Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- (Abstract in German:) Die Studie befasst sich mit der Privatisierung von Wohnungen in Lusaka, Zambia, und legt die Mechanismen offen, die dabei die Frauen benachteiligen. Sie verfolgt die Abläufe, mit denen diese Art von “Liberalisierung” verbunden sind, besonders die Mechanismen, die Frauen berücksichtigt oder ausgrenzt. Dabei wird deutlich, wie der daraus entstehende Wohnungsmarkt zwar einerseits auch Frauen die Möglichkeit eröffnet, Grund- und Immobilieneigentum zu erwerben, während andererseits die Mehrzahl der Frauen davon gerade ausgeschlossen wird. Der Konflikt der Geschlechter wurde hinter der Diskussion über das “Familienhaus” verborgen. Die Autorin zieht daraus den Schluss, dass gerade in der Debatte um Frauengleichstellung, die Frage des Rechts auf Eigentum und, insbersondere, Wohnung ins Zentrum gestellt werden sollte.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Work for equal opportunities and a gender balance among students and university staff at all levels and the work for the production and dissemination of knowledge about gender are two different but related tasks. Two ways of supporting knowledge production are tested and discussed in Sweden, one is to build a discipline of gender studies and the other is the mainstreaming of a gender perspective in teaching and research of all disciplines. In this presentation I start by looking at the gender balance: the number of women and men at various levels from students to professors, and I continue to look at what the government has done to promote equal opportunities. The main points of resistance are identified, and debates about the mechanisms of subtle discrimination are reviewed. Secondly, I scrutinize the work of mainstreaming a gender perspective in teaching and research, and the paths taken towards a discipline of gender research. Finally, I mention some recent and contradictory tendencies, and conclude that progress has been made but it is slow and partial. Inequalities continue to be reproduced within the university system. The small achievements have to be defended and re-captured again and again.

Multi-habitation : urban housing and everyday life in Chitungwiza, Zimbabwe
- 2003
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is a study of everyday life and the quality of living in a poor neighbourhood of Chitungwiza, an independent Zimbabwean town about thirty kilometres south of Harare city centre. In the official view, this is a home-ownership neighbourhood. However, there are usually many families living in multi-habitation on each property, and lodgers outnumber owners. Within a restricted area people have to negotiate over, and adapt their use of space. Their ability to do so differs, depending on whether they are owners, tenants or lodgers, women or men, children, adults or elderly, and whether they are gainfully employed or not. The outcome of these negotiations and adaptations decisively affects their feeling of being at home in the house and the neighbourhood. The histories told by the people who are given voice in this report point to housing as highly significant in their coping with poverty, and to multi-habitation as affecting their agency as urban citizens.

Our common estate : Privatization of council housing in Lusaka, Zambia
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A study of how public housing in Lusaka was transferred into private ownership was conducted with the aim of revealing its effects with respect to class and gender, the housing stock, governance and democracy. At the time of the fieldwork in January 1999 and in January 2000, it was too early to measure such impact in quantitative terms; the process was still ongoing and title deeds were not issued. The aim was to gain an understanding of the mechanisms in the process, and of people ’s experiences and understanding of the it by using qualitative methods, involving interviews with key persons and residents, and analysis of official documents and articles in newspapers. This paper starts with a short historic review of what is called the colonial and post-colonial housing systems, thereby providing an understanding of the housing situation at the time of the privatisation. The privatisation is then analysed as a component in a policy to transform the housing system into a market housing system. The paper puts the focus on the relation between central policy formulation and local implementation.
