Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The right to citizenship is an important right that every child should enjoy. In a general discussion on nationality, acquisition and loss of citizenship, the rights of the child against the background of extensive international migration, the article argues about the multiple aspects embedded in the citizenship concept and its practical content, presenting the legal status quo in the matter in the Swedish context.

Unpacking Concepts of Maternity
- 2023

Ingår i: Nordic Law and Gender 2023.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Who is a mother? In recent decades, a broader array of family and parenthood scenarios has been legally recognized in Sweden, as well as in several other jurisdictions. However, at least in Sweden, the rules of maternity continue to be rooted in ancient Roman principles, presuming that a child's mother is the woman who gives birth. This principle has been challenged by adoption, uncertain maternity, egg donation, surrogacy, same-sex couples, and transgender parents. Yet, these situations are governed by exception rules, which are often more complicated and less favourable for the child. My PhD thesis explores the evolution of legal parenthood from a norm-critical perspective. This involves critically examining and highlighting what is perceived as standard or neutral, what are considered special cases or exceptions to such norms, and what is viewed as non-existent. Maternity is intimately tied to perceptions of womanhood. This paper seeks to explore how patterns of norms and exceptions in legal parenthood can be understood when approached from different angles, such as essentialism, social constructivism, performative acts, and material conditions.

To have or not to have? Success rates in the termination of protective custody of children in Sweden

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden comparatively has a large proportion of children in protective custody, as well as long terms of placement. This can be understood as a token of social welfare ambition, but also of its failure. Law and society-literature show that experienced litigants enjoy higher success rates in court proceedings than one-shot litigants. In compulsory care proceedings, individual parties against whom coercive measures are brought are usually “have nots”, whereas opposing authorities have vast resources at their disposal. The termination of protective custody is against this background examined, tracing not only relevant factors, but also explaining individual outcomes. In administrative proceedings of all types (Risenfors/Lorentzson) individuals’ success rates were overall low; however, protective custody and its termination were even lower (up to 99%). Child protective custody proceedings have certain particularities, explaining success rates. It is a typical case of haves vs haves not (in Galanter’s terminology) – public authorities enjoy the necessary litigation infrastructure whereas individuals are subjected to protective custody proceedings because of various incapacities. On the other hand, it is not a clean-cut matter of litigation experience, as many individuals in protective custody are also repeat players (albeit less so than their opposing parties). There remain other tokens of procedural imbalance. The litigation type includes a representation anomaly as compared to other administrative procedures. On the one hand, individuals are always granted legal aid; on the other, this does not constitute effective counsel (Wejedal/Östlund). The context of “therapeutic law” in itself produces an inequality of arms (Sjöström/Jacobsson. Albeit formally inter partes, in this respect it is not truly adversarial, which places the problem’s procedural dimensions within the wider legal discourse on access to justice, and ultimately within dimensions of social inequalities.

’Age restriction on social media’ as an attempt to protect children in the digital society – what dilemmas could be identified from the child´s perspective?
- 2016
-
Ingår i: IAMCR 2016 Conference - Children's and Young People's Rights in the Digital Age.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Swedish government is currently preparing the introduction of age restriction for social media. The age restriction risk being as high as 16 years. In reality, this means that children will be put in a situation were they need to ask their parent for permission to use social media such as for example Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. The Swedish response is based upon the agreement reached by the European Parliament and Council on the data protection reform proposed by the Commission. They argue that the reform is an essential step to strengthen citizens' fundamental rights in the digital age and describes the specific protection for children as follows: The Regulation recognizes that children deserve specific protection of their personal data, as they may be less aware of risks, consequences, safeguards and their rights in relation to the processing of personal data. For instance, they benefit from a clearer right to be forgotten. When it comes to information society services offered directly to a child, the Regulation foresees that consent for processing the data of a child must be given or authorized by the holder of the parental responsibility over the child. The age threshold is for Member States to define within a range of 13 to 16 years. The aim of this specific provision aims at protecting children from being pressured to share personal data without fully realizing the consequences. It will not to stop teenagers from using the Internet to get information, advice, education etc. Moreover, the Regulation specifies that the consent of the holder of parental responsibility should not be necessary in the context of preventive or counselling services offered directly to a child. This study will focus upon the child’s perspective on the suggestion of introducing age restrictions on social media as an attempt to strengthen the protection of children in the digital society and discuss potential dilemmas. Focus groups will be conducted within this study.

Technology neutrality and regulation of agricultural biotechnology
- 2018

Ingår i: Professionals in food chains: ethics, rules and responsibility. EurSafe 2018, Vienna, Austria 13 – 16 June 2018 / edited by: Svenja Springer, Herwig Grimm. - Wageningen, Netherlands : Wageningen Academic Publishers. - 9789086863211

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Agricultural biotechnology, in particular genetically modified organisms (GMOs), is subject to regulation in many areas of the world, not least in the European Union (EU). A number of authors have argued that those regulatory processes are unfair, costly, and slow and that regulation therefore should move in the direction of increased ‘technology neutrality’. The issue is becoming more pressing, especially since new biotechnologies such as CRISPR increasingly blur the regulatory distinction between GMOs and non-GMOs. This paper offers a definition of technology neutrality, uses the EU GMO regulation as a starting point for exploring technology neutrality, and presents distinctions between variants of the call for technology neutral GMO regulation in the EU.

Governmental Surveillance - The balance between security and privacy
- 2020
-
Ingår i: UK Academy for Information Systems Conference Proceedings 2020.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The increased digitalisation of society and recent developments in AI is laying the ground for surveillance capabilities of a magnitude we have not seen before. Surveillance can be conducted by several different actors in society, this project focuses on the Swedish police currently using a large ensemble of surveillance technologies. Earlier this year, significant legislative changes governing the police authorities use of digital surveillance were enacted. These changes mean that the police now have been given an extended mandate to use digital surveillance as part of their professional practice, which places demands on balanced decisions and informed responsibility. On the one hand, the police have an interest to use digital surveillance to increase efficiency and security in society; on the other hand, the police must balance their interests with citizen’s so-called integrity-interests and right to privacy. This study will therefore examine to what extent the Swedish Police Authority pay attention to questions such as integrity and privacy when introducing digital surveillance. The study is guided by the following questions: (i) What opportunities can be related to the implementation and use of digital surveillance in police work? (ii) What kind of challenges do the increasing use of digital surveillance create between organisational governance, police officers’ work practice, and the integrity of citizens - and how do the police tackle these challenges? Theoretically, we draw on the established research fields on surveillance and privacy and empirically this study is designed as a qualitative study of the Swedish Police as our main case.
