Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- DN DEBATT 26/9. Vuxna bör följa uppmaningen från ungdomarna i Fridays for future-rörelsen och protestera eftersom det politiska ledarskapet är otillräckligt. Omfattande och långvariga påtryckningar från hela samhället behövs för att få de politiskt ansvariga att utöva det ledarskap som klimatkrisen kräver, skriver 171 forskare i samhällsvetenskap och humaniora.

Hem sjuka hem : En verklig konstruktion och dess sociala bestämningar
- 2007
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Each society, culture and era has its own illnesses. Characteristic of the late modern, western society of today are 'diffuse' or 'medically unexplained' syndromes. These phenomena have in common a vague criteria for diagnosis, a subjective and elusive character of the symptoms and a lack of medically accepted explanations for the symptoms described. One example of such a diffuse syndrome is the sick building syndrome (SBS). This thesis deals with SBS in two ways. The prevalence and distribution of housing-related SBS in Malmö, Swedens third largest city, is examined through a random sample survey. The analysis shows that there are major differences between social groups. High education, a non-Swedish background, unemployment and young age are all factors associated with a higher risk of reporting SBS. The study also shows that subjective aspects of the housing situation, in particular general housing satisfaction, have a significant influence on the tendency to report SBS. In conclusion the empirical analysis suggests that symptoms related to the physical indoor environment are concentrated to houses constructed between the years 1976-85. Taking its point of departure in critical realism, the thesis further discusses the metatheoretical question of the relationship between different types of explanations. SBS and other diffuse syndromes have so far mainly been studied as medical or 'micro-psychosocial' phenomena. It is suggested that models of explanation on these lower levels ought to be linked to theories on a macro-social level if the origin and character of these phenomena are to be fully understood. It is further argued that theoretical development on the macro-social level can help alleviate the stigma associated with psychosocially caused (psychosomatic) illness in general. The discussion ends with a model being presented that accommodates and integrates explanations on different levels and thereby illustrates the interplay between nature and culture. The model is applicable not only to SBS but to all illnesses that reside on the boundary between the 'physical' and the 'psychological', the 'real' and the 'constructed'.

How School Choice Leads to Segregation: An Analysis of Structural and Symbolic Boundaries at Play
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Secondary Education: Perspectives, Global Issues and Challenges. - 9781634850353
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter we analyze the pathways through which school choice leads to segregation in the multicultural setting of Malmö (Sweden), and in relation to an elite-oriented program: the natural science program. As a result of school choice reforms this program has grown rapidly in recent years, as has the number of students with an immigrant background attending it. In this chapter we examine whether the latter is to be interpreted as a sign of increased integration, or whether segregation persists within the program; that is, whether these high-performing students who have chosen the same elite program still end up in different schools, depending on their social and ethnic background. Thereafter we examine the extent to which the segregation (that is indeed found) can be explained by students’ “free” choices (self-selection), and the extent to which these choices are restricted by previous school performance. We use the concepts of structural and symbolic boundaries and examine the importance of each, using a combination of register and survey data. We find that roughly half of the segregation found can be attributed to structural boundaries (grades) and the other half to symbolic boundaries. Further examining the latter, we find that the most attractive schools (“high threshold schools”) sustain a symbolic boundary based on Swedishness/whiteness and intertwined with a performance culture, which makes these schools less accessible to students with a migrant background. We find however that these symbolic boundaries surrounding the less attractive (“low threshold”) schools seem more permeable: high-achieving students with a Swedish background quite often choose a low threshold school because it offers a specific program orientation. It thus seems that the symbolic boundaries based on ethnicity and school performance are not necessarily more persuasive than that they, at least in some instances, can be surpassed by subject interest. In the light of these results, the recent political decision to substantially restrict Swedish upper secondary schools’ opportunities to offer specific subject orientation within a program, seems unfortunate since this is likely to reinforce rather than counteract the boundaries between high- and low-threshold schools.

- Abstract: In Chapter 3, written together with MimmiBarmark, we try to estimate the extent to which students’choices are guided and restricted by structural and symbolicboundaries, in order to point out the possible reasons forschool segregation between the different Natural Scienceschools. The analysis is divided into seven steps and basedprimarily not only on survey data, but also on interviewswith students with high enough grades to be accepted towhat we call “high-threshold” schools. Our results show thatit is not primarily previous school achievement that guidesand restricts students’ school choices; students’ feelings ofbelonging are at least as important. Feelings of belongingare particularly important for native-born Swedish studentswho choose a high-threshold school, which leads us to theinterpretation that it is these members of this student groupwho are the significant agents of self-segregation.

Sjuka hus eller sjuka människor? Om boenderelaterad ohälsa bland malmöbor
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Många människor upplever att de mår dåligt av inomhusmiljön i sina bostäder och på sina arbetsplatser. Detta är bakgrunden till att Formas under en sexårsperiod avsatt sammanlagt 180 miljoner kronor till forskning inom detta område. Projektet som den här rapporten bygger på är ett av många som på detta sätt ingår i insatsområdet ”Det sunda huset” och här anläggs ett vidare perspektiv på denna typ av ohälsa. Avsikten är att finna faktorer andra än rent fysiska som kan bidra till att förklara skillnader i boenderelaterad ohälsa mellan olika befolkningsgrupper och människor i olika typer av boenden.

Social determinants of the sick building syndrome: exploring the interrelated effects of social position and psychosocial situation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper examines the importance of various social factors for the prevalence of "sick building syndrome" (SBS) in residential buildings. A survey has been conducted in Malmö, Sweden, resulting in 1131 randomly selected residents participating in the study (response rate 57 %). Two clusters of social factors were examined: the socio-structural position of the individual and psychosocial aspects of the housing situation. The results show that country of birth, in particular, and also education and employment status are important predictors of "domestic SBS". "Housing satisfaction" turns out to be an important psychosocial predictor of SBS, explaining, for example, why immigrants report more symptoms than natives.
