Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- n this introductory chapter, we outline the literature in which the anthology is positioned and the anthology’s contribution hereto. We account for the questions addressed in the anthology and its structure based on three sections that each analyses transformations of European welfare states and social rights from macro, meso and micro level perspectives, respectively. As described in the chapter and illustrated throughout the anthology, the three levels are interlinked: Macro level welfare state transformations influence the meso level of public encounters between welfare professionals and citizens, and on micro level, these encounters have real effect for, for example, citizens’ access to social rights. Linking the levels, the anthology contributes with analytical insights into welfare state transformations and social rights.

Youth Homelessness in the Danish Welfare State: How Do Young Persons in Homelessness Mobilise Rights?
- 2024

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter offers a bottom-up perspective on welfare rights in practice, analysing legal mobilisation by young persons in homelessness in the Danish welfare state. Youth homelessness is selected as case motivated by the fact that the number of persons aged 18 to 29 living in homelessness almost doubled from 2009 to 2019. Drawing on the young persons’ narratives, the chapter stresses that their rights consciousness, social network and sense of welfare bureaucracy are decisive for their ability to mobilise welfare rights. Without these factors, the young persons may find themselves lost in a complex welfare state system, leaving them in increasingly marginalised situations. Based on the chapter’s analyses, a distinction is made between active and passive agency to illustrate the dynamic character of legal mobilisation processes.

Asylum Case Adjudication in Sweden, Country of Origin Information and Epistemic Violence
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Transformations of European Welfare States and Social Rights. - : Palgrave Macmillan. - 9783031466366 - 9783031466373 ; , s. 125-144

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter on country of origin information (COI) draws on the semi-structured interviews I have been conducting between the years 2014 and 2022 with the responsible decision-makers of the Swedish welfare state: migration court judges. By applying Spivak’s concept of ‘epistemic violence’ in my qualitative content analysis of ten of these interviews, I problematise the COI that judges apply when they adjudicate. The epistemic violence embedded in asylum determination procedures in general is influenced by the institutionalised power imbalance that characterises the Swedish asylum system. The analysis of the corresponding power relations—between people seeking asylum from refugee-sending countries and decision-makers of a wealthy welfare state—leads the critical observer to detect parallels with the colonial bureaucratic violence of earlier historical periods.

Digitalizing Welfare: The role of encounters in supporting marginalised citizens’ access to rights in the Danish welfare state
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Recht der Werkelijkheid. - 1380-6424. ; 2022:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Digitalisation of the public sector is advocated for as an efficient and responsive approach to the delivery of public services. In this article, we analyse the role of digitalisation from a bottom-up perspective as we zoom in on socially marginalised citizens’ access to welfare rights in the context of the digitalised Danish welfare state. In the Danish welfare state, the authority and responsibility to distribute welfare support rest mainly with the municipalities which thus play a significant role in the public sector infrastructure when it comes to ensuring efficient responses to citizens’ social problems. Yet, research suggests that citizens who lack legal and digital capabilities related to accessing welfare support in a digitalised welfare state may face challenges in this process. Drawing on observations of encounters between socially marginalised citizens and social workers who as intermediaries assist the citizens in the process of gaining access to welfare rights, and on semi-structured interviews with both parties, the article suggests that encounters between socially marginalised citizens and intermediaries can be decisive for citizens’ ability to access rights in the digitalised space of the welfare state.

Opfattelser og tings betydning for velfærdsprofessionelle på et dansk ungdomsherberg: En kombineret retlig bevidstheds- og ’Science and Technology Studies’-tilgang

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I Danmark reguleres det sociale område i høj grad af rammelovgivning, som uddelegerer myndighed, regulerer gennem formålsbeskrivelser og gør det muligt for såkaldte velfærdsprofessionelle at udøve skøn. Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan samspillet mellem velfærdsprofessionelles opfattelser og de ting, der på forskellig vis regulerer deres praksis, får betydning for konstruktionen af legalitet i deres specifikke sociale kontekst. Artiklen inddrager ungdomshjemløshed som case, og teoretisk anvendes og kombineres begreber fra retlig bevidstheds- og Science and Technology Studies-litteraturen. Empirisk fokuserer artiklen på velfærdsprofessionelle, der arbejder på et ungdomsherberg, som tilbyder midlertidigt ophold til unge i hjemløshed. Artiklens empiriske resultater illustrerer, at skriftligt materiale såsom herbergets interne retningslinjer, samtykkeerklæringer samt skemaer, der skitserer procedurer, har afgørende betydning for hverdagens sociale orden på herberget, da materialet former opfattelser af socialt accepterede praksisser.

Retlig bevidsthed: Oplevelser og erfaringer af ret på tværs af tid og sted
- 2023

Ingår i: Retfærd: Nordisk juridisk tidsskrift. - 0105-1121. ; 176:2, s. 69-81

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Studier i retlig bevidsthed analyserer personers oplevelser, forståelser og handlinger relateret til deres retlige kontekst og viser, hvor mangfoldig og foranderlig retlig bevidsthed kan være som følge af retlig bevidstheds subjektive karakter. Tidligere litteraturstudier understreger retlig bevidstheds iboende forskellighed og fokuserer særligt på metodologiske fællestræk eller fællestræk indenfor landegrænser. Denne artikel bidrager til forskningsfeltet ved at illustrere de fællestræk, der gør sig gældende i retlig bevidsthed på tværs af tid og sted. I artiklen gennemgås retssociologiske studier, der anvender retlig bevidsthed som analytisk begreb, og artiklens fokus er afgrænset til studier i retlig bevidsthed, der analyserer socialt marginaliserede personers opfattelser af rettens betydning i deres interaktion med velfærdsstaten. Eksisterende forskning viser, at denne gruppe af borgere typisk oplever retten som allestedsnærværende, hvilket understreger væsentligheden af at fokusere på netop deres retlig bevidsthed, og hvordan deres opfattelser og forståelser får betydning for deres handlinger i en velfærdsstatslig kontekst.
