss caused by industrialized agriculture and feed morepeople. The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of places that harbor traditional ecological knowledge, artifacts, and methodswhen preserving biodiversity and ecosystem services in landscapes of food production. We use three examples in Europe ofbiocultural refugia, defined as the physical places that not only shelter farm biodiversity, but also carry knowledge and experiencesabout practical management of how to produce food while stewarding biodiversity and ecosystem services. Memory carriersinclude genotypes, landscape features, oral, and artistic traditions and self-organized systems of rules, and as such reflect adiverse portfolio of practices on how to deal with unpredictable change. We find that the rich biodiversity of many regionallydistinct cultural landscapes has been maintained through different smallholder practices developed in relation to localenvironmental fluctuations and carried within biocultural refugia for as long as millennia. Places that transmit traditionalecological knowledge and practices hold important lessons for policy makers since they may provide genetic and culturalreservoirs — refugia — for the wide array of species that have co-evolved with humans in Europe for more than 6000 thousandyrs. Biodiversity restoration projects in domesticated landscapes can employ the biophysical elements and cultural practicesembedded in biocultural refugia to create locally adapted small-scale mosaics of habitats that allow species to flourish and adaptto change. We conclude that such insights must be included in discussions of land-sparing vs. land-sharing when producingmore food while combating loss of biodiversity. We found the latter strategy rational in domesticated landscapes with a longhistory of agriculture

Under the Press(ure)? : The Role of Media in Organisation and Provision of Municipal Elderly Care
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- What is the role of media(tisation) in organisation and provision of elderly care? By looking at how planning, organising and execution of elderly care is understood in two Swedish municipalities this paper seeks to contribute to discussions of the ways in which values, preferences and working practices of news media play out in shaping conditions for provision of municipal welfare services. Our findings suggest that we can see the role of media values and preferences as embedded – although in different ways and to varying extent – in three distinct but inter-related processes that influence how actors connected to organisation and provision of municipal welfare services understand and relate to each other. These are: 1) setting the aims, aspirations and priorities in the provision of welfare services (i.e., the what); 2) translating these aims, aspirations and priorities into necessary means, resources and activities (i.e., the how); and 3) explaining and justifying the what and the how to different constituencies (i.e., the why). The paper concludes that commonly held values and beliefs about media reinforce the ongoing changes in the governing regime of elderly care in a direction where the role of municipal administrative bodies is more explicitly articulated, especially in terms of accountability and responsibility.

Äldreomsorgen i historisk belysning : organisering, politisering, professionalisering
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapportens syfte är att skapa förståelse för äldreomsorgens praktik, styrning och ideologi idag, genom att sätta detta i ett historiskt sammanhang. Vi visar hur styrning och ledning av äldreomsorgen gradvis blir mer abstrakta och hur styrningspraktiken distanseras från den sociala verkligheten. Detta går hand i hand med, och menar vi kanske delvis beror på att, nya mer professionella tjänstemannagrupper, ibland helt utan erfarenhet och utbildning inom äldreomsorgen fått en viktigare roll, samtidigt som kommunpolitiken alltmer partipolitiserats och samtidigt blivit en karriärväg för de ledande partiföreträdarna. Vårt fokus ligger på nutiden, men för att förstå denna går vi tillbaka i äldreomsorgens historia, och beskriver hur äldreomsorgen utformats under olika tider, samt hur det uppstod en kommunal politikerroll som skulle styra äldreomsorgen. Efter det beskriver vi hur de yrkesgrupper som dominerar administration och organisation av äldreomsorgen vuxit fram och utvecklats. Slutligen diskuterar vi konsekvenserna av utvecklingen för äldreomsorgen idag. Rapportens empiriska material bygger på arkivmaterial från Uppsala kommun samt nationella och lokala styrdokument av social omsorg i allmänhet och äldreomsorg i synnerhet.
