Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I detta samtal bjuder vi in till ett utbyte av erfarenheter och tankar om hur vi som pedagoger kan arbeta med kunskap som på ett mer grundläggande plan är utmanande för studenterna. Med utmanande menar vi i detta sammanhang inte att kunskapen är tekniskt svår eller komplex utan att den ger studenten skäl att ifrågasätta tidigare positioner. Ett ifrågasättande som direkt eller i förlängningen berör inte bara det ämne som är fokus för undervisningen utan studentens självbild, samhällssyn, ideologi mm. Vi talar om en typ av transformativ kunskap som på något plan är irreversibel (den enskilde studenten kan inte gå tillbaka till en position som förelåg kunskapandet) och vilken inte sällan kan ge upphov till ilska, irritation, och frustration hos studenter. Snarare än att få en ’lösning’ når studenten ett tillstånd av kunskapande som genererar nya frågor. Temat knyter an till det som Perkins benämnt ”troublesome learning” (Perkins 1999). Vi (Stendahl och Arvidsson) har båda från olika håll och med olika pedagogiska verktyg medvetet arbetet med besvärligt kunskapande i högskolepedagogiska situationer. Stendahl i sitt arbete med tröskelbegrepp (Meyer, Land 2003, 2005; Stendahl, Swedrup, Åberg 2021) och Arvidsson i sitt pedagogiska arbete i akademisk handledning med ’den analytiska situationen’ utifrån psykoanalytisk teori och praktik (Owler 1999, Arvidsson 2023). Vi initierar samtal om det pedagogiska värdet av att medvetet arbeta med pedagogik som kan ge upphov till fundamentala perspektivskiften. Referenser Arvidsson, M. 2023.

Ordering Human-Other relationships: International Humanitarian Law and Ecologies of Armed Conflicts in the Anthropocene
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Law and Anthropocentrism. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367858223 - 9781000892222 ; , s. 122-141
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyses the international humanitarian legal ordering of human and other relationships during armed conflict and disaster by looking at two examples, namely the ‘natural’ environment and human-scientific constructed AI-powered swarms of drones. Drawing on these examples, as well as post-anthropocentric and posthuman legal scholaship, we argue that International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has some potential in developing in a post-anthropocentric direction, specifically in reorienting its focus from armed conflicts to violent outbursts by making use of the Deleuze-Guattarian notion of ‘war-machines’. We argue that this will eable IHL to offer a better protection on a less anthropocentric and more inclusive and equal basis in a shared posthuman ecology. The chapter offers an overview of current legal regulations as well as a theoretical and practice-oriented outline for the development of IHL.

Migrant Employment Integration and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 32nd annual workshop of the Swedish Artificial Intelligence Society (SAIS) online conference, June 16 – 17, 2020..
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Employment integration is a cornerstone of migrant integration into host society. Though many AI initiatives targeting migrants have been initiated, research is limited on the design, outcomes and effectiveness of such initiatives. Today, there is a lack of effective implementation protocols and opportunities to assess whether these technologies constitute successful intervention tools and actually contribute to migrant integration.This four-year interdisciplinary research projectseeks to gain a deeper understanding of thechallengesandopportunitiesthatartificialintelligence(AI)entailsforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegrationandworkplaceinclusion. We address the following research ques-tions:1. How is AI used by migrants, their co-workers and the actors involved in their employment integration process? 2. How does AI enhance migrant professional competences?and 3. What are pathways to success of AI interventions for integration and inclusion purposes?Acombination of qualitative and quantitative research methods (interviews, focus groups, shadowing and interactive workshops) is used. Insix work packages (WPs)we analyze and identify the challenges and opportunities thatAI entailforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegration. Apart from contributing to theorizing migrant integration and AI, we also aim at providing a robust evidence-base for ‘good’ policy-making, regulatory guidelines and administration of profession-oriented integration process.Finally, we want to contribute to better understanding of how AI can contribute to overcoming prejudice and discrimination, which, in turn, can lead to mutual learning and building sustainable, wel-coming and secure communities.

Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Gender and International Law
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. - Oxford : Oxford Universitty Press.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ‘Gender’ as a specific topic of concern appeared gradually within international law and scholarship, initially by scholars drawing on feminist theories. A central concern in the scholarship is how gender relates to sex. For some scholars, gender is useful for distinguishing social constructions from biological sex. For others, this distinction is problematic as it conceals the way sex is also socially constructed. Reflecting these scholarly debates, the way gender is defined and relates to sex is not consistent in international legal instruments or scholarship. Another dividing question is how gender, sex, and ‘women’s situation’ relate. For some, gender means a focus on women. This conflation is questioned by others. The gender/woman question injects confusion and political force in international legal debates. More recently, gender identity has attracted attention, and while gender equality has long been a central topic of concern, states and scholars critical of what they consider ‘gender ideology’ in instruments such as the Yogyakarta Principles and the Istanbul Convention, have sought to advance ‘gender complementarity’ in its stead. For scholars committed to gender equality, ‘gender complementarity’ is conceived of as a backlash. These topics of concern do not reflect any specific theoretical or methodological approach and it is not possible to divide the theoretical and methodological approaches according to topic. Instead, the debates are pursued in a variety of ways: An early approach that remains significant seeks to identify structural biases in seemingly neutral or universal instruments. This can be contrasted to scholarship analyzing international instruments explicitly engaging with gender, the way international law partakes in forming gendered subjects, and processes of gender mainstreaming. The role of gender in gender based violence continues to be questioned. More recently, queer approaches have sought to question the normative in international law, and a theoretical focus on men and masculinity has emerged as a response to the focus on women in gender and international law debates. Aiming at granularity and ‘localizing’ gender, anthropological and ethnographic approaches contribute with narratives breaking with universalizing tendencies in international law. Similarly, intersectional, TWAIL and posthuman feminist debates approach gender as part of broader concerns, while some scholas have turned to history in order to rethink gendered aspects of international law. Natural science methods, including emerging technologies such as AI, are also used to analyze gender concerns. How gender is debated, analyzed, and questioned through different methodological and theoretical approaches demonstrate the political vibrancy of gender as a concept in international law.

Gendering Public and Private International Law: Transversal Legal Histories of the State, Market and Women’s Private Property Rights
- 2024
-
Ingår i: American Journal of International Law. - 0002-9300. ; 118, s. 12-17
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay takes on Karen Knop’s suggestion to engage private international law (PIL) as ‘a lost side of international law’ (IL) to promote new transversal and disciplinary insights on gender and international legal history. It joins a growing scholarship on the interface of public and private law as mutually constituting dynamics, reconsidering the relationship between the state and the market, imperium and dominium. Its’ focus is on the changing fortunes (literally) of women’s private property rights in the long nineteenth century – a period characterized by the divestment and reinstatement of such rights in national law for both married and unmarried women. Often considered a domestic law matter - and a matter of the home (oikos), the private domain, of dominum - both within legislative frameworks and the academic literature, the differences and frictions in national law regarding the regulation of private property for women were brought to the fore through cross-border transactions, relationships and disputes related to marriage, succession etc. Drawing on Knop’s work, we take the development of women’s property law rights through PIL during the 19th Century in - focusing on Nordic legal history. We ask: what are the mutually constituting dynamics between PIL and IL in this development? And how should we understand the gendered aspect of the private (oikos)/public (polis) divide in relations between dominium and imperium in these transversal legal histories of women’s property rights? Tracing the PIL aspects of gender and property rights during this era not only expands the historical feminist legal cartography and its primary vocabulary of public law, but seeks to uncover new transnational legal elements to the history of women’s property rights.

Digital Echoes: Listening to New Normativities in International Law and Technology
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Völkerrechtsblog.
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The first season of “Digital Echoes” brings together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever-increasing digitisation of socio-economic life from an (international) legal perspective. We have assembled a stellar group of thinkers who invite us to explore how Digital Technologies are changing and challenging the modes in which law and governance operate. How to formulate questions to address the relationship between international law and technology and its implications for governance? They invite us to think with them about what it means to talk about digital spaces or digital rights. To contemplate the topologies of normativity that these terms connote and to investigate how power operates in techno legal assemblages? Enjoy listening! In this podcast Andrea Leiter, Delphine Dogot, Matilda Arvidsson, Fleur Johns and Dimitri Van Den Meerssche explore different ways of how they came to engage with international law and technology.

Marine ecosystem bodies as entangled environments and entangled laws: drones and the marine environment
- 2023
-
Ingår i: American Journal of International Law Unbound. - 2398-7723. ; 117, s. 145-150
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The adoption of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the steady development of international environmental law in the twentieth century shaped the marine environment as an object of legal protection. However, the exponential growth of substantive obligations to protect the marine environment, conserve marine biodiversity, and prevent marine pollution, has been largely ineffective due to lack of enforcement. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed for marine environmental protection are seen, in scholarship and policy, as a means to close the enforcement gap, thereby revolutionizing the field by significantly increasing states’ maritime awareness. In contrast, our tentative analysis shows that while UAVs can translate complex environmental concerns into data readily available for analysis and action, such datafication of marine environments comes with high risks. More specifically, datafication enables multiple uses of gathered data, including for surveillance, military, and commercial purposes. These concerns tend to fall outside current debates on the international regulation of the use of UAVs in marine environments. In our essay, we explore whether international law recognizes the possibilities and risks involved in deploying UAVs into the marine environment. We draw on doctrinal and posthuman feminist legal approaches to analyze how UAVs interact with the wider context of “marine ecosystem bodies” in terms of international law, as well as how those terms may need to be reconfigured to accommodate the complexity of the many actors, agents, and materials of marine ecosystems.

AI, law and (anti)fascism
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Critical Legal Conference.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Taking que from Maria Hlavajova and Wietske Maas (eds) Propositions for Non-Fascist Living: Tentative and Urgent this stream asks about the figuration of law and fascism embedded in the posthuman condition: What, where, how, and why do we need to attend to fascism in our everyday lives as living with the law? Why look to present iterations of fascism in emerging technologies which we, as already more-than-human, or humans +, are entangled with when state fascism from the past and present still haunts present democratic forms of governance? Specifically, the stream invites critical assessments of the relations between AI, law and (anti) fascism. How is fascism part of the posthuman legal condition and, conversely, how does anti-fascism take form as part of it? The stream takes as its starting position an understanding of (micro-) fascism in the posthuman condition as follows: Fascism is immanent to desiring-production: fascism "seems to come from the outside, but it finds its energy right at the heart of everyone's desire." (Guattari 1995: 245). Fascism is everywhere and to desire is to activate it in some measure at different scales within a microphysics of power relations. Fascism is not merely a historical phenomenon (with German, Italian and Spanish varieties) that has passed away and will never happen again; it is not outside, that is, retrievable and renewable like a complete artifact, in that respect. This is one of many ways in which to consider fascism in the posthuman condition.
