Coloniality and Decolonisation in the Nordic region
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book advances critical discussions about what coloniality, decoloniality and decolonization mean and imply in the Nordic region. It brings together analysis of complex realities from the perspectives of the Nordic peoples, a region that are often overlooked in current research, and explores the processes of decolonization that are taking place in this region. The book offers a variety of perspectives that engage with issues such as Islamic feminism and the progressive left; racialization and agency among Muslim youths; indigenizing distance language education for Sami; extractivism and resistance among the Sami; the Nordic international development endeavour through education; Swedish TV-reporting on Venezuela; creolizing subjectivities across Roma and non-Roma worlds and hierarchies; and the whitewashing and sanitization of decoloniality in the Nordic region. As such, this book extends much of the productive dialogue that has recently occurred internationally in decolonial thinking but also in the areas of critical race theory, whiteness studies, and postcolonial studies to concrete and critical problems in the Nordic region. This should make the book of considerable interest to scholars of history of ideas, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, international development studies, legal sociology and (intercultural) philosophy with an interest in coloniality and decolonial social change.

Nation i ombildning : essäer om 2000-talets Sverige
- 2018. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sverige har länge betraktats som en demokratisk förebild och ett öppet och solidariskt välfärdssamhälle. Under 2000-talet har social ojämlikhet och boendesegregering ökat, åtföljd av rasism och en allt mer restriktiv flyktingpolitik. Sverige är en nation i ombildning. Åtstramningspolitik och högerpopulism har fått bred förankring i partipolitiken. Samtidigt uppstår motrörelser, där civilsamhälleliga aktörer kräver en fördjupad demokrati och social rättvisa. Vi står inför ett skifte. Kommer en nyliberal ekonomisk politik att smälta samman med en auktoritär, rasistisk populism? Eller är de nya rörelserna en öppning mot ett mer inkluderande, jämlikt och rättvist samhälle, där visionen för framtiden byggs på hopp och optimism — inte rädsla och hot?

‘Are we to become a gender university?’ Facets of resistance to a gender equality project
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Gender, Work and Organization. - : Blackwell Publishing Ltd. - 0968-6673 .- 1468-0432. ; 25:2, s. 127-143
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gender equality (GE) is something ‘we cannot not want’. Indeed, the pursuit of equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all women and men throughout a society freed from gendered oppression is widely visible in recent organizational GE initiatives. In practice, however, GE initiatives often fail in challenging gendered norms and at effecting deep-seated change. In fact, GE measures tend to encounter resistance, with a gap between saying and doing. Using a GE project at a Swedish university, we examined the changing nature of reactions to GE objectives seeking to understand why gender inequality persists in academia. We used ‘resistance’ to identify multiple, complex reactions to the project, focusing on the discursive practices of GE. Focusing our contextual analysis on change and changes in reactions enabled a process-oriented analysis that revealed gaps where change is possible. Thus, we argue that studying change makes it possible to identify points in time where gendered discriminatory norms are more likely to occur. However, analysing discursive practices does not itself lead to change nor to action. Rather, demands for change must start with answering, in a collaborative way, what problem we are trying to solve when we start a new GE project, in order to be relevant to the specific context. Otherwise, GE risks being the captive of consensus politics and gender inequality will persist.

Risky business? Organizing sexual facilitation in Swedish personal assistance services
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research. - : Stockholm University Press. - 1501-7419 .- 1745-3011. ; 18:2, s. 164-175
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite nearly two decades of disability research highlighting the need to take greater account of disabled people's sexualities, sexuality is still largely a taboo subject in disability services, thus limiting service users’ possibilities to express their sexuality. In this article, I aim to show how Swedish personal assistance managers organize sexual facilitation, that is, assistance from personnel in service users’ sexual engagement. The article draws on findings from a focus group study with managers of municipal and private service providers. Three main themes are discussed: the managers’ different ways of organizing sexual facilitation; how they conceptualize sexuality and normality; and risk management practices. I argue that societal discourse on sexual normality greatly influences managers’ views on and strategies for organizing sexual facilitation. Hence, sexual facilitation in personal assistance services is viewed as a non-normative form of sexuality and a work-related risk rather than a possibility to increase service users’ sexual rights.

The power of discretion and the discretion of power: personal assistants and sexual facilitation in disability services
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Vulnerable Groups & Inclusion. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2000-8023. ; 4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: The purpose of this article is to explore how personal assistants, working in state-funded services for mobility-disabled people in Sweden, perceive and experience their work, with special focus on sexual facilitation (assistance with sexual activities). Background: Personal assistance services are a legal right, aiming to give certain disabled people the possibility to live on equal terms in society with non-disabled citizens. The services are to be grounded on the principles of self-determination, autonomy, integrity, and user influence according to independent-living ideology. However, the legislation does not mention sexuality, and in addition, there are often no local policies; hence, it is unclear what service users can demand in terms of sexual facilitation, and on the assistants’ part, what is and what is not acceptable to assist with. Methods: The methods used to gather data were interviews with 15 personal assistants as well as observations in an online discussion forum for personal assistants. Findings: The analysis suggests that personal assistants may experience that there is a taboo against discussing sexual facilitation in the workplace. There are no predetermined policies, regulations, or ethical codes of conduct regarding sexual facilitation, and the personal assistants’ discretion is therefore strong. Different strategies for managing this discretion were identified, greatly influenced by personal values, as well as societal norms. Conclusion: The normative context of discretion is highly visible, suggesting the importance of uncovering the interplay between the power dimensions of sexuality, disability, gender, and professionalism.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Att betrakta Tarrant, Breivik och Lundin Pettersson som ensamvargar är även att bortse från rasismens påverkan på den kognitiva och materiella processen inom västerländska samhällen, skriver Adrián Groglopo och menar att även experterna på terror är en del av den processen.

Skandinavien als Zuflucht für jüdische Intellektuelle 1933–1945
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nach der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten brach im Deutschen Reich Terror gegen Juden und Andersdenkende los. Die sich schrittweise, aber rasant verschlechternden Lebensverhältnisse und die zunehmende Verfolgung zwangen Tausende Menschen zur Flucht. Außerhalb von Hitlers Macht- und Einflussbereich mussten sie den Versuch wagen, sich eine neue Existenz aufzubauen. Verglichen mit ihren europäischen Nachbarländern nahmen die skandinavischen Länder nur wenige Flüchtlinge auf. Dennoch wurden sie, insbesondere das neutrale Schweden, aufgrund der politischen Entwicklung in Europa zu wichtigen Zentren des Exils. In der Folge leisteten die Emigranten bedeutende Beiträge zu Kunst, Kultur, Wissenschaft und Politik der Aufnahmeländer. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich einem bislang nur wenig erforschten Kapitel der Geschichtsschreibung: dem jüdischen intellektuellen Exil in Skandinavien.

Se upp - allt fler kvinnor kör som män! : Nollvisionen som diskurs och problemet män i trafiken
- 2009

Ingår i: Tidskrift för Genusvetenskap. - Karlstad : Föreningen Tidskrift för Genusforskning. - 1654-5443 .- 2001-1377. ; :2-3, s. 97-118

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sweden is the first country in the world to have introduced the so-called Vision Zero (Nollvisionen). This is an ethical approach suggesting that road safety cannot be traded for mobility. Since the beginning of mass-motoring, men have been over-represented in traffic safety statistics, in terms of both ‘causing’ accidents and casualties. Against the background of the Swedish Vision Zero, it is quite extraordinary how little attention work on traffic safety has paid to men’s over-representation in Swedish fatal road accidents (90%), and (auto)mobility as a way of doing gender. The present article discusses how men and women driver subjects are produced through the Vision Zero discourse, with a particular focus on how men in traffic are constructed. This is important since such constructions and modes of address affect possible interventions and ‘solutions’ regarding road safety issues. Here I focus on three contemporary documents of policy making character or with general impact: first, the Governmental Act 2003 on road safety intervention; second, a report from the Swedish Road Administration which is applying a gender equality discourse on transport; and third a brochure issued by the Road Administration addressed to the everyday road user. These documents constitute case material that is illustrative of the Vision Zero as a generative apparatus of gender discourse. The article brings attention to the ambiguous ways in which the Vision Zero may, on the one hand, explicitly address men as problematic driver subjects, as an explicitly gendered high risk category; and, on the other, make men and masculine norms implicit through the rendering of young(er) driver subjects as problematic. This also involves pointing out women as an up and coming high risk category. To improve road safety, the discursive effects of this configuration suggest allocating responsibility partly to the ‘system’, partly to women driver subjects – in effect, to women who drive like men – rather than the men driver subjects.

Könade normers betydelse för en jämställd och hållbar transportpolitik och planering.
- 2021

Ingår i: På väg mot hållbar omställning? Kunskap, makt och mening i nationell transportplanering.. - Boxholm : Linnefors förlag. - 9789188651129

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Jämställdhet har potential att bidra till ett hållbarare transportsystem av betydelse inte minst för klimatutmaningen. Ett transportsystem utan jämställdhetsperspektiv kan inte anses vara hållbart. Vår utgångspunkt är vidare att jämställdhet inte bara handlar om jämn könsfördelning utan också om att uppmärksamma könade normer vilka inrymmer värderingar och ideal baserade på livsvillkoren för kvinnor och män inom samhällets olika områden. I vår och andras forskning har det dock noterats att jämställdhetsperspektivet är påtagligt frånvarande i transportplanering – vilket är ett jämställdhetsproblem som dessutom negligerar en ansenlig klimatomställningspotential. Med ett helt jämställt transportsystem och samhälle skulle resandet vara mer lika mellan män och kvinnor. Det är dock viktigt att poängtera att den senaste forskningen visar att skillnader mellan kvinnor och män skulle kvarstå, även i ett samhälle där ekonomisk standard, förvärvsarbetande och hushållsarbete skulle vara jämställt. Kvarstående skillnader skulle då ha att göra med värderingar, attityder och normer. Oavsett handlar målet dock inte om att kvinnor och män ska göra lika, utan att människor oavsett kön ska ha lika möjligheter att forma sina egna liv liksom att forma samhället. Helt avgörande är det att både kvinnliga och manliga normer tillmäts samma betydelse och är lika styrande av transportplaneringen. nsekvenserna på vardagsresandet av olika åtgärdsförslag. Vår och andras forskning pekar på att begreppet jämställdhet kan användas som en metod för att nå hållbar utveckling. Med tanke på uppställda klimatmål och den tidspress som finns att genomföra klimatåtgärder, kan inte den energibesparingspotential som ett jämställt transportsystem medför negligeras. Det är en självklar demokratifråga att jämställt inkludera både kvinnor och män i utformningen av transportsystemet, men det är även en jämställdhetsfråga att inkludera hållbarhetsperspektivet på utformningen av transportsystemet. Den sammanvägda potentialen för jämställdhet att bidra till hållbarhet kräver både beteendeförändringar och normförändringar inom transportsektorn. Avseende åtgärder visar vår tidigare forskning att problemet inte handlar om frånvaro av strategier eller policys. De finns redan. Det handlar istället om hur de blir till praktiska beslut och handlingar, och om vilka metoder och perspektiv som används i görandet av planer och strategier. De tjänstepersoner och politiker som i sin vardag diskuterar och beslutar om trafik- och transportplanering behöver en större förståelse för varför och hur jämställdhet och hållbarhet är viktigt och hur frågor om jämställdhet är tätt kopplade till hållbara beslut inom sektorn. En sådan förståelse kan bidra till att förändra de normer som styr beslutsfattande mot ett mer jämställt och hållbart transportsystem.

Fearless Fighters and Submissive Wives: Negotiating Identity among Women Soldiers in the Congo (DRC)

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article addresses an underreported aspect of contemporary warring in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): the experiences of women soldiers and officers in the Congolese national armed forces (Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo [FARDC]). It thus addresses an empirical gap in scholarly and policy knowledge about female soldiers in national armies on the African continent, and the DRC in particular. Based on original interviews, the article explores the way female soldiers in the FARDC understand their identities as “women soldiers” and offers new insight into women soldiers’ role and responsibilities in the widespread violence committed against civilians in the DRC. Moreover, it explores how their understanding of themselves as “women soldiers” both challenges and confirms familiar notions of the army as a masculine sphere. Such insight is important for better understanding the gendered makeup of the military and for contributing to a knowledge base for Security Sector Reform in this violent (post)conflict setting.

- Grave violations of children’s rights during armed conflict, particularly the recruitment and use of children by armed forces and groups, have been an important and growing concern for UN peacekeeping since the mid-1990s. Important advances in these children and armed conflict agenda have included dedicated child protection language in mission mandates, the development of extensive training and policy on child protection, and successful engagement with armed forces and groups to end abuses against children. However, the mandate has gaps in focusing on prevention of grave violations, acknowledging children’s participation in peace and security, and how child protection could contribute to building and sustaining peace. This chapter examines three areas in which future UN peacekeeping missions can improve their approach to the children and armed conflict agenda and complement ongoing initiatives such as Action for Peacekeeping + : better centering children in peace and security efforts, improving early warning and early action to prevent grave violations, and adopting more nuanced understandings of children’s gender and agency.

Breaking the silence : Voicing teachers’ exposure to identity-based exclusionary processes at workplace
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The 1st work science meeting. - : Malmö universitet. - 9789178774302 ; , s. 4-5
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study explores thirty compulsory schoolteachers’ experiences of exposure to exclusionary behaviour and comments by fellow colleagues, students, or their legal guardians at the workplace. Using analytic terms exclusionary processes and intersectionality, and by interviewing teachers who have experienced exclusion due to norms concerning gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and religion, I will answer following research questions: How do teachers experience exclusion and how does it affect them? What makes exclusion at workplace possible and how can one act on it? Of particular interest is subtle exclusion, as it is hard to detect and has been neglected be professionals and Swedish researchers, despite the evidence of high rate of occurrence and negative psychological, social, and professional consequences. Theoretical inspiration comes from research on intersectionality and microaggressions in the workplace. The study is based on interviews with teachers, who have volunteered to talk about their own experiences of exclusionary processes. The interviewees, working in different educational settings, define, describe, and are asked to problematize and contextualize exclusionary processes that affect them. The study shows that the interviewees are subjected to exclusionary processes because they do not occupy normative position in the local context. Gender-based exclusionary processes are often interdependent of several identity-based power differentials that may or may not operate simultaneously (for example age, gender, ethnicity and educational background or whiteness norms, religion, and gender may intersect each other, reinforcing or weakening different power axes). Additionally, the interviewed teachers express that there is a lack of institutional support for change, highlighting the importance of developing analytical tools to understand and eventually tackle subtle exercises of exclusionary power. Nowhere in the analyzed empirical material has there been talk of attempts at collective action where the teachers join or themselves organize social movements and act collectively, even though, according to Bonilla-Silva (2018), these forms of resistance make the largest impact in terms of changing social structures of exclusion. The lack of collective action and institutional support highlights the need for a paradigm shift.

Sexual professionalism: for whom? The case of sexual facilitation in Swedish personal assistance services
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Disability & Society. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0968-7599 .- 1360-0508. ; 30:5, s. 788-801

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Sexuality is a taboo subject in disability services, leading to insecurity for both service users and personnel about how to handle upcoming situations. In Sweden, there is also a lack of policy in this area, highlighting the need to study sexuality both as an individual and a political, and in this case also, depoliticized issue. A critical feminist policy analysis reveals that norms around disability, sexuality and professionalism in a particular legal, political and cultural context strongly influence the willingness to recognize disabled people’s sexual rights. The Swedish case indicates a need for increased transnational work to develop ethical, professional and non-discriminatory rights-based approaches to sexual facilitation.

Det besvärliga våldet : Socialtjänstens stöd till kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I avhandlingen analyseras hur våldsutsatta kvinnors behov tolkas, omförhandlas och anpassas för att kunna hanteras inom socialtjänstens organisation. Avhandlingens övergripande frågeställningar fokuserar på insatser och behov, betydelsen av socialtjänstens organisering och betydelsen av socialarbetarnas handlingsutrymme. Avhandlingen baseras på kvalitativa analyser av statliga propositioner, intervjuer med socialarbetare och med kvinnor som varit utsatta för våld i nära relationer. Det teoretiska ramverket bygger bland annat på Frasers (1989) teoretiska perspektiv som tar sin utgångspunkt i samhällets tolkningar av människors/gruppers behov av stöd, nyinstitutionell teori och teorier om gatubyråkrater. Avhandlingen visar att socialarbetares tolkningar är centrala aspekter av förhandlingen om hur våldsutsatta kvinnors behov och rätt till stöd ska förstås. Ett viktigt resultat i avhandlingen är att stödet till våldsutsatta kvinnor blir så pass olika. Avhandlingen ger inga svar i kvantitativa termer på hur olikheten är fördelad, men den ger exempel på hur olikheten tar sig uttryck. I kommuner där specialiseringen innebär att socialarbetarna på socialkontoret i första hand utreder behov och fattar beslut om insatser, måste det också finnas adekvata insatser att besluta om. Saknas det så erbjuds inte heller något stöd. Stödet till kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relationer blir också olika eftersom socialarbetare ställer olika krav eller sätter upp olika trösklar för att kvinnor ska få stöd. Avhandlingen visar att både gemensam kunskap och gemensam syn på sociala problem är centralt för att samarbetet inom den specialiserade socialtjänstens ska fungera och i längden också för vilket stöd människor kommer att erbjudas.

The Complexity of Violence : A critical analysis of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report, the first in Sida’s gender-based violence series, draws on an original case study, including extensive interviews with members of thearmed forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). By critically exploring and convincingly challenging existing stereotypes and narratives about sexual violence in conflict settings, the authors reveal the need for a nuanced understanding of SGBV, including its invisible victims. Their analysis transcends reductionist explanations that separate SGBV from other forms of violence that afflict war-torn societies, and haunt post-war contexts. They thus provide invaluable insights into the complex circumstances in which SGBV occurs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The global attention focused on sexual violence in the DRC has not only contributed to an image of the Congolese army as a vestige of pre-modern barbarism, populated by rapists, and bearing no resemblance to the world of modern armies; it has also shaped gender and defence reform initiatives. These initiatives have become synonymous with combating sexual violence, reflecting an assumption that the gendered dynamics of the army are already known. Crucial questions such as the ‘feminization’ of the armed forces are consequently neglected. Based on in-depth interviews with soldiers in the Congolese armed forces, this article analyses the discursive strategies male soldiers employ in relation to the feminization of the army. In the light of the need to reform the military and military masculinities, the article discusses how globalized discourses and practices render the Congolese military a highly globalized sphere. It also highlights the particular and local ways in which military identities are produced through gender, and concludes that a simple inclusion of women in the armed forces in order to render men less violent might not have the pacifying effect intended.

- This article explores the ways soldiers in the Congo speak about the massive amount of rape committed by the armed forces in the recent war in the DRC. It focuses on the reasons that the soldiers give to why rape occurs. It discusses how the soldiers distinguish between ‘‘lust rapes’’ and ‘‘evil rapes’’ and argues that their explanations of rape must be understood in relation to notions of different (impossible) masculinities. Ultimately, through reading the soldiers’ words, we can glimpse the logics—arguably informed by the increasingly globalized context of soldiering—through which rape becomes possible, and even ‘‘normalized’’ in particular warscapes.

- Läkaren och professorn emeritus Per-Ingvar Brånemark avled 20 december 2014. Han etablerade området osseointegration, strukturell förbindelse mellan levande ben och ytan av ett artificiellt material, som i dag utnyttjas för allt från höftleder och fästelement för silikonproteser till hörapparater. 2011 fick Brånemark priset European Inventor Award i kategorin Lifetime achievement av det europeiska patentverket. Men processen från uppfinning till berömmelse var tidvis turbulent – både i medicinskt och ekonomiskt perspektiv.

Women as the Essential Protectors of Children?: Gender and Child Protection in UN Peacekeeping
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The United Nations and many member states have placed increased emphasis on improving child protection in UN peacekeeping missions, particularly with regard to child soldiers. These efforts often depict a critical role for female peacekeepers in child protection. In this paper I analyse UN child protection documents, drawing on feminist critiques of gendered discourses in peacekeeping and work on children in global politics to explore how the UN understands gender in child protection contexts. I do so through an analysis of how peacekeepers’ gendered subject positions and representations of children in need of protection are constructed. I find that the construction of children primarily as victims lacking agency and in need of being saved, and a focus on female peacekeepers primarily in community engagement, risk perpetuating the neglect of children’s agency during armed conflict and leave the protective masculine basis of peacekeeping largely unchallenged. These constructions have implications for the implementation of both the children and armed conflict and WPS agendas in peacekeeping.

Chemistries of Love. Impotence, erectile dysfunction and Viagra in Läkartidningen
- 2008

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines the discourse surrounding impotence, erectile dysfunction and Viagra in the Swedish medical journal Läkartidningen. It draws on articles published from 1990 to 2006, the eight years prior to and after Viagra’s 1998 introduction. Close reading of the articles has shown changes over this time period in how the impotent patient is defined. It has also revealed a transition in the discourse from the term impotence to erectile dysfunction. In these articles the role of the (female) partner in finding a solution to impotence and the social aspects of impotence also change dramatically once Viagra is available. Results from this study are contextualized against similar research that has examined the medical discourse around erectile dysfunction in the international arena.

Malaysia's View on the European Union's External Policies on Development And Gender Equality
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Presented at Gender Studies Programme, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, 17 September 2013.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The European Union (EU) has made it an explicit objective to "foster" development and gender equality in countries around the world through its external policies. The EU as a so-called "normative power" has been extensively covered in academic literature. However, scant attention has been devoted to the EU's attempts to promote gender equality - and even less attention devoted towards understanding how this is perceived by other countries around the globe. This project therefore draws attention towards how Malaysian policy makers and civil society actors percieve the EU as a "normative power" - and how they perceive and respond the EU's attempts to "foster gender-equality" in Malaysia.

A Cry for Care But not Justice : Embodied Vulnerabilities and the Moral Economy of Child Welfare
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores the pivotal role of the body for political recognition and rights claims in child welfare "moral" interventions. I examine how the bodily figures in child welfare assessments, linking these manifestations to the concept of the moral economy of care. A sample of assessment reports from a Swedish municipality, all addressing violations of children's bodies or integrity, are used as empirical material. I show how the psychosomatically suffering child is being best "heard" as vulnerable. I also argue that such a moral economy of care silences children's accounts of gendered and racial injustices. Furthermore, racialized moral divides are indicated when assessments of different child bodies are considered. A concluding remark points to need for a child welfare moral economy of social justice that responds to structural intersecting injustices in childhoods, including to those of a racialized child welfare and its individualized and symptom-oriented services.

Perceptions of participation and the role of gender for the engagement in solar energy communities in Sweden
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Energy, Sustainability and Society. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2192-0567. ; 11:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Energy communities are emphasized by the EU as important for developing sustainable energy systems that include and engage many people. While many renewables are highly compatible with a more decentralized energy system, research indicates that participation in 'desirable' energy activities and energy decision-making is influenced by social and economic factors, including gender, economic status and home ownership. The overall aim of this article is to contribute to this line of inquiry by exploring how and under which conditions energy communities allow for broader participation in the energy system. This article examines how gender, as a more specific condition, influences the extent to which parties can or cannot engage with collective solar ownership models by means of a qualitative study of 11 solar energy communities and one housing association in Sweden.Results: The study revealed that despite the relative potential for inclusion that they hold, energy communities can raise justice concerns in terms of inequities concerning access, capacity, and opportunity to engage in decision-making.Conclusions: While solely focusing on gender offers a limited view of the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in renewable energy projects, it is our position that integrating it into the analysis will provide insights into possible measures to remedy limitations and accelerate the renewable energy transition.

Initiators, controllers, and influencers: Enacting patient advocacy roles in cervical cancer screening policy practices
- 2021

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter looks at how patient advocates have intervened in cervical cancer policies to promote and enact the HPV test as the new “right tool for the job” in cervical cancer screening. By drawing upon an ethnography of a Swedish patients’ group, it provides a case study of patient advocates as key actors in the current fabrics and monitoring of healthcare policies. Focused on the interplay between “uninvited participation” and “evidence-based activism,” the chapter discusses how patient advocacy roles—“initiators,” “controllers,” and “influencers”—are enacted and sparked through policy-related patient activism. The author pays particular attention to how patient advocates translate “credentialized knowledge,” such as clinical guidelines, journal articles, and statistics, into evidence in support of policy change. The chapter develops the notion of “evidential objects,” used for analyzing the role of such material and textual objects in patient advocates’ mobilization of evidence.
