Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article presents a discourse analysis of a child care drama. The purpose is to focus upon paradoxically discourses of social work that include different time orders. Social work seems to be carried out according to a linear time order implicitly assuming improvement over time. At the same time the social worker is supposed to assist the individual according to their current subjective needs within a time order referred to as the time of the mindful body. It is of great significance to critically reflect upon the power of these discourses that set the framework of social work thus creating ethical dilemmas.

Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The aim of this article is to emphasize and exemplify how normative meanings of gender still are produced and reproduced within the frame of culturally active gender discourses. By a discoursanalytic reading of a text from a Swedish book being used in education as well as in concrete social work with addicts, we exemplify the discourses we see working. In this reading we are looking for what meanings of gender that are made possible and taken for granted in the text, how these discourses are done and made possible through the history, and finally there roll and possible effects in the specific context. By this reading we find discourses differentiating between men/masculine and women/feminine, and sexualising and naturalising (within a biological context) women in an historical traditional way. These are all meanings of gender within a Swedish cultural heritage that are easily reproduced when the meaning of gender is "taken for granted". We therefore still see it as an important task for gender research to problemazing this cultural heritage made "natural" and how these meanings of gender have been and still are being made, to open up for discussing changes.

En kartläggning av självhjälpsgrupper för personer med smärta : Presented at Past, Present, Future conference 2007-05-14--16, Umeå
- 2007
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- I artikeln redovisas en genomförd kartläggning av självhjälpsgrupper i Sverige för personer med smärta. Kartläggningen visar att självhjälpsgrupper finns inom ett brett spektrum av huvudmän, samt att om verksamheten sker inom det offentliga sammanhanget har den en högre grad av professionellt ledarskap, fler könsblandade grupper samt att ordet smärta mer sällan uttalas i gruppernas namn, vilket vi menar kan ses som en icke-legitimering av smärta som sjukdomsorsak. Sker verksamheten inom frivilliga organisationer och/eller studieförbund finns en högre andel självstyrda grupper och grupper med cirkelledare, grupperna uppges oftare bestå av enbart kvinnor samt att gruppernas namn anger mer tydligt att de inriktar sig på smärta. Slående är den överrepresentation av kvinnor som finns inom självhjälpsgrupper för personer med smärta, oavsett huvudman.

Self-help groups for women with pain : A research review with a gender perspective
- 2005
-
In: International Journal of Self Help & Self Care. - : Baywood Publishing Company, Inc.. - 1091-2851 .- 1541-4450. ; 3:1/2, s. 133-148
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is the aim of this review to provide a survey of research on Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in health care with a special focus on SHGs for women with chronic muscular pain. The aim is not only to describe this field of research, but also to consider how this research relates to gender research as such. A variety of themes are examined: history, external factors that influence SHGs, internal aspects of SHGs, and gender research on SHGs. It was found that the gender perspective was relatively neglected. Our suggestion for further research notes that group members can produce new ways to manage their lives with the help of the interaction/exchange in the SHGs, regarding gender construction, knowledge, legitimacy and adaptation or transformation, and the position of activities in SHGs among societal norms and attitudes.
