- “The bionic man goes autoerotic – theoretic keys towards a refined understanding of men’s risk taking in public space”Gender construction in relation to mobility and movement gives rise to intriguing questions regarding the interfaces between men, masculinity, technology, “danger” and risk-taking, especially when discussing issues of traffic safety. How can we conceptualize men’s risk taking practices within the traffic realm? By drawing on research from feminist science and technology studies, the authors suggest and develop the figuration the bionic man for how to understand cars and other mobile vehicles such as mopeds as extensions of the (male) body. The construction of masculinity is seen to be interlinked with the use and mastering of motor vehicles. This theoretical frame work is further analysed by introducing the concept of autoeroticism as a meaningful way for understanding the profound embodied and emotional relation between men, technologies of movement and risk taking. The authors argue that the emotional aspects of driving cars and riding mopeds need to be regarded as both vital and crucial aspects when studying men’s risk taking in traffic space.

Kör så det ryker! Teoretiska reflektioner om samspelen mellan män, maskulinitet, rumslighet och våldsam mobilitet

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att förstå hur genus görs i relation till mobilitet ställer spännande frågor om gränssnitten mellan män, maskuliniteter, ålder, teknik, -farlighet- och risktagande, inte minst i förhållande till trafiksäkerhet, våld och kroppslig integritet. Feministisk teknologiforskning (FTS) och transportforskning med genusperspektiv uppmärksammar hur bilar eller mopeder kan förstås som en förlängning av (mans)kroppen där kopplingen till görande av maskulinitet är sammanvävt med användandet och bemästrandet av motorfordon. Mot bakgrund av nollvisionen är det dock uppseendeväckande hur lite trafiksäkerhetsarbetet uppmärksammat överrepresentationen av män som -vållande- av dödsolyckor (90 %) eller uppmärksammat (auto)mobilitet som ett sätt att göra kön. Texten tar upp mäns kroppslighet i trafiken med utgångspunkt i feministiska teorier om våld och teknologi, och knyts samman med en diskussion kring (auto)mobilitet. Bidraget öppnar upp för en kritisk diskussion kring bilismens normativa ställning, inte minst hur bilnormativiteten formar och skapar subjektiva upplevelser och identitet, samt hur praktiker knutna till dessa möjliggör och producerar våldsam mobilitet.

Ingår i: Masculinities in the criminological field. - Farnham : Ashgate. - 9781472410139 ; , s. 187-202

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over recent decades criminological research has changed from a gender-blind discipline which equated crime with men and thus ignored questions about gender, to an approach that studied gender by showing statistical differences between men and women, and then finally to a more inclusive and elaborate gender-theoretical approach to crime and crime control. However, despite this development, research on gender - and in particular research on gendered norms and the construction and enactment of masculinities - within the criminological field has been unable to keep up with developments in gender research. Since 1990, only a few anthologies with a gender-theoretical orientation focusing on masculinities within the criminological research field have been published. Many of the theoretical developments in gender research still have difficulties in reaching into mainstream criminology, partly because such developments are often published in feminist and/or gender theoretical journals. This volume both problematizes and renders visible conceptions and norms regarding male behaviour and masculinities and shows how these affect the criminological field through providing a theoretically sound and clear gender perspective to this field of research. With sections based around the following three themes: negotiations of masculinity in institutional settings, vulnerable masculinities and risk-taking and masculinities, this volume will be of interest to scholars of criminology, sociology, social work and gender studies, as well as policy-makers, and law enforcement professionals.

Advancing feminist relationality in childhood studies
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Relationality has become central to Childhood Studies and even described as its ontological ground. Feminist theories offer articulate theorizing on relationalities, yet feminist ideas of relationality have not had a significant impact on Childhood Studies. Through focusing on feminist notions of corporeal specificity, sexual-temporal difference and asymmetry, and transcorporeality, this paper argues that feminist theorizations open up a space to engage with childhood and children’s lives as not only relational or entangled, but as inevitably imbricated in relations of power.

Heroes and others : tensions and challenges in implementing Mentors in Violence Prevention in Swedish schools

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the challenges that were detected in the first evaluation of the violence prevention programme Mentors in Violence Prevention at senior levels of compulsory schools and upper-secondary schools in Sweden. In particular, we analyse how the gender-transformative dimension and the bystander perspective aspect of the programme played out in the classroom. What are the implications of implementing a gender-transformative violence prevention programme such as Mentors in Violence Prevention when it is carried out by teachers in the school setting? The empirical basis for this study includes classroom observations during all seven Mentors in Violence Prevention sessions in two schools, and group interviews with a total of 14 teachers and 26 pupils (aged 13‐19) from five schools. Our findings suggest that most teachers did not appear to be comfortable with either the Mentors in Violence Prevention programme’s pedagogical model or its theoretical approach. Consequently, they occasionally worked in manners contrary to the programme’s intentions. However, observations and interviews demonstrated that a learning process about gender-based violence had been initiated. It may be necessary to make further adjustments if Mentors in Violence Prevention is to be used in schools in Sweden, particularly if teachers are to be the programme leaders.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing from an ethnographic evaluation of the American violence prevention program Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), the present paper aims to explore 1) The participating girls’ views of classroom culture and sense of safety, and; 2) Strategies for and obstacles to creating a transformative space for conversations about sexualized violence in three schools with young people aged 12–18 in Sweden. The material analysed in this paper consists of transcripts from video observations and field notes from all sessions in three classes and from group and individual interviews with participants. The paper contributes to critical research on violence in a broad sense, including its prevention, and on anti-oppressive education. In conclusion, we stress the importance of competence, commitment and preparing for precarity, when involving young people. Addressing boys and men as allies in violence prevention must be balanced with a critical feminist understanding of the realities of violence, including sensitivity both to the needs of the group and of individual possibly victimized participants.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this editorial to the Viewpoints Special Issue in Children's Geographies on ‘Children Living in pandemic Times: a geographical, transnational and situated view’ is, on the one hand, to present a transnational general picture of the COVID-19 situation for children. And on the other, to make a call for childhood researchers particularly focused on children's geographies, to collaboratively approach this unprecedented situation. The main aspects of children living in pandemic times as they are identified by the different viewpoints in this special issue are presented, highlighting key commonalities and differences across countries, discussing the aspects that emerge from this phenomenon that seem most relevant for research on children’s geographies in these times. Finally, we refer to some of the studies being conducted in different parts of the world, methodological challenges for children’s geographies research under these circumstances, and emerging research questions.

Playing, living, moving – and fearing? Families’ management of risk and safety through play (and) mobility : [Spielen, leben, bewegen – und fürchten? Familienmanagement von Risiko und Sicherheit durch Spiel (und) Mobilität]

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses on the everyday mobilities of families living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood in Sweden. Through the use of interview material from two ongoing qualitative research projects on families’ apartment living, and on everyday mobility in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, we analyse how families account for the organization of collective family mobilities in order to enable and support children’s play and movement. Departing from a relational understanding of mobility, the article contributes to research on children’s everyday mobilities by focusing on how these are enmeshed with collective family mobilities as well as entangled with the neighbourhood context. The findings show how family play outings to parks, playgrounds and commercial play centres are a way for families to handle risk as well as to do and display ‘togetherness’, through the creation of ‘safe family spaces’ on the move for children’s play and movement.
