Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Statens hantering av forskningsresultat i rättsprocessen med Girjas sameby utgör ett hot mot Sverige som rättsstat och kunskapsnation. Åratal av svensk och internationell forskning underkänns och man använder ett språkbruk som skulle kunna vara hämtat från rasbiologins tid. Nu måste staten ta sitt ansvar och börja agera som en demokratisk rättsstat, skriver 59 forskare.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Embedded with pre-existing meaning and a complex set of core principles and practices, "diplomacy" is a term familiar to most. Simply put, diplomacy is the established methods of influencing the decisions and behavior of foreign governments and peoples through dialogue, negotiation, and other measures to resolve conflict and maintain peace. In this article, we review the literature pertaining to the concept of diplomacy, focusing primarily on the lesser recognized diplomacies of First Peoples in Australia and Sweden. Through the telling of three significant events, historical and contemporary, drawn from many possible examples of the two nations, we demonstrate that Indigenous diplomacies are not new but rather newly recognized. We argue for the utilization of Indigenous diplomatic practices to realize self-determining research with, and by, First Peoples. In doing so, centuries of colonization that have resulted in power imbalances, which sought to assimilate and benefit settler/colonizer privilege through its governing institutions, may be disrupted and transformed. According to the literature search undertaken, this is an approach to Indigenous research that has received scant attention. Our discussion is guided by two key questions. First, can research informed by Indigenous diplomatic practices disrupt assimilationist research agendas set predominantly by society's governing institutions? Second, can recognition of Indigenous diplomatic principles and practices facilitate self-determining research? We draw on our experiences as Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers to suggest that the enactment of Indigenous diplomatic practices when undertaking our research 'proper ways' with First Peoples, according to Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing, has facilitated its success.

Practice-based research policy in the light of indigenous methodologies : the EU and Swedish education
- 2022
-
Ingår i: In education. - Saskatchewan : University of Regina. - 1927-6117. ; 28:1a, s. 23-38
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Participatory research methods in education, such as action research, have been around for some time. Recently, not only researchers but also research policy makers have highlighted the importance of participation between society and research. Citizen science, science with and for society, and practice-based educational research are examples of approaches that aim to bring society and research more closely together. In this paper, we explore underlying premises behind practice-based research policies in the EU and in Swedish educational research policy. In order to understand how participation can be understood, we have analysed them closely through a lens of Indigenous methodologies. Results reveal an underlying understanding of participation as nonreciprocal where expertise is a key concept, researchers hold this expertise, and where the main responsibilities for research lie with the researchers. However, the results also indicate a sense of respect for practice and a willingness to form relationships between research and practice.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social justice is part of higher education discourse within university mission statements, graduate qualities and university rhetoric globally (Connell, 2019; Wilson-Strydom, 2015). In Australia, this focus includes re-centring Indigenous Australian epistemologies and ontologies from the subjugated margins in academia (Moreton-Robinson, 2009; Nakata, 2007) and in Sweden, building an understanding of intergenerational traumas of school-based systemic violence against Indigenous Sámi (Atkinson, 2002; Norlin, 2017). This chapter highlights opportunities for upward socio-economic mobility for First Nations peoples through surpassing the deficit thinking still prevalent among invader-coloniser populations. Included in this we reference the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities (United Nations, 2021) and its potential to influence educational discourses in teaching practice and curriculum construction in Australia and Sweden. Indigenous Standpoint Theory (IST) and Critical Race Pedagogy (CRP) are utilised as critical frameworks for unpacking the historical background of racial oppression, understanding the complexities of Indigeneity and post-colonising constructs, and disrupting whiteness embedded in mono-cultural education. As practicing educators, we have sought in this chapter, to critically explore how Indigenous Knowledges and culturally responsive pedagogies are disrupting ethnocentric ontologies within the university sector through an emergent undisciplined strategy.

Ingår i: The Extractive Industries and Society. - : Elsevier. - 2214-790X .- 2214-7918. ; 12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper aims to explore Environmental Justice in two Indigenous contexts, Canada and Sweden, and uses the concept of Extractive Violence to discuss colonial articulations of extractivism and community strategies for dealing with it. Through analysis of existing research, as well as the experiences shared by the two Indigenous leaders, the paper investigates the different strategies and narratives of environmental justice enacted, and how is justice framed and discussed in response to extractive violence.

Extractive Violence on Indigenous Country : sami and Aboriginal Views on Conflicts and Power Relations with Extractive Industries
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Asymmetrical conflicts and power relations between extractive industries and Indigenous groups often have devastating consequences for Indigenous peoples. Many Indigenous groups are struggling to maintain their lands as Indigenous perspectives on connection to Country are frequently undervalued or dismissed in favour of extractivist ideologies. While this conflicted interface has been researched in various parts of the world, studies exploring conflicts and power relations with extractive industries from Indigenous perspectives are few.This thesis is an international comparison aiming to illuminate situations of conflict and asymmetrical power relations caused by extractivism on Indigenous lands from new viewpoints. By drawing on two single case studies, the situations for Laevas reindeer herding Sami community in northern Sweden and Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners in South Australia are compared and contrasted. Yarning (a form of interviewing) is used as a method for data collection and in order to stay as true as possible to the research participants’ own words a number of direct quotes are used. The analysis employs peace researcher Johan Galtung’s concepts of cultural and structural violence as analytical tools to further explore the participants’ experiences of interactions with extractive industries and industrial proponents, including governments. In addition, the thesis introduces the concept of extractive violence as a complement to Galtung’s model. Extractive violence is defined as a form of direct violence against people and/or animals and nature caused by extractivism, which predominantly impacts peoples closely connected to land. The concepts of structural and cultural violence are understood as unjust societal structures and racist and discriminating attitudes respectively.A number of main themes could be identified in the research participants’ narratives. However, the most prominent on both continents was connections to Country and the threat that extractive violence posed to these connections.The results show that although the expressions of cultural, structural and extractive violence experienced by the two Indigenous communities varied, the impacts were strikingly similar. Both communities identified extractive violence, supported by structural and cultural violence, as threats to the continuation of their societies and entire cultures. Furthermore, the results suggest that in order to address violence against Indigenous peoples and achieve conflict transformation, Indigenous and decolonising perspectives should be heard and taken into account.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the context of opposition to, or absence of, ethical engagement in Indigenous research, researchers aremorally obligated to make a stand that ensures their engagement strategy and implementation plan uses an approach based on positionality, participation, mutual respect, and partnership. Whilst this may involve new challenges for the researcher, such an initiative maximises the likelihood of an empowering and culturally safe process for vulnerable participants, including inexperienced researchers. As two early career researchers, we reflect on our experiences amidst some of the challenges within Indigenous research. These challenges include ethical, methodological and structural issues. The main aims of this chapter are to advocate for practical and philosophical reform of Indigenous research ethics particularly in the context of decolonisation; ultimately to maximise the benefits of research primarily for community research participants, service providers, and policy makers as opposed to primarily for the academy. The authors' experiential and theoretical knowledge enables a critical understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of a decolonising research approach and how this guides the development of an appropriate ethics protocol. We acknowledge that research impacts on Indigenous peoples' lives, often in a negative or unintended manner, and its governance varies dramatically according to individual as well as institutional values that are steeped in Western thought including colonialism. This paper draws on scholarly theoretical knowledge of cultural protocols and the governance of ethical processes from international and local sources, as well as our own experiences in cross-cultural communication to articulate what we call a Decolonising Standpoint. We regard this as a necessary addition to the implementation of an Indigenous Standpoint in the context of research, which has provided a highly credible philosophy and practice for Indigenous researchers. We aim to create an additional and quite distinct position that non-Indigenous researchers can add to their repertoire of skills and knowledge in the context of Indigenous research.

In this international comparison the analysis, based on the research participants’ narratives, employs Johan Galtung’s concepts of cultural and structural violence as analytical tools to further explore and contrast the participants’ experiences of interactions with extractive industries and industrial proponents. In addition, this study introduces extractive violence – defined as a form of direct violence but relating specifically to extractivism and Indigenous peoples – as a complement to Galtung’s model, known as the violence triangle. The results show that although the expressions of cultural, structural and extractive violence experienced by the two Indigenous communities varied, the impacts were strikingly similar. Both communities identified extractive violence, supported by structural and cultural violence, as threats to the continuation of their entire cultures. The study also shows that in order to address violence against Indigenous peoples, Indigenous and decolonising perspectives must be taken into account.

On Equal Terms? : exploring Traditional Owners' Views Regarding Radioactive Waste Dumps on Adnyamathanha Country
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of Australian Indigenous Issues. - 1440-5202. ; 19:3, s. 95-111
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners’ experiences of the South Australian Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission consultation process and the Australian Government’s nomination process for nuclear repository sites. The study investigates how structural and cultural violence is manifested in the relations between the Australian and South Australian Governments and members of the Adnyamathanha community. Structural violence includes power inequality, injustices and corruption built into social systems. Cultural violence means discriminatory attitudes and beliefs that justify and legitimise structural violence. The results show that structural violence is manifested in several ways including lack of information and language services as well as government representatives approaching individuals rather than the community. Cultural violence is demonstrated as discriminatory, colonial and racist attitudes and actions resulting in flawed consultation processes. The study concludes that in order to address structural and cultural violence Indigenous experiences and opinions must be heard and taken seriously.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sommaren 2013 präglades Sápmi av den pågående gruvdebatten. Den svenska regeringens mineralstrategi hade lett till att gruvbolaget Jokkmokk Iron Mines AB (Jimab) fått tillstånd att bryta järnmalm i Gállok utanför Jokkmokk, något som delar av lokalbefolkningen, miljöaktivister, renskötare och andra samer ville bestrida. Resultatet blev en långdragen konflikt. Trots att konflikten i Gállok nådde långt utanför Sveriges gränser genom uppmärksammande i utländska medier, möttes den med ett relativt svalt intresse i de nationella medierna. Syftet med kapitlet är att, med utgångspunkt i de artiklar som publicerats i de fyra största nationella pressmedierna, Dagens Nyheter (DN), Svenska Dagbladet (SvD), Aftonbladet (AB) och Expressen belysa och analysera gruvdebatten och riksmediernas intresse i gruvfrågan.

Shafted : a case of cultural and structural violence in the power relations between a Sami community and a mining company in northern Sweden
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the summer of 2013 a conflict between a mining company and a group of protesters took place in Gállok (Kallak) in northern Sweden. The conflict brought a long-standing debate to the surface about the so-called Swedish mining boom and its impact on both natural environments and the traditional Sami livelihood, reindeer herding. This article explores the power relations and structural and cultural violence experienced by members of a sameby (a Sami reindeer herding community) in its relations with the Swedish government-owned mining company LKAB. The study centres around the events that took place before and during the creation of an opinion piece, published in a Swedish national tabloid, involving both parties. The analysis uses two of the sameby members’ narratives to describe their experiences in order to investigate the power relations, which are then analysed using peace researcher Johan Galtung’s theories on structural and cultural violence.

Social Life Cycle Assessment Used in Indigenous Contexts : A Critical Analysis
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Sustainability. - : MDPI. - 2071-1050. ; 13:9
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper evaluates the method Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) from the perspectives of Indigenous methodologies and Indigenous standpoint, in order to identify some strengths and limitations of using S-LCA in Indigenous contexts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used to measure environmental impacts connected with all stages of the life cycle of a commercial product, process, or service. S-LCA is a methodology designed to include the social aspects of sustainability in the LCA methodology. S-LCA emphasizes stakeholder involvement and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) S-LCA guidelines (2020) lists Indigenous communities as possible stakeholders. With a focus on Indigenous communities in the Arctic region we also include comparative aspects from Australia to generate new conceptualizations and understandings. The paper concludes that S-LCA has the potential to facilitate opposing worldviews and with some further developments can be a valuable methodology for Indigenous contexts.

-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Asymmetric natural resource conflicts between extractive industries and Indigenous groups often have devastating consequences for Indigenous peoples. Due to colonial societal structures, where Indigenous perspectives on land management are frequently trivialised or ignored in favour of extractivist ideologies, many Indigenous groups are struggling to maintain their lands. This chapter draws on two case studies to compare situations of conflicts connected to natural resource exploitation, experienced by Laevas reindeer herding Sami community in northern Sweden and Adnyamathanha Traditional Owners in South Australia. The chapter builds on my PhD research where I introduced the concept of extractive violence as a complement to Galtung's violence triangle. Through building an analysis on concepts including connection to country, asymmetric conflict and extractive violence, deeper understandings of conflicts between extractive industries and Indigenous communities can be created. The chapter concludes that in order to achieve conflict transformation and address the violent structures many Indigenous groups are subjected to, the asymmetric power relations must be altered through the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives.
