Medicinsk humaniora vid Humanistiska fakulteten, Göteborgs universitet: En rapport
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I ett landskap för högre utbildning och forskning som är statt i förändring ställs allt större krav på de akademiska disciplinerna att visa sin relevans för samtida samhällsutmaningar. Ett av de områden som tydliggör relevansen hos humaniora är vad som kommit att kallas ”medicinsk humaniora”. Den här rapporten, som kommit till på ett initiativ av Humanistiska fakultetsstyrelsen vid Göteborgs universitet, har som syfte att beskriva hur medicinsk humaniora som område kommit att utvecklas, hur det har definierats och vilken relevans det kan tänkas ha, hur området ser ut i Sverige i stort och vid Göteborgs universitet i synnerhet samt presentera möjliga strategier för en satsning på området från Humanistiska fakultetens sida.

Demographic responses to colonization among indigenous populations : Migration and mortality in 19th century northernmost Sweden
- 2013
-
Ingår i: XXVII IUSSP International Population Conference. ; , s. 221-221

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Although history shows how colonization has exposed indigenous populations to vulnerability, there is a narrow quantitative knowledge of how they demographically responded to colonization. Swedish parish registers are unique in providing longitudinal demographic data on the indigenous populations in northernmost Sweden: the Sami. The Demographic Data Base, Umeå University, has digitized these registers, which allows this study to conduct event history analyses of the Sami’s colonial experiences during the 19th century. If colonization added to the Sami’s difficulties to maintain their traditional use of land and lifestyle, it would be indicated by (1) untimely death among them; (2) a desire to leave their space as it was increasingly colonized. However, the propensity to depart was significantly higher among the Non-Sami people, primarily settlers, probably because it was a tough task to establish a farm in these remote cold areas. Additionally, ‘lock-in’ mechanisms might have reduced the Sami’s inclination to relocate, if this meant giving up a lifestyle and occupation difficult to perform in other settings. Their survival chances were higher than those of the Non-Sami, especially among women. In all, the findings propose that the Non-Sami individuals suffered from an ‘unhealthy migrant effect’.

Estimating death differentials to measure the labeling impact of disability : a case study of past populations in Sweden
- 2013
-
Ingår i: XXIVI IUSSP International Population Conference. - : IUSSP. ; , s. 150-
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study follows 555 disabled individuals over life to examine their survival chances in past society. The aim is to detect whether they were markedly stigmatized and thus faced difficulties in life, which we in accordance with the labeling theme of secondary deviance assume would be indicated by high levels of mortality. We make use of Sweden's 19th-century parish registers (digitized by the Demographic Data Base, Umeå University) to categorize the disability marks the ministers noted about their parishioners. Then we employ a six-fold disability categorization and run multivariate regression models. The statistical results suggest that the type of disability mattered but was not the only key to the individuals' mortality, because age, SES and gender determined the survival of disabled, too. Disability shaped women's life expectancy more evidently than the men's; women afflicted with multiple disabilities were least likely to survive. Our findings are rare in providing statistical evidence of disabled individuals' experiences beyond institutional life and because we seek to measure the level of labeling in their life. The death differentials demonstrate that the disabled constituted a heterogeneous collection of people whose demography and pathways must be further researched.

Adopting the past, adapting the future: Crow Idealism and the narration of a fortunate people
- 2013

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Plenty Coups, last traditional war chief of the Crows had said about his people’s life on the reservation, “After this nothing happens”. His people were left in waiting for the good life to return. There is no denying the significant change in lifestyle and livelihood for all Native Americans once the reservation era was in place. The tribes were heaved into a system of poverty and assimilation that has left its mark on Native American communities still today. Yet even in this period of despair, Plenty Coups gathered strength through his vision of the future, his knowledge of survival for his people was guided by the blessings of a spirit being that once visited him. His strategy was to learn how to think like the whites in order to challenge them. Today, Crow Indians interpret themselves as at the point of turning away from poverty through recent settlements regarding disputes of land ownership and water rights. With those issues nearly resolved, it has paved the way for Crows to broker their own deals in the coal mining industry. These major developments are reflected upon to fit the narratives provided by leaders and heroes of the past that are essential in guiding a Crow way of life and living on their own terms. This paper discusses the ways in which Crows attempt to shape their futures through lessons of the past found in the visions of the old generations, and how the idea of the past guides the present tribal leadership and its choices for the future.
