Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- My contribution to the proposed panel is focusing on the potential of using participatory action research to contribute to the development of local journalism both locally but also in various policy contexts. By making visible and adress what agenda, all involved parties is driving fo their own purpose, is it then possible to define a common ground to develop, in order to achieve substantial changes. Does this make it possible to achieve more sustainable interventions on several levels i.e in a local working group, a community, an organization or at a public policy agency level? These different “power levels” are normally regarded as separated but can they also be regarded as a collaborative system? I propose that this issue need to be discussed and problematized in relation to the question on sustainability of action research. Does intervention always have to be located in a clearly delineated action research project or are there also possibilities to discuss "systemic change” and how different levels of interferences interact with one another? Based on a distinction between a pragmatic and a critical orientation in action research, which is presented in an article by Johansson & Lindhult (2008) is my aim also to initiate a discussion on whether a development- and action-oriented project design contribute to development and change of local journalism on more than one level - but also what ethical implications this normative stance may bring. This will be discussed in relation to findings within a Swedish research and development project, the Regpress Project II, addressing local journalism innovation. Local journalism in general is facing economic difficulties such as rapid declines in revenues. However in some areas of Sweden local journalism in traditional sense is still strong and forming a dynamic local news ecosystem, where local media seem to have found a way to balance their role as trust-anchor during rapid societal changes.

- The local press enjoyed remarkable levels of public trust throughout the 20th century, but no longer. The Regpress 2 - Project presented in this session deepens knowledge about the environment in which the regional press operates. It also provides applied research for the regional press, which faces the challenge of becoming leaner and more competitive while maintaining its presupposed role as a reliable “trust anchor.“ What is the relationship between regional media and local citizens? What are the expectations of the press to be part of community life? How to remain relevant and make it happen with limited resources? Find out what answers the Regpress 2 -project has to these questions and more.

Hur förklarar man ett flummigt begrepp? : Didaktiska val vid konceptualisering avöppna begrepp i yrkeslärarutbildningen

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In recent times, the central concept of “a good judgment" or “professional judgement” has once again been on the back burner in the general debate about the transformation of work practice life. Not least in relation to renewed discussions of the role of artificial intelligence ( AI) asking once again; who is really the smartest one – the humans or the machine? Jonna Bornemark talked about the forgotten “human judgement” in her celebrated speech before the opening of the Swedish Riksdag in 2019, where she was questioning the lack of trust in the official's personal judgement skills. Gradually, the concept of “professional judgment” has been abstracted, discussed, and redefined, but it remains undefined and open for individual interpretation. However, the ability of making swift and informed decisions and choices in a stressful and narrow situation has always been relevant in most of the professions that vocational teaching is about. Concepts are also essential in the understanding of the practical knowledge as well as in the knowledge-theoretical base of the professional knowledge also including silenced or tacit knowledge.Hargreaves and Fullan (2013) divide professional knowledge in three different dimensions of professional capital, i.e. human capital, social capital, and decision-making capital. All these parts are essential for a work practice of good quality. These could also be seen as vital parts of developing a “good judgment” as well as qualitative teaching. These dimensions are also important for analyses of didactic choices in a teaching- and learning situation about conceptualization of your own, embedded, and silent professional knowledge.Bornemark (2020) adds new aspects to the concept of judgment by talking about a “pactive judgment “and its need of space and agency in addition to dimensions of power. This new discussion based on a working life that is undergoing rapid transformation makes it interesting to empirically examine how it is used in the social discourse today; "if" and if so "how" the concept of “professional judgement” is used or linked to in the practices of vocational teachers didactics and in which contexts. It is not an easy concept to introduce and make understandable in the physical and virtual spaces where learning takes place today, which is why it would be interesting to perform a deep dive in this area.This abstract draws upon an ongoing pilot study, empirically based on ethnographic interviews and observations and constructive grounded theory. My presentation will focus on didactic choices and strategies concerning understanding of non-specific concepts and chosen by the teachers to create a god learning situation for their students. I will also give a brief overview of concept development within the subject area of work practice and technology and discuss the research connection of several central concepts within this research area which is of relevance for the vocational teacher program activities. The questions I would like to explore further in my study, are ongoing work, based on a few empirical examples, therefore the over-arching research question still is highly tentative and open for re-configuration. • What conversation strategies, models, examples and or other forms of representation does the vocational teacher generally use in his teaching around elastic, practical concepts of knowledge, and how is a learning interaction stimulated and created in situ?• In which didactic contexts do vocational teachers talk about terms like “judgment “and “tacit knowledge” and how these links to a specific profession and a developed professional knowledge?• What different semiotic, multimodal resources such as writing, speech, gestures, or other illustrative instructions are used to introduce the concept of judgment in these contexts?• How are conceptual discussions like these handled within, for example, adult education, which has an increasingly large element of foreign-born students?• In what way can these activities be supported and developed?

Repairment of communication deficit issues in the society through norm creative municipal communication
- 2021

Ingår i: Presented at IFIP Technical Committee Working Group on Gender, Diversity, and ICT at Linköping University 20210416.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Written general information, and communication through e-services from municipalities and other authorities can be difficult to understand and use for people with a foreign mother tongue. Recieving municipal information is not simply an issue of being "informed" for newly arrived individuals, it is also an essential part of conquering a new identity and finding out how to relate to a new cultural framework of a new society. Being informed and welcomed as a citizen of a new country is also the first step in deepening a process of belonging and an offer of opportunities for increased personal freedom of action.The easy-to-read format has become the standard means to adapt and simplify official texts for the groups which are regarded difficult to reach. However, this format is originally designed for people with intellectual disabilities and does not take into account the varying needs of other target groups including for example immigrants. A citizen survey especially targeting people with a foreign first language, showed that 50-60% of the population were not able to fully understand the municipal information. Experiences from a collaborative project between a big municipality, an accessibility company and a university, shows the challenges when it comes to developing a norm creative model in order to repair what turned out to be a highly complex societal problem, rather than finding a universal communication style.

Who/What/Where Is The Local “Us”? : The reciprocation between proximity, feelings of closeness and shared interests in relation with the local press.
- 2021

Ingår i: Community Journalism Journal. - Stephenville : Texas Center For Community Journalism. ; 9:1

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- While today’s press is undergoing change, intersecting regions, it is important not to overlook the readers – who is the local “us”? This paper investigates how readers generate the relational sense of an “us” in a locality by engaging with the press. The study offers a framework built around three key dynamic concepts: proximity, feelings of closeness, and shared interests – which readers form clusters around, thereby reinforcing the notion of an “us.” Furthermore, local journalists strengthen the notion of an “us” by addressing the readers as a single collective with common features.
