Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the past few centuries, an accelerating process of legalization and classification have moulded the diverse range of earlier institutions into a limited number of isomorphic organizational forms. Today, institutions of higher education, with their roots in the corporate forms of medieval universities, can also have the legal status of, for example, government agencies, associations under public law, foundations, and joint stock companies. This article investigates the types of legal entities Swedish and Finnish institutions of higher education have been organized into in the period from the 1990s until 2020, and why these particular types have been chosen. It also explores how the special characteristics, aims, and demands of the university have caused adaptations to organizational forms such as joint stock companies and foundations. Comparative studies benefit from investigating societies that are as similar to each other as possible, making it easier to identify and isolate the effects of the factors that actually differ. In this respect, Finland and Sweden are ideal for comparative studies. Both Swedish and Finnish institutions of higher education have experienced coercive, mimetic, normative, and managerial-professional isomorphic pressure. However, there are important pre-existing national differences, such as the greater reliance on public agencies in Sweden and the multiplicity of semi-private legal entities in Finland, most significantly the associations under public law. These differences made the transition of universities into independent legal entities seem natural in Finland in 2009, while it was too radical in the Swedish context.

Utbildningens fostrande funktioner : Historiska undersökningar av fostran i offentliga och enskilda utbildningsinsatser
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Fostran som ett sätt att överföra kunskap och erfarenheter över generationer är något som kan sägas ha varit ständigt närvarande i mänsklighetens historia och även varit en viktig del av dess utveckling. Under de senaste århundradena har fostran i allt högre grad kommit att förknippas med utbildning även om fostran också förekommer i andra sammanhang.I denna bok behandlas utbildningens fostrande funktioner genom en rad olika historiska undersökningar av såväl offentliga som enskilda utbildningsinsatser med fokus på hur de fungerat fostrande. Detta sker inom ramen för tolv empiriska kapitel som sträcker sig från 1600-talets fostran för svenska adelspojkar till hur användningen av diagram över politiska positioner i läromedel förändrats fram till och med 2010-talet. Vidare innehåller boken en rad undersökningar vilka omfattar synen på fostran vid läroverken och dess föregångare samt studier av lärare, kristendomsundervisning, skolaga, fångvård, verksamhet för arbetarkvinnor, scouter, skolans ordningsregler och medborgarfostran vid tiden för 1980 års läroplansreform. Därutöver inleds den med en introduktion till historiska studier av fostran och avslutas med ett mer teoretiskt kapitel som sätter in de empiriska kapitlen i ett vidare sammanhang.Dessutom ger boken också en översikt över den forskning som för tillfället bedrivs inom ramen för forskningsgruppen Uppsala Studies of History and Education (SHED) vid Uppsala universitet. Därigenom är den tänkt att vara av intresse för både utbildningshistoriska forskare och personer med ett mer allmänt intresse av historia och utbildning.

Hjärnövermättning och hjärtehunger : bildningsideal och pedagogiska visioner i Emilia Fogelklous författarskap 1902–1931
- 2023

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Emilia Fogelklou (1878–1972) was an author and pedagogue in twentieth century Sweden. She was a teacher mainly in the field of religious education and was involved in progressive schools such as Gothenburg co-educational school (Göteborgs högre samskola), Birkagården folk high school (Birkagårdens folkhögskola) and the Female civic school (Kvinnliga medborgarskolan). In 1902, Fogelklou experienced a spiritual awakening (Verklighetsupplevelsen) which led to her conviction that it was possible to find a pedagogy that could help the individual to get in contact with an inner divinity.The aim of this thesis is to deepen the understanding of Fogelklou’s pedagogical ideas between 1902–1931 by examining her collected writings in relation to contemporary ideas. In three chapters, her pedagogical presuppositions, main pedagogical principles, and ideas about religious education in practice are analysed. The two research questions are: How does Fogelklou’s view of education relate to previously formulated Bildung-ideals? How can her pedagogical ideas be characterised? Theoretically, the study employs two perspectives. Firstly, the study draws on Bildung-ideals (neohumanistic Bildung, self-Bildung and civic-Bildung) from the first half of the twentieth century in Sweden, and relates these to Fogelklou’s ideas. The results are related to the Bildung-ideals (neohumanistic Bildung, self-Bildung and civic-Bildung) that previous research has identified in Sweden during the first half of the 1900s. Secondly, the study applies concepts from theories of utopianism and edutopianism.Methodologically, the study makes use of contextualisation and comparison. Three contextual levels are considered: the individual, the textual, and the broader culture context. The analysis explores the contexts in which Fogelklou was engaged and presents new perspectives on her outlook, particularly with regard to her visionary pedagogical concepts.This thesis finds that Fogelklou’s thinking was characterised by a religiously marked edutopia. In the thesis, this distinctive pedagogical feature is labelled a “spiritual Bildung-ideal”. This ideal differs from the Bildung-ideals that have been identified in previous research, both in terms of the ideological basis as well as in ideas about teaching methods and materials.
