Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In an era characterized by a move towards a “knowledge society”, universities are central in fostering “knowledgeability”, that is the reflexive understanding of knowledge in knowledge societies. The objective of “knowledgeability” can be met through creating a stronger link between education and research. Furthermore, overall student performance, for example in critical thinking and problem solving, can be improved if research-related activities are incorporated into the curriculum.The aim of this paper is to use international examples to discuss the research- education nexus from four different perspectives, namely context, policy, implementation and quality, with case studies from higher education institutions in Singapore and Sweden.We suggest that different integrative technologies can be used to enhance the links, but it will be essential to consider the inputs of training, service and support in using new technology. Interestingly, the act of evaluating the link between education and research will increase awareness of this linkage by stakeholders involved in both education and research. In turn the link can be strengthened, contributing to increased quality in both education and research.

Den stora häxdansen : Vidskepelse, väckelse och vetande i Gagnef 1858
- 2003

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dissertation deals with an unexpected outburst of witchcraft accusations in Gagnef, Dalarna, in 1858. The object is to uncover how witchcraft accusations were used and interpreted, and how they fit into a larger picture of contemporary discourse. Contrary to what has previously been assumed, belief in witchcraft was widely spread during the 19th century. Not only among the peasant population, but also among the educated elite assucations of witchcraft were taken seriously.The children’s ungodly stories about the Devil created strong anxiety among the local authorities. The fantasies were incompatible with the notion of childhood innocence, which took form during the 18th century. Unable to blame the children for the fantasies the local clergymen claimed that the accusations of witchcraft were caused by bad upbringing, and poor knowledge in Christianity. They thereby managed to put the blame on the parents instead and thus defend the idea of childhood innocence.Traditionally accusations of witchcraft have been seen as a way to articulate conflicts. Also in Gagnef the accusations of witchcraft created strong tensions. But in addition to this the dismissive attitude from the surrounding world and the spiritual revival united the parishioners. The dissertation also shows that the children’s stories about the witches’ sabbath were incorporated in the early temperance movement, and became part of a popular reform.
