Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the years, there have been several attempts to spread the “Swedish model” of popular education, i.e. study circles and folk high schools, to countries in other parts of the world. In this article, we analyze the large-scale project of establishing Folk Development Colleges (FDCs) in Tanzania in the 1970s and 1980s, by emphasizing the ways in which Swedish popular educators have described the FDC project. Theoretically, the article is based on a postcolonial framework, highlighting the continuing importance of the legacies of colonialism in today’s society. One of the main conclusions in the article is that in the process of “exporting” the idea of popular education to other parts of the world, there is an on-going formation of national selfimages in contrast to images of the Other, where there is a constant risk of reproducing ideas from a colonial past.

Folkbildning för förändring : Dilemman i politiskt mobiliserande didaktik
- 2013
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna bok är skriven av en grupp forskare, som på olika sätt studerat olika aspekter av folkbildning. I sitt arbete har var och en blivit förtrogen med de begrepp och företeelser, som vi här riktar ljuset på. Via ett anslag från Vetenskapsrådets Utbildningsvetenskapliga kommitté har vi kunnat samlas kring ett gemensamt tema, som vi valt att kalla mobiliseringsdidaktik. Begreppet är knappast etablerat, men vi har funnit att didaktikens frågor kan vara fruktbara även i ett sådant här sammanhang - den slags folkbildning, som siktar på samhällsförändring. Projektet utgör även ett försök att se didaktiska val som dilemman. Boken har tagit formen av en antologi, där varje författare svarar för de empiriska fall som de studerat och de begreppsliga resonemang, som präglat deras perspektiv. På så sätt uppstår en variation i tänkande inom ramen för det gemensamma: didaktik, design och dilemma.Författarna

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Popular education, a distinctive Swedish tradition of lifelong learning, has always concerned itself with the relationship between learning, power, and democracy in society, rather than having a purely individualistic and instrumental approach to learning for employability, which has dominated policy and practice. Through the themes of power and democracy, this book examines popular education's contribution to enhancing people's lives in communities. It reflects on the wider significance and explores the impact on the political culture of the state and the cultural politics of society within and outside Sweden, including the US, Japan, Canada, and Tanzania. As a comprehensive and unique collection, the book balances historical reflection, contemporary issues, and the international impact of popular education, combining theoretical analysis and empirical data. *** ...this book provides a wonderful introduction to the historical development and some of the current aspects and examples of Swedish popular education, both in Sweden and beyond....Its various chapters show the continued relevance of popular education approaches to addressing major educational and social issues and their diversity and rich theoretical grounding provide enough stimuli to engage educators and practitioners alike....a key resource in the worldwide struggles for social justice by demonstrating how education can be both (a) a tool for social change as well as for personal transformation and (b) how insights gained from others' actions and struggles can be used by people the world over. -- Tom Nesbit, Canadian Association for the Study of Adult Education, in the European Journal for Research on the Education and Learning of Adults, 2013

Study Circles in Sweden : An Overview with a Bibliography of International Literature
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This text aims to give an overview of the study circles as a tradition and state of the art at present time. The point of departure is primarily the Swedish context, even though there are some comments about study circles elsewhere. This focus is justified by the fact that although study circles do appear worldwide, their status in Sweden as a mass phenomenon is rather unique and has attracted attention from outside observers. Academic publications written in English about the Swedish study-circles do, however, exist, but only a few are recent. Drawing on results from empirical research done by Swedish researchers, as well as public statistics and evaluations, our ambition is to portray the study circles and their institutional context in Sweden.First, there is a discussion about definitions, pointing out the lack of an exact notion of the study circle, but also suggesting an approximate answer – a study circle grammar. In order to provide a deeper understanding of the realities, there are also some very concrete examples, with respect to content and process. The idea is to communicate a richer and more down-to-earth meaning.The same thought is applied to the second part, where participation and outcomes are presented. These are based on recent statistics, but also reports about the study circles from the participants’ point of view - their experiences and understandings.The administrative and economic support system is important for the operation of the study circles and consequently, it is described in a rather elaborate way in the third part. We think it will help readers to have some knowledge of this context for the Swedish study circles, which we think is different elsewhere.Finally there is a bibliography of literature on study circles in Sweden and internationally. The ambition of the bibliography is to capture as much as possible, written in languages that can be read by an international audience. A number of useful web addresses are also included in order to provide easy access to important resources. The bibliography will hopefully be a tool for those who want to learn more.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sverige har ett unikt system för vuxnas deltagande i arrangerat lärande inom ramen för kommunal vuxenutbildning, folkhögskola och studiecirklar. Dessa verksamheter står under ständig förändring i fråga om vem som deltar, hur de finansieras, vilket uppdrag de har och vilka pedagogiska ideal som råder.Lärandets mångfald ger en aktuell bild av olika sammanhang för vuxnas lärande med speciellt fokus på vuxenutbildning och folkbildning. Läs den också för att lära känna den forskning som idag finns om dessa områden. Ämnen är bland annat bokcirklarnas framväxt, framväxten av muslimska studieförbund och folkhögskolor, skönlitteraturens roll inom utbildning, politiska makthavares bildningsvägar, didaktiska perspektiv på undervisning av vuxna och yrkeslärares identiteter.Boken vänder sig till studerande vid lärarprogram, studie- och yrkesvägledarprogram, personalvetarprogram, kurser inom pedagogik, samt till yrkesverksamma lärare, folkbildare, studie- och yrkesvägledare, personalvetare och en intresserad allmänhet.
