Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The objective of this research review is to synthesize research published between 2000 and 2015 regarding child sexual abuse, preschool and preschool teachers. The review identifies themes relevant for the preschool teacher profession: child sexual abuse at preschools, suspicions and consequences for the preschool sector, preventing techniques and the preschool teacher as a safeguarder. Furthermore, important types of tensions in efforts to safeguard against child sexual abuse are identified: the importance of listening to children and avoiding false allegations, the preschool teacher as a safeguarder and a potential abuser, and the importance of preventing child sexual abuse and providing qualitative care of children. Implications for the profession, the education of preschool teachers and the need for more research are addressed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I artikeln analyseras svenska bilderböcker som gör anspråk på att förebygga sexuella övergrepp. Syftet med studien är att analysera böckernas barnsyn och syn på barns aktörskap. Analysen visar att böckerna beskriver övergrepp i vaga uttryck. Ett huvudbudskap är att principen om samtycke ska gälla för barn, men utan att kopplas till sex. Samtycke uppnås genom att känna efter och agera utifrån egna och andras kroppsliga integritetsgränser. Barn positioneras som utsatta gentemot vuxna, samtidigt som de ska förstå att de kan agera nästan jämlikt. Vissa budskap riktar sig direkt till eller om vuxna; att de måste lyssna på barn. Analysen visar att böckerna har ett fokus som inte framkommit i studier av internationell utgivning. De svenska exemplen kan ses som en bred socialisation för att förebygga sexuella övergrepp mot barn, men också mot vuxna.

Child sexuality and interdependent agency in sexuality education texts for Swedish preschool practitioners 1969−2021 : three discourses on children’s sexual play

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper provides a discourse analysis of 12 Swedish sexuality education texts intended for preschool practitioners and published between 1969 and 2021. Using Fairclough’s framework, we identify three discourses about children’s sexual play in relation to children’s sexual agency in the texts: child sexuality as encouraged and entangled with adult sexuality; child sexuality as conditioned by what is perceived as normal or abnormal in children; and child sexuality as repressed. These three discourses mainly appear chronologically, but also overlap and connect with one another. When analysis begins from children’s position and a theoretical understanding of children’s and adults’ agency as interdependent, it becomes possible to see how the child is construed as agentic, and how the adult role changes from encouraging sexual play to regulating and monitoring behaviour so that it does not occur. Over time, discourse on young children’s sexual play has changed our understanding of both adults and children. Adults are increasingly construed as less knowledgeable in relation to young children’s sexuality, and young children have become understood as more dangerous and in need of having their sexuality constrained and civilised.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we juxtapose Norman Fairclough’s (1992) Critical Discourse Analysis with the history of childhood in order to analyze children’s and adults’ agency in a Swedish kindergarten during the 1930s. We use a primary source, a child observation, to study the role of initiatives, i.e. actions, in a situation where the children were playing kindergarten. The main question posed concerns the new insights that we can gain into children’s and adults’ agency when studying initiatives as a form of agency involving compliance (Gleason 2016). The article shows that demonstrating how to comply with a situation could be part of how a child could contribute to, and build, a shared preschool identity, formed by an interdependence that included both children and adults. The focus is not on whether or not a child could play an agentic role in relation to adults, but rather on how the collective decision-making involving children and adults was affected by their respective capacities to contribute. In addition to the analysis of social interactions, we suggest that similar sources, i.e. historical child observations, could be used in creative ways for transnational investigations of children’s and adults’ everyday lives in early childhood institutions.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The scout movement was founded in England 100 years ago. Today, it is established globally and has 38 million members. The Swedish branch of the movement is coeducational and it is based on voluntary work, membership fees and support from the state. The scout movement organizes the free time for many children, youth and adults in Sweden. It is a milieu and a context where children are being trained. The movement contains both traces of continuity and change. In that way it can say something about the development of society. The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the design of a coming research project about the scout movement. The study, which further develops some of the research questions arising from my dissertation research, seeks to contribute with knowledge about how childhood is being constructed. The aim of the thesis was to describe children's own perspectives on being scouts and to describe the scout movement as a cultural phenomenon (Westberg, 2007). In the coming study, I will study the leaders' perspectives on the children. Instead of studying the movement in general I will study the movement's construction of childhood and its view of knowledge in particular. The project aims to study a culture which is created for children. What does the movement think is best for children? How is childhood constructed within the scout movement? These questions are of particular interest in a time when the movement tries to modernize itself to suit a wider target group among the population.

Learning to lead : the transition from youth to adult within the Swedish scout movement

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present article is to explore how members transit from participants to leaders within Swedish scouting. It is a contribution to the ongoing discussion about the continued involvement of older participants within youth cultures [Bennett, A. (2006). Punk's not dead: The continuing significance of punk rock for and older generations of fans. Sociology, 40, 219–235; Bennett, A., & Hodkinson, P. (2012). Ageing and youth cultures: Music, style and identity. London: Berg; Davis, J. R. (2006). Growing up punk: Negotiating aging identity in a local music scene. Symbolic interaction, 29(1), 63–69; Hodkinson, P. (2011). Ageing in a spectacular “youth culture”: Continuity, change and community amongst older goths. The British Journal of Sociology, 62(2), 262–282], through investigating a different case; that of a youth organization. Both educators, who take charge, as well as participants taking part in scout leadership courses, have been interviewed. The present study demonstrates there is an end to childhood and youth within scouting. In order to stay involved, the participant has to become a leader. Paradoxically, though, no significant difference between being a scout and a leader is however experienced. The only difference is that the member has to be more responsible as a scout leader. None of the informants, however, mention responsibility as their main motive for continued participation. Rather, the main motive for volunteering as leaders seems to be the prospect of remaining scouts. Through becoming a leader, the scout is able to stay a scout and concomitantly; to stay youthful.
