Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The great majority of Chinese women have all through their lives worked and contributed to the family economy. Before the Communist revolution the Confucian ideal stated that women should be secluded in the realm of the family, though this was only possible for women in well-off families. Women that participated in paid labour outside their home often met with prejudice, something that changed in the 1950’s when it became everybody’s right and duty to participate in paid employment (see for instance Rofel, 1999). Women then found pride and a new identity in being workers, very much in tune with the demand of the CCP.As a consequence of the competitive labour market brought on by the economic reforms many female workers have been laid-off, dismissed and/or have problems finding employment. Many in the generations that was brought up to first and foremost be good workers found this new situation more than challenging. The younger generations of women that have recently entered the labour market seem to have yet another view on employment, not seeing work and being workers as their sole identity, but as the means to support themselves economically and have a fulfilling life elsewhere. With this paper I want to give examples of changes women have met at the labour market and how views on the meaning of paid employment have been transformed since early 1900, mainly by introducing to you some of my informants, born 1945-1985, but also by giving examples from secondary sources concerning women born in earlier years.

Pride and Prejudice. Migrant Women Workers in the Domestic and Service Sector
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- According to many citizens with urban 'hukou' the migrant workers that come to town in order to make a living are lacking 'suzhi' and are thus looked down upon. Many of the migrant women workers that go to Beijing and other cities end up working as nannies and take care of urban citizen's children. Others are hired to nurse city dweller's hospitalized relatives. Both kinds of positions, you would believe, require someone with exactly the 'suzhi' these women generally are blamed for not having. These workers are trusted with a huge responsibility but are nevertheless met with prejudice.The migrant women workers concerned take great pride in their job and show profound responsibility - towards the child or patient they care for, the family that has employed them as well as towards their own family, for whose livelihood they actually left home.Based on meetings and interviews with migrant women workers I met at the NGO 'Dagongmei zhi jia' in Beijing as well as secondary sources on the topic, my paper is an attempt to explain the working situation and social status of the migrant women workers in the domestic and service sectors, and how at least some of them, despite the prejudice they are surrounded with, manage to raise and keep their self-confidence and self-esteem.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I denna artikel granskas hur textkurserna i ämnet kinesiska examineras vid Uppsala universitet, om det som examineras motsvarar kursmålen (validitet) och om utformningen av examinationen gör att en korrekt bild av studentens kunskap ges (reliabilitet). I artikeln undersöks också om ämnet tillämpar konstruktiv länkning för att nå validitet på kurserna, dvs. en betoning av processen där konstruktiv står för att studenten skapar en mening genom relevanta lärandeaktiviteter och länkning att läraren skapar en lärandemiljö med bl.a. lärandeaktiviteter som är anpassade för och stöder studenternas lärande för att nå målen. Dessutom granskas hur samtliga kursmål för tre av textkurserna som ges på Kinesiska A och B bedöms, både formativt och summativt.Slutsatsen är att kursmålen på de tre undersökta textkurserna examineras med validitet eftersom bedömningen innehåller moment som motsvarar kursmålen (t.ex. syntax och teckenkunskap). Konstruktiv länkning används i undervisning och examination; ett exempel på det är att den formativa bedömningen görs på innehållet i kursmålen och på så sätt förbereder studenterna inför den summativa examinationen. Det är däremot mer tveksamt om reliabiliteten är god, då svaren poängsatts och betyg givits efter antal poäng och en procentsats på hela tentamen, vilket inte visat att studenten nått varje kursmål. I och med att bedömningen på sluttentamen har ändrats på två av textkurserna så att fyra av fem delar numera måste klaras med G för att slutbetyget ska bli G har den summativa bedömningen dock kommit närmare hög reliabilitet.
