Readiness or resistance? : Newly arrived adult migrants' experiences, meaning making, and learning in Sweden
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is about newly arrived adult migrants’ meaning making and learning in Swedish society during the two years’ introduction period, after they have received the residence permit. I have specifically studied Arabic speaking adults’ meaning making and learning, by carrying out observations and individual in-depth interviews with 12 migrants. The introduction period consists mainly of three so called introduction measures; the civic orientation course, Swedish for immigrants (SFI), and different work related activities, such as internship at different work places.The results show that etablering is about shaping the newly arrived adult migrants into ”good” citizens, through the introduction measures, among other things in the civic orientation course, which is regulated through the policy documents, and which so to say provides meaning to the newly arrived. The “good” citizen has some specific characteristics, which, roughly, are that he or she is independent (and advocates individuality), free, equality thinking, secularized, law-abiding (which includes being honest), responsible, and a “good” parent. These characteristics are expressed in different ways in the civic orientation course, for instance through the course material. The Swedish society is described as something desirable, and different from what is implied to be ”Arabic” values and ways of thinking. The idea of the “good” citizen appears to aim at constructing the adult migrants’ (and their families’) identity, something which many of the study’s respondents make a resistance to.As concerns the migrant’s new experiences, it is, for example, those which the migrant get through the contact with the Swedish Public Employment Service (SPES) that affect the meaning making in the new society. The meaning which most of the respondents have made of the SPES’s measures for them is that this authority only offers “prepackaged” solutions, and does not provide the help or support that they need. Also the experiences which the migrant has in the civic orientation course, and the meaning which ”old” migrants give to him or her, play a role when he or she makes meaning of Sweden and Swedes, and of his or her new life situation. Further, it has been shown that it is those experiences that the adult individual has been socialized through, and those which he or she has gained through work or education in his or her country of origin, which affect his or her meaning making in Sweden. It is mostly values which concern child upbringing and religion that lead to a certain understanding and construction of one’s new life. These values, when related to the values which are included in the ”good” citizen idea, also lead to either a resistance or a readiness towards the meaning giving that is embedded in the ”good” citizen notion.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the European society of today temporary residence permits (TRP) are largely directed at labor market issues, not protection issues. This responsibility-based model implies that the importance of getting a job is the norm regarding what life choices an immigrant "should” do to renew their TRP:s.In the light of the UN's sustainability goals of reduced inequality, discourses about integration needs to be discussed and problematized to clarify what their implications are for individuals as for society. The aim of the following study is to describe and analyse the field of tension created between the regulatory requirements and the individual's considered life choices as they are articulated by persons living with TRP:s.The study is based on interviews about life choices with six persons with TRP. The material is analysed with discourse analysis based on the concepts of temporality, liminality and agency and the analyse resulted in three discourses about, legal security (1), ontological security (2) and interrelational freedom (3). The three discourses can be seen as the field within which the individual make a specific choice.The results show that life with TRP affects choices about family, education and work, but also the approach towards life in general. In all their choices, the informants must prioritize between increasing the chances of obtaining a renewed residence permit or moving towards long time goals. Choices are made with the cost of giving up educational goals or ontological safety, but at times the informants put their own agency in the front seat even though they risk to be sent back to the danger they once fled. The oppressive, colonizing, feature of the responsibility-based discourse risks putting people in a liminal situation that backfires on society in terms of sustainability, and equality.

Ricoeurs kritiska hermeneutik vid empiriska studier
- 2011

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I artikeln lyfts frågan om tolkningens roll i pedagogisk och didaktisk forskning och specifikt prövas Paul Ricoeurs kritiska hermeneutik i vid empiriska studier. Ricoeurfilosofiska projekt handlar framför allt en kommunikation, där han bygger broar mellan det som kan förefalla vara motsägelsefulla ståndpunkter. I artikeln belyses några möjligheter som kan erbjudas forskare med empiriska data inom ramen för denna inriktning. Mer specifikt prövas här först möjligheten att använda begreppet tid så som Ricoeur framställer det, därefter tolkning där spän-ningsfält mellan att förklara och att förstå står i centrum samt, slutligen några frågeställningar runt transkription av inspelade dialoger. Artikelförfattarna kommer till slutsatsen att kritisk hermeneutik kan lämpa sig väl för praxisnära pedagogisk och didaktisk forskning och att det kritiska hermeneutiska förhållningssättet i många fall kan utgöra en god grund för förståelse och förklaring av fenomen i skolans komplexa och motsägelsefulla värld. Författarna menar också att kritisk hermeneutik öppnar för en reflektiv hållning i relation till empiriska data. Slutligen hävdas att tolkningsprocessen kan och bör uttryckas explicit vid empiriska studier.

Have Computer - Will Travel : A Discourse Analysis of a 1:1 Initiative in Upper Secondary School.
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of the presented study is to investigate how teachers and students renegotiate their positions within a pedagogical discourse where problems and possibilities are manifested through the new artifact, the personal computer. The sample consists of teachers and students at an upper secondary school in Sweden where all students have been provided with a personal laptop by their school. Information has been collected by the use of semi-structured interviews. The analysis mainly draws on Laclau & Mouffe’s theories of how subjects create discourses through articulations and then investigate qualitative differences between interviewees. The results indicate that teachers actively include some specific meanings of the computer while others are excluded. A recurring feature of this was the conflict of old and new practices with the introduction such as the perceived conflict between computers and textbooks. This relation remained controversial among teachers. The students had to negotiate the teachers’ definition of the computer because of the power relations, even though they could account for a far wider and more reflexive stance towards the potential of the computer.

Jämställdhet, islam och framtidsdrömmar : en intervjustudie om muslimska gymnasieflickor
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ofta hörs kritiska röster kring islam som en kvinnoförtryckande religion, ibland till och med som en religion som vill föra oss tillbaka till ett förgånget samhälle. Samtidigt finns muslimska kvinnor som menar att det är just deras tro som stärkt dem som kvinnor och som människor. Underlaget till denna rapport är unga muslimska flickors berättelser om sina liv i Sverige. Skola, fritid och framtid står i fokus i våra samtal, men i vårt möte med flickorna återges olika livssituationer, drömmar och tankar. I första kapitlet presenterar vi vår studie och vårt tillvägagångssätt. Vi har gjort kvalitativa intervjuer och använder oss av ett intersektionellt perspektiv på religion och kön. I kapitel två visar vi en komplex bild av olika värderingar, hållningar och förklaringsmönster. I detta kapitel har vi låtit flickorna själva träda fram i texten genom ganska långa citat och ge sin syn på livet som muslimsk flicka. På så sätt träder nyanser fram i materialet och bäddar för en djupare förståelse för olika sätt att leva som muslim i Sverige. I del tre diskuterar vi hur flickorna förhåller sig till religion i ett vidare perspektiv. I vår studie blir tre olika muslimska diskurser - en global, en kulturell och en sekulär – synliga.
