Migrant Employment Integration and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- 2020

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Employment integration is a cornerstone of migrant integration into host society. Though many AI initiatives targeting migrants have been initiated, research is limited on the design, outcomes and effectiveness of such initiatives. Today, there is a lack of effective implementation protocols and opportunities to assess whether these technologies constitute successful intervention tools and actually contribute to migrant integration.This four-year interdisciplinary research projectseeks to gain a deeper understanding of thechallengesandopportunitiesthatartificialintelligence(AI)entailsforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegrationandworkplaceinclusion. We address the following research ques-tions:1. How is AI used by migrants, their co-workers and the actors involved in their employment integration process? 2. How does AI enhance migrant professional competences?and 3. What are pathways to success of AI interventions for integration and inclusion purposes?Acombination of qualitative and quantitative research methods (interviews, focus groups, shadowing and interactive workshops) is used. Insix work packages (WPs)we analyze and identify the challenges and opportunities thatAI entailforfacilitatingmigrantemploymentintegration. Apart from contributing to theorizing migrant integration and AI, we also aim at providing a robust evidence-base for ‘good’ policy-making, regulatory guidelines and administration of profession-oriented integration process.Finally, we want to contribute to better understanding of how AI can contribute to overcoming prejudice and discrimination, which, in turn, can lead to mutual learning and building sustainable, wel-coming and secure communities.

Besvärligt kunskapande i högskolepedagogik : Difficult knowledge production in higher education pedagogy

Ingår i: Högskolepedagogisk konferens, Göteborgs universitet 2023.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I detta samtal bjuder vi in till ett utbyte av erfarenheter och tankar om hur vi som pedagoger kan arbeta med kunskap som på ett mer grundläggande plan är utmanande för studenterna. Med utmanande menar vi i detta sammanhang inte att kunskapen är tekniskt svår eller komplex utan att den ger studenten skäl att ifrågasätta tidigare positioner. Ett ifrågasättande som direkt eller i förlängningen berör inte bara det ämne som är fokus för undervisningen utan studentens självbild, samhällssyn, ideologi mm. Vi talar om en typ av transformativ kunskap som på något plan är irreversibel (den enskilde studenten kan inte gå tillbaka till en position som förelåg kunskapandet) och vilken inte sällan kan ge upphov till ilska, irritation, och frustration hos studenter. Snarare än att få en ’lösning’ når studenten ett tillstånd av kunskapande som genererar nya frågor. Temat knyter an till det som Perkins benämnt ”troublesome learning” (Perkins 1999). Vi (Stendahl och Arvidsson) har båda från olika håll och med olika pedagogiska verktyg medvetet arbetet med besvärligt kunskapande i högskolepedagogiska situationer. Stendahl i sitt arbete med tröskelbegrepp (Meyer, Land 2003, 2005; Stendahl, Swedrup, Åberg 2021) och Arvidsson i sitt pedagogiska arbete i akademisk handledning med ’den analytiska situationen’ utifrån psykoanalytisk teori och praktik (Owler 1999, Arvidsson 2023). Vi initierar samtal om det pedagogiska värdet av att medvetet arbeta med pedagogik som kan ge upphov till fundamentala perspektivskiften. Referenser Arvidsson, M. 2023.

Pedagogy for the Psycho/Analytical Situation in PhD Supervision: A Framework for Practice
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Pedagogy in Higher Education at the University of Gothenburg.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter sets out a framework for what psychoanalysis can offer for PhD supervision pedagogy, focusing on the analytic situation. I suggest that the analytical situation, developed within the psychoanalytical field, is helpful for developing good pedagogical practices of PhD supervision. I explain what the analytical situation is and does, drawing on French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche. I expand on translation and transference-countertransference as well as more broadly the aim of (psycho)analysis. In conclusion, I relate the psychoanalytic situation to the pedagogy of the analytical situation in PhD supervision, with illustrations from my own PhD process. The aim is to guide those seeking to develop their pedagogical practices and capacities as PhD supervisors. For the PhD supervisee seeking to orient themselves within their project and processes, the aim is to offer tools for framing the PhD process towards meaningful ends (The main tool being: getting rid of a non-helpful/productive/boundary-breaking PhD supervisor).

- This essay traces my work in co-developing a pedagogical framework for PhD supervision together with Gregor Noll, as I worked pursuant to a doctoral degree in international law. It draws on French psychoanalytic scholar Jean Laplanche and argues that the notion and practice of transference in the psychoanalytical situation - as part of psychoanalytical theory and practice - may be helpful as a pedagogical tool for PhD supervision in international law and beyond.

Decision Making in Asylum Law and Machine Learning: Autoethnographic Lessons Learned on Data Wrangling and Human Discretion
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of International Law. - 0902-7351 .- 1571-8107. ; 92:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article avails an autoethnography of the authors’ attempt to construct a post hoc intervention machine learning (ML) system responsive to the problem of discrimination in asylum law decisions. In the article we revisit the conjunction of law as a slow hermeneutic, against the fast-paced pull of AI and commercial imperatives to ask whether a ML-driven post hoc intervention system such as the one set up in the research project, reduces the overall risk of discrimination emerging from human discretion in legal decision making on asylum. We conclude that a ML-driven ‘antidiscrimination machine’ will displace rather than reduce that overall risk. We warn that similar attempts at using ML as part of legal decision making, decision support, and post hoc interventions, in international law and beyond, may need to take seriously the risks of human discretion embedded in ML design and data selection.

Law and Disorder in the Postcolony? Law, Missionaries, and the Utopias of Pre-colonial to Present-day Kongo DRC
- 2022

Ingår i: Law and Society Association Annual Meeting 2022.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Our panel turns to history to understand challenges to law and order in the present; examining the present-day ‘failed state’ of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Drawing on unique archival material, centring on the activities of Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Svenska Missionskyrkan) in lower Congo, 1881–1961, we take on the well-established thesis that ‘disorder’ in the contemporary ‘postcolony’ flows from how the introduction of law and order was pursued during the pre-colonial and colonial era. In this panel Christian and Global North contributions towards the establishment of the Rule of Law, as well as the international legal interests and investments, in contemporary Congo DRC are examined through critical international legal, social-anthropological, and historical trajectories.

Ordering Human-Other relationships: International Humanitarian Law and Ecologies of Armed Conflicts in the Anthropocene
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Law and Anthropocentrism. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9780367858223 - 9781000892222 ; , s. 122-141
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter analyses the international humanitarian legal ordering of human and other relationships during armed conflict and disaster by looking at two examples, namely the ‘natural’ environment and human-scientific constructed AI-powered swarms of drones. Drawing on these examples, as well as post-anthropocentric and posthuman legal scholaship, we argue that International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has some potential in developing in a post-anthropocentric direction, specifically in reorienting its focus from armed conflicts to violent outbursts by making use of the Deleuze-Guattarian notion of ‘war-machines’. We argue that this will eable IHL to offer a better protection on a less anthropocentric and more inclusive and equal basis in a shared posthuman ecology. The chapter offers an overview of current legal regulations as well as a theoretical and practice-oriented outline for the development of IHL.

- This site communicates the findings and activities in our project. In our project we turn to history in order to better understand challenges to law and order in our present time; specifically, examining the present-day fragmented and ‘failed state’ of Congo (DRC), often described as lacking in terms of the Rule of Law and adequate legal institutions is re-examined in light of the rule of law activities pursued in the lower Congo by Swedish missionaries from the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden (Svenska Missionskyrkan), 1881-1961. Following the well-established thesis that ‘disorder’ in the contemporary ‘postcolony’ flows from how the introduction of law and order was pursued during the pre-colonial and colonial era, our project revisits the Swedish contribution to the establishment of the Rule of Law in contemporary DRC, in order to better understand legal fragmentation and pluralism was introduced in the pre-colonial and colonial era. We draw on unique archival material, as well as contemporary empirical data, with the aim to develop a substantiated holistic approach to legal fragmentation and state state-building initiatives in the contemporary DRC.

Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Gender and International Law
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Oxford Bibliographies in International Law. - Oxford : Oxford Universitty Press.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- ‘Gender’ as a specific topic of concern appeared gradually within international law and scholarship, initially by scholars drawing on feminist theories. A central concern in the scholarship is how gender relates to sex. For some scholars, gender is useful for distinguishing social constructions from biological sex. For others, this distinction is problematic as it conceals the way sex is also socially constructed. Reflecting these scholarly debates, the way gender is defined and relates to sex is not consistent in international legal instruments or scholarship. Another dividing question is how gender, sex, and ‘women’s situation’ relate. For some, gender means a focus on women. This conflation is questioned by others. The gender/woman question injects confusion and political force in international legal debates. More recently, gender identity has attracted attention, and while gender equality has long been a central topic of concern, states and scholars critical of what they consider ‘gender ideology’ in instruments such as the Yogyakarta Principles and the Istanbul Convention, have sought to advance ‘gender complementarity’ in its stead. For scholars committed to gender equality, ‘gender complementarity’ is conceived of as a backlash. These topics of concern do not reflect any specific theoretical or methodological approach and it is not possible to divide the theoretical and methodological approaches according to topic. Instead, the debates are pursued in a variety of ways: An early approach that remains significant seeks to identify structural biases in seemingly neutral or universal instruments. This can be contrasted to scholarship analyzing international instruments explicitly engaging with gender, the way international law partakes in forming gendered subjects, and processes of gender mainstreaming. The role of gender in gender based violence continues to be questioned. More recently, queer approaches have sought to question the normative in international law, and a theoretical focus on men and masculinity has emerged as a response to the focus on women in gender and international law debates. Aiming at granularity and ‘localizing’ gender, anthropological and ethnographic approaches contribute with narratives breaking with universalizing tendencies in international law. Similarly, intersectional, TWAIL and posthuman feminist debates approach gender as part of broader concerns, while some scholas have turned to history in order to rethink gendered aspects of international law. Natural science methods, including emerging technologies such as AI, are also used to analyze gender concerns. How gender is debated, analyzed, and questioned through different methodological and theoretical approaches demonstrate the political vibrancy of gender as a concept in international law.

Gendering Public and Private International Law: Transversal Legal Histories of the State, Market and Women’s Private Property Rights
- 2024
-
Ingår i: American Journal of International Law. - 0002-9300. ; 118, s. 12-17
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay takes on Karen Knop’s suggestion to engage private international law (PIL) as ‘a lost side of international law’ (IL) to promote new transversal and disciplinary insights on gender and international legal history. It joins a growing scholarship on the interface of public and private law as mutually constituting dynamics, reconsidering the relationship between the state and the market, imperium and dominium. Its’ focus is on the changing fortunes (literally) of women’s private property rights in the long nineteenth century – a period characterized by the divestment and reinstatement of such rights in national law for both married and unmarried women. Often considered a domestic law matter - and a matter of the home (oikos), the private domain, of dominum - both within legislative frameworks and the academic literature, the differences and frictions in national law regarding the regulation of private property for women were brought to the fore through cross-border transactions, relationships and disputes related to marriage, succession etc. Drawing on Knop’s work, we take the development of women’s property law rights through PIL during the 19th Century in - focusing on Nordic legal history. We ask: what are the mutually constituting dynamics between PIL and IL in this development? And how should we understand the gendered aspect of the private (oikos)/public (polis) divide in relations between dominium and imperium in these transversal legal histories of women’s property rights? Tracing the PIL aspects of gender and property rights during this era not only expands the historical feminist legal cartography and its primary vocabulary of public law, but seeks to uncover new transnational legal elements to the history of women’s property rights.
