Att göra det materiella virtuellt : Subjektifiering, moral och motstånd i konstruktionen av den riskfyllda mathållningen
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här avhandlingen syftar till att bidra till förståelsen av hur risk konstrueras och förändras i diskussioner om mathållning på nätforum och vilka subjektspositioner som görs möjliga då risk uttrycks i relation till klass och kön. Mat har kommit att få stor uppmärksamhet i samhällsdiskussionen, men i det moderna samhället är det inte bristen på mat som står i fokus, utan snarare de val människor måste göra relaterade till mat. Vad vi äter har kommit att bli en signal om vem vi är och vem vi vill vara, men diskussioner kring mat handlar också om vad som betraktas som riskfyllt eller inte. Därtill har mat länge använts för att göra distinktioner mellan människor baserat på maktstrukturer som klass och kön. Avhandlingen är inspirerad av en feministisk poststrukturalistisk ansats vilken används för att undersöka hur maktrelationer och subjektifieringsprocesser uttrycks i konversationer på nätbaserade diskussionsforum.Genom att ta avstamp i den kritiska riskforskningen samt i genusvetenskaplig forskning visar avhandlingen hur risk konstrueras genom riskperformativ. Riskperformativ, uttryckta i det virtuella rummet, medför att olika ”sanningar” konstrueras runt mathållningar vilket får konsekvenser får vilka subjektspositioner som möjliggörs. Genom riskperformativen konstruerats olika förväntningar om vad som kan och bör sägas för att konstituera sig som ett ansvarsfullt och moraliskt subjekt. Därigenom görs olika riskpositioner, det vill säga klass- och könskodade subjektspositioner som konstitueras i relation till riskkonstruktioner, tillgängliga. Analysen visar också hur utrymme för betydelseförskjutningar och motstånd mot riskkonstruktioner skapas i diskussionerna, vilket sker genom dels bekännelsen som teknik och dels genom en teknik som här kallas en responsibiliserad paternalism varigenom det individualiserade ansvaret för upprätthållandet av självreglering inför risk uttrycks i samverkan med kollektivt upprätthållna klass- och könsnormer. I avhandlingen analyseras därigenom hur kön och klass görs i samverkan med riskkonstruktioner på sätt där dessa förstärker varandra.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: As the SARS-CoV-2 virus created a global pandemic and rapidly became an imminent threat to the health and lives of people worldwide, the need for a vaccine and its quick distribution among the population was evident. Due to the urgency, and on the back of international collaboration, vaccines were developed rapidly. However, vaccination rollouts showed different success rates in different countries and some also led to increased vaccine hesitancy. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the role of information sharing and context sensitivity in various vaccination programs throughout the initial COVID-19 vaccination rollout in different countries. Moreover, we aimed to identify factors in national vaccination programs related to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, safety, and effectiveness. Toward this end, multidisciplinary and multinational opinions from members of the Navigating Knowledge Landscape (NKL) network were analyzed. Methods: From May to July 2021, 25 completed questionnaires from 27 NKL network members were collected. These contributors were from 17 different countries. The responses reflected the contributors' subjective viewpoints on the status and details of the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in their countries. Contributors were asked to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (ie, SWOT) of the respective vaccination programs. The responses were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, followed by frequency analysis of identified themes according to the represented countries. Results: The perspectives of NKL network members showed a link between organizational elements of the vaccination rollout and the accompanying societal response, both of which were related to strengths and weaknesses of the process. External sociocultural variables, improved public communication around vaccination -related issues, ethical controversies, and the spread of disinformation were the dominant themes related to opportunities and challenges. In the SWOT 2x2 matrix, Availability and Barriers emerged as internal categories, whereas Transparent communication and promotion and Societal divide emerged as key external categories. Conclusions: Inventory of themes and categories inspired by elements of the SWOT framework provides an informative multidisciplinary perspective for effective implementation of public health strategies in the battle against COVID-19 or any future pandemics of a similar nature.

The collection of narratives on strategies, ethics and public response of COVID-19 national vaccination process written by members of scholarly association Navigating Knowledge Landscapes Network
- 2022
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The data collected in this dataset are narratives exploring public policies, attitudes, individual behaviors, and the collective experiences of the involved communities regarding vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. The narratives were written by the members of the interdisciplinary research network Navigating Knowledge Landscapes (NKL; http://knowledge-landscapes.hiim.hr/). The members of the network are scholars belonging to different research disciplines and the aim of the network is to explore and discuss the individual aspects of citizens’ navigation of (new) knowledge in the digital society. An invitation to participate in this study was sent to members of the network on May 5, 2021. First responses were received on May 13, 2021, while the last response (including updated versions) was received on July 21, 2021. In total, 25 contributions were received from 27 scholars representing 17 countries (some scholars co-authored their contributions). Each of them described strategies, ethics, and public response of COVID-19 national vaccination process in their country.

Knowledge versus Education in the Margins : An Indigenous and Feminist Critique of Education
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Education Sciences. - : MDPI. - 2227-7102. ; 11:10
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article highlights the perceptions and expectations of knowledge that many people, including educators and policy makers, take for granted. Our focus of understanding is Indigenous studies and gender studies. Our aim is to show how modern education undermines these fields of studies. We use an autoethnographic method, reflecting more than 75 years as pupils/students and more than 90 years as educators. We have carefully chosen narratives of exposure to knowledge outside the educational system, as well as narratives of limitations posed upon us by the educational system. This narrative approach makes it possible for us to investigate and discuss our grief about areas of knowledge that society cries for, but the educational system continuously finds ways to resist. Our conclusion is that crucial knowledge is located outside the educational system, where individuals, groups, and communities cherish, protect, and guard knowledge that the educational system marginalises or excludes. As this knowledge is fundamental for life, our message is that the educational system needs to re-evaluate its strategies to stay relevant.

Tourism as a resouce-based industry : based on the work of Sondre Svalastog
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Tourism as a Resource-based Industry presents the conceptual framework of the Norwegian economic geographer Sondre Svalastog and functions as a practical tool for analyzing and identifying resources when working towards a more sustainable tourism industry.Tourism resources and their sustainability are analysed through the lens of a multidisciplinary approach which includes social, economic, cultural and natural dimensions. Contextual awareness is achieved by combining research-based knowledge with local know-how and information on local conditions. The book facilitates a way forward that examines both productivity and sustainability. The usefulness and value of Svalastog's conceptual work is demonstrated by a selection of new case studies by experts in the field, from different countries including Sweden, Norway, Slovenia, and the UK.This book:- Identifies local conditions and resources, climate change concerns, different types of tourists and a variety of challenges in high-cost and low-cost countries.- Considers how best to maximise potential and production, ensuring that both the host community and tourist benefits.- Provides a wide-ranging selection of case studies covering topics such as urban heritage, national parks, niche tourism and location-specific tourism products.- Presents ideas on how to secure sound planning within the industry, using conceptual and methodological tools.Tourism researchers and students will find this book helpful for understanding the development of tourism and how it can contribute to the UN Agenda 2030 which reflects the urgency for change, to secure cultural and natural resources, health and social resilience, and the stability of a socially constructed economy. Thus, tourism research needs to include a constant review and if required, renewal of processes that manage how society, culture and natural resources are used to achieve a balanced sustainable tourism process.
