"Jag vill gärna ha hjälp, men ta inte mina barn" : Föräldraskap hos föräldrar med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning
- 2023
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Parents with intellectual disabilities are seldomly heard in research about parenting. Based on the parents’ own voices, this thesis contributes to deepened knowledge about parenting among persons with intellectual disability. By listening to twenty-three parents, my purpose has been to illuminate how parents themselves understand their parenting. The study is mainly based on an interactionist perspective and focuses on how parenting is done. To deal with the stigmatizing perceptions and to ward off a perceived threat that the children may be taken from them, the parents use several strategies. These strategies function as a way of counteracting the questioning of their parenting, but above all the parents emphasize giving their children a good childhood. In general, the parents experience that their care practices work well when children’s needs are practical and arise in a routinized close to everyday reality. With higher demands on the ability to improvise and financial resources, care is perceived as a greater challenge. Experiences of being listened to and receiving support can counteract feelings of being made suspicious and can promote autonomy and security. But the support can also give rise to feelings of dependence. This is especially valid for women.

Social work, young migrants and the act of listening : Becoming an unaccompanied child
- 2021
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is about 20 young unaccompanied refugees who have sought refuge inEurope and how they experience and try to navigate their new situations, includingtheir contacts with social workers, friends and family members left behind.The book contains stories of powerlessness and frustration from being heldunder suspicion, from meeting authorities and abstract people of power from“the system,” or from constantly being categorized in a static category of “theunaccompanied child.” It contains stories of human meetings characterized bythoughtfulness, reciprocity and listening. This book also explores the experiencesof meeting social workers as a young migrant in Sweden. The narratives depicthow social workers can often reproduce powerlessness and frustration among theyoung people, but also how there are those social workers who provide somethingelse through the act of listening. By extension, this is a book about society,about how important it can be to reframe people and to listen to their stories,needs and wills.Demonstrating the importance of listening to the stories of young refuges, thistitle will appeal to students, researchers, community workers and social workersinterested in migration, race and ethnicity, youth studies, social work, sociology,anthropology, pedagogy and health.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we listen to young people having arrived in Sweden asunaccompanied minors, in relation to how they talk about andrelate to religion, belief and practice. There is still a lack ofresearch focusing on these young people’s own narratives andexperiences in their everyday life. This is particularly noteworthysince this category of young people, and especially those with a‘Muslim heritage’, have received increased attention both inresearch and in public discourse. For two years, we haveethnographically followed 20 young people with asylum status inSweden, who all arrived as unaccompanied minors and all camefrom areas of the world where Islam is the dominant religion. Theconclusions are that these young people both need to navigateand are affected by the current political and social contextquestioning Muslim people, and that this is the case regardless of their own personal relationship to Islam. Further, religious faithneeds to be related to its social and emotional embodiments,since it is here religious belief, shifts, changes and resistance, takeplace. Finally, we discuss how physical, temporal and socialdistance makes it possible to create other identities, and otherways of being religious or not.

Life Planning and Habitus : Opportunities and Constraints Among Unaccompanied Young Refugees in Sweden
- 2021

Ingår i: Young - Nordic Journal of Youth Research. - : Sage Publications. - 1103-3088 .- 1741-3222. ; 29:3, s. 272-287

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article examines how unaccompanied young refugees in Sweden relate to and talk about their everyday lives and life plans during a time of transition from childhood to adulthood. We regard them as navigators and emotional beings embodying social situations, relationships and sentiments in their habitus throughout their lives affecting their life plans and acting to build capital in social fields. Theirnarratives show that they all have a life plan. However, disruptions and adjustmentsof life plans occur, often related to their birth families, deeply embodied in theirhabitus, to their everyday life, but also to socio-economic and political contextsboth globally and locally. Their position as young ‘unaccompanied minors’ is fragile when it comes to realizing future goals. A stable social and economic structure, stability capital, appears to contribute to possibilities of adapting to or maintaining sustainable life plans.

Interaction rituals in an open drug scene

Ingår i: Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. - : Sage Publications. - 1455-0725 .- 1458-6126. ; 37:1, s. 86-98

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims: Open drug scenes can be found in most major cities in Europe. Despite often being closeddown by the police, the drug community continues to exist, and the drug scenes reappear elsewhere. There seem to be forces that hold these communities together, regardless of the substances used. In this study we explore whether interaction rituals have an impact on the decision bypeople to stay in the drug scene or to return after quitting their drug use. Method: In this ethnographic study, one of the researchers spent time in an open drug scene in a Norwegian city overa one-year span and gathered data on the human interactions hosted by this scene. In addition, theresearcher interviewed eight people from the scene to obtain greater insight into their lives andperceptions of the scene, drawing on Goffman’s and Collins’s theories about rituals. Findings:Three themes emerged. First, drug users bonded as a group and resisted what they called “normal people” passing by. Second, users demonstrated the importance of sharing drugs and services andadhering to the scene’s rules of conduct. The third and final theme is the focus of attention and theproduction of emotional energy. Conclusion: The experience of being outsiders and the need tohide some of their activities seemed to make it necessary for persons in the drug scene to havetheir own rules and rituals. These rules and rituals can be regarded as “interaction rituals”. They provide participants with the symbols of group membership, emotional energy, and group solidarity. This makes it hard to leave the scene and might explain why those who do often return.

An abstract and nameless, but powerful, bystander : ‘unaccompanied children’ talking about their social workers in Sweden
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Nordic Social Work Research. - : Routledge. - 2156-857X .- 2156-8588. ; 9:1, s. 18-28
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates how ‘unaccompanied children’ in Sweden experience one part of the reception system – the social workers – in the context of their everyday life. The aim is to describe and analyse how these young people view and experience social workers and their relation to them, as well as their perceptions regarding the social worker’s nature. The article is drawn from a research project where 20 ‘unaccompanied children’ participated for over two years. During this period, the researchers have met with the young people continuously doing interviews, observations and informal conversations once a month. The results indicate that the social worker tends to become something of a bystander, a representative of the authorities who has played no active role in the young people’s everyday life, except for when they ‘pop up’ to make a decision affecting their everyday life. The social worker becomes a bystander with power. This is discussed in relation to situational ethics and the importance of building relationships and trust to service users in general and to ‘unaccompanied children’ in particular.

Rörelser, gränser och liv : Att lyssna till de unga som kom
- 2019. - 1st
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Året var 2013 när Andy, som 13-åring, för första gången satte sina fötter på svensk mark. Platsen var den då ganska nybyggda Citytunneln, i Malmös underjord. Via rulltrappor rörde han sig upp mot stadens ytskikt, Malmö Centralstation och Malmö centrum. Unga migranter har de senaste åren stått i fokus för den mediala och politiska debatten i Sverige och Europa. Det gäller särskilt de unga som anländer utan vårdnadshavare, den grupp som kommit att kallas för ensamkommande. Rörelser, gränser och liv handlar om just dem, om 20 unga människor som vid ett stort antal intervjuer berättar om sina vardagsliv. Från resan genom gränsernas Europa till den situation de befinner sig i idag. I berättelserna inryms både känslor av maktlöshet och frustration, av att misstänkliggöras, och av att betraktas som ensamkommande och att fastna i kategorin. Men också, genom möten med andra, känslor av hopp i att uppfattas som fullvärdiga och komplexa människor, att kunna navigera mot framtiden. Rörelser, gränser och liv lämpar sig för kurser om migration, sociologi, socialpsykologi, socialt arbete, barn och ungdom, psykologi och utbildningsvetenskap. Boken manar till lyssnande, och är just därför mycket viktig. Läs! Lyssna! Igenkänn! Magnus Dahlstedt, professor i socialt arbete, Linköpings universitet
