Barnfattigdom : Barnfamiljers och professionellas perspektiv
- 2020. - 2
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Nästan vart tionde barn i Sverige bor i en familj med så låga inkomster att det inte täcker boendet och de nödvändigaste levnadsomkostnaderna. Det innebär både materiell fattigdom och risk för socialt utanförskap. Hur påverkas barnen och hur agerar välfärdsstatens aktörer när barnfattigdom hamnar på deras bord?Att tillämpa ett barnperspektiv och ta hänsyn till barns bästa när olika regelverk krockar är ett återkommande dilemma för myndigheterna i arbetet med barnfamiljer som har ont om pengar. Den här boken ger exempel på det svåra i att uppfylla lagens krav, men också på hur barns rättigheter kan stärkas när familjer behöver ekonomiskt stöd. Författarna belyser barnfamiljers möten med skolan, Försäkringskassan, socialtjänsten, förvaltningsrätten och Kronofogdemyndigheten. Varje kapitel i boken avslutas med diskussionsfrågor för att uppmuntra till reflektion över hur myndigheters beslut påverkar barn som lever i fattigdom. Barnkonventionen är nu svensk lag. Får barns bästa mer tyngd i ärenden om ekonomiskt bistånd? Lyssnar socialtjänsten mer på barnen i sina utredningar och beslut?Denna andra upplaga av boken är helt omarbetad och uppdaterad med ny forskning. Nya författare bidrar med nya ämnesområden och infallsvinklar.Boken vänder sig till universitets- och högskolestudenter, liksom till alla som i sin yrkesroll möter barnfamiljer som lever i ekonomisk utsatthet. Den är också en kunskapskälla till var och en som är politiskt eller ideellt engagerad i samhällsfrågor. Författarna har lång erfarenhet av utbildning och forskning inom sociologi och socialt arbete. En stor del av boken bygger på deras forskningsprojekt.

""He won’t pay": The entanglement of financial abuse and negligence in Swedish child maintenance processes
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Violence Against Women.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since 2016, separated parents in Sweden are expected to pay child maintenance directly to each other unless special reasons, such as intimate partner violence (IPV), can be invoked. Problems with maintenance payments, which may involve expressions of financial abuse, have become a common topic in interactions between parents and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (SSIA) that handles these cases.This article examines 132 phone calls to the SSIA and the results show that payment problems are typically framed as relating to inability or negligence, and not as possible indications of abuse. This highlights the need for training and capacity building regarding IPV in the Swedish welfare state.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Given the emphasis on communication in social work, the empirical study of social work interactions is an important area for research. By examining recordings of naturally occurring social interaction and analysing participants’ practices in close detail, conversation analysis (CA) provides rigorous resources for understanding the practical challenges and opportunities of professional intervention. Since the origins of CA in the 1970s, this approach has been used for investigating interactions in a wide range of institutional domains. Based on articles published in peer-reviewed journals in English, this scoping review maps the development of CA in social work research. The review gives an overview of the institutional contexts, professional groups and client groups that have been investigated using CA methods, as well as how their interactional practices have been examined. We show contributions of CA to understanding social work in terms of specific interactional practices, how practitioners accomplish challenging institutional activities in interactions and how theories and ideals about interactions relate to social work practice. The review highlights research gaps concerning clients’ resources for pursuing agendas, embodied conduct in social work, contributions to the cumulative body of CA research and implications for practice. We discuss these findings in relation to CA as a relatively new approach in social work research and the challenges which CA may need to address to become a more integrated part of social work research and practice.

Gender and policy-in-action in social insurance encounters
- 2022
-
Ingår i: 4th Street-Level Bureaucracy Conference, Copenhagen, June 14-16, 2022..
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While the ethnographic turn in street-level bureaucratic research has brought attention to the connection between macrolevel phenomena and experiences on the microlevel, little attention has been given to the details of what actually happens in interactions between clients and professionals (Bartels 2013; Caswell 2020). This paper uses conversation analysis (CA) to examine 1150 recorded phone calls from parents to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s (SSIA) national front office. This approach enables a fine-grained account of how welfare service encounters systematically unfold in real-time (Bruhn & Ekström 2017) and an analysis of practical language use that is crucial for understanding the work of street-level bureaucrats, as “communicative skills are at the heart of policy implementation” (Caswell 2020:35). The paper investigates how social insurance case officers balance contradictory values inherent to policy in areas of parental leave and child maintenance, specifically in relation to gender inclusivity and gender equality, where they are expected to encourage more gender equal parenting and at the same time treat mothers and fathers equally and neutrally. The analysis focuses on case officers’ explanations of social insurance regulations to clients, showing how such explanations involve orientations to ideals of gender neutrality, for instance when case officers use the non-gendered language of formal regulations rather than adapting their terminology to the client’s (which tends to be gendered to a larger extent). Meanwhile, the case officers work to design their talk in ways that display sensitivity and responsiveness to who the client is, treating categories such as gender and sexuality as relevant in the encounter. In sum, the paper emphasizes the argument that “social equity is realized when put to practice, not when discussed in principle” (Maynard-Moody & Musheno 2012:21), and provides insight into how communicative action in micro-level interactions on the street-level reflect and contribute to macro-level structures.
