- All people are different. All teachers are different. All students are different. They have different life situations, different study situations, and different preferences, conditions, and abilities. How can we take this diversity into account when we plan our teaching and exams? What situations should we prepare for? How can we help students focus on their learning and not on unnecessary obstacles we unconsciously introduce? If we make small efforts upfront, this lets us avoid much larger efforts later on when we are confronted with the reality of students in our class and their different needs.At this round table, let us discuss diversity in teaching and learning. During fall 2023, a pilot of the course “The Inclusive Classroom” was run at LTH, the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. We present the compiled, most important take-aways of participants and instructors, in addition to individual case-studies. In a nutshell: There are a lot of easy things you can do that can already have large effects, and you are not alone: LTH has many resources to support you. Please join a supportive, engaged community and learn from and with us!

Child-Friendly Environments—What, How and by Whom?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential for a far broader scope. Besides participation processes, what important socio-physical qualities make environments child-friendly, and how can they be developed? This paper presents a structured literature review of the concept of child-friendly environments, in order to address the full socio-physical spectrum. The results focus on concrete factors that have been filtered through child-friendliness and the associated frameworks, showing an inherent dependence between the social context and the physical environment. The shaping of child-friendliness hinges on the realization of environments that are safe, fair, and with accessible and variable green and open spaces. A multi-stakeholder endeavor including, e.g., planners, designers, and managers requires clearly outlined priorities. This study lays the groundwork for further exploration of how the concept of child-friendly environments can lead to positive changes, also as part of the overall strive toward sustainable development.

Queer as a City : Unsettling coherence in 'sustainable urban development'
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Architecture, planning and urban design are some of the professional practices that contribute to the spatial aspects of societal organization and enable everyday life to run smoothly. The urgent and intertwined challenges of climate change and social injustice have introduced new dimensions to these tasks, frequently framed as working towards ‘sustainable development.’ In this doctoral thesis, I aim to study how architecture (understood in a very broad sense) contributes to establishing normative, and potentially ‘sustainable’ orders. This is studied through an example of the ‘sustainable urban development’ (SUD) project Hyllie, located in Malmö, Sweden. SUD is understood as a particular typology with some shared characteristics; Hyllie not only exemplifies this typology but has also explicitly aimed to become a model and frontrunner for it. This thesis thus directs a critical lens particularly toward a privileged and resourceful context with strong ‘sustainability’ credits.A queer theoretical framework is utilized to explore how architecture reiterates orders and how it deals with heterogeneity and multiplicity. In the thesis, queerness is understood broadly as a movement of thought and language to think about difference, and about the incoherence positioned outside coherent orders of normality. Combining perspectives of equity and normativity, the theoretical framework suggests that lines of coherent normality are produced in relation to the distribution of support, understood as all resources needed to sustain human life, also including architecture. Drawing on this framework, I ask what lives, relationships and visions for the future are supported in (and excluded from) ‘sustainable urban development.’The thesis aims primarily to formulate a theoretical framework to understand architectural (re)production of orders, as well as queer subversion. I present a glossary of concepts; together, these explain different dimensions and processes of stabilization and transition of normative orders. The secondary aim of the thesis is to contribute to the empirical field of study, SUD in general and social perspectives on sustainable architecture in particular. I argue that queer theory and queer perspectives are particularly well suited to support architectural practice in going beyond status quo in current uncertain times. The thesis contributes to making visible and unsettling how SUD sustains structures of inequality, but at the same time it also defends the inherent potential of architecture to counter inequality through the redistribution of support.

Unmapping green space : Discursive dispossession of the right to green space by a compact city planning epistemology

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for this area has come to focus on a ‘compact city’ typology in line with Malmö’s strategy for creating a ‘near, dense, green and mixed city’. Such compact city typology emphasizes high density, urbanity, proximity and mixed-use as key values for renewal, but also threatens the green spaces in areas designated for densification. This article illustrates how renewal plans for modernist residential areas with generous green space provision also ensure dispossession of residents’ rights to green space. Our analysis highlights how this planned dispossession is preceded by a discursive dispossession carried out by the way urban planning represents these spaces. The Rosengård case illustrates how a compact city vision imposed on marginalized modernist areas co-emerges with new forms of expert knowledge which both ‘unmaps’ existing green spaces and defines them as problematic and requiring interventions. The article highlights the important, but not yet sufficiently explored, dispossession of the right to public green space in racialized poor peripheries of Northern cities already facing intense displacement pressure. We argue that this type of renewal of modernist areas not only tends to neglect mapping important public spaces and uses of space, but actively produces blind spots by deploying a compact city planning epistemology which necessarily undermines rights to green space in the city and should put into question the compact city as the default sustainability fix.
