- Policy on plagiarism has emerged as a powerful tool for universities to deal with a wide range of problems related to internationalisation and rapid IT developments. How do such policies conceptualise plagiarism? What kind of solutions do they promote? What consequences do they imply for higher education? Here, we scrutinise three policy documents aimed at preventing plagiarism in the Swedish context. Using a policy-as-discourse-approach and Bacchi’s (2009) analytical strategy What is the problem represented to be? (WPR), we suggest that policy on plagiarism not only places a huge and unfair responsibility for the reputation of higher education on the students. It simultaneously, and paradoxically, risks depriving them of learning important scholarly practices.

Leadership for teaching and learning: Exploring a department-level educational leadership role at a Swedish comprehensive university
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As excellence in teaching and learning, in combination with a focus on student performance rates, are guiding the demands placed on higher education institutions, modern universities are attributing strategic importance to leadership of teaching and learning. Previous studies on educational leadership have, nevertheless, identified significant challenges to such leadership due to lack of clear role descriptions, lack of recognition, and lack of access to professional development and support. Using empirical data from a Swedish comprehensive university, we explore the experiences of an appointed leadership role for teaching and learning, that is, the Education Leader, at the department level. Our findings show that a university-wide policy establishing the role and a support structure around it has resulted in a clearly visible and valued role across the university. Furthermore, Education Leaders experience being positioned at the heart of the department’s educational activities, performing hub-like work in relation to those they lead. However, some challenges related to the complexity of the department contexts are also identified.

Sweden's Burka Ban: Policy Proposals, Problematisations, and the Production of Swedishness
- 2019
-
Ingår i: NORA - Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0803-8740 .- 1502-394X. ; 27:4, s. 271-284
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Between February 2002 and November 2018, Swedish politicians from the Centre, Christian Democrat, Moderate, Liberal and Sweden Democrat parties proposed policies to ban clothing variously referred to as the “burka,” “full-covering veil,” “face veil” and “niqab” (Arabic for face veil) at least 38 times, six at the national level and thirty-two at the municipal. Research suggests that circa 100 women in Sweden wear a “burka”; clearly these policy proposals have little to do with the burka’s prevalence. What, then, do these policy proposals attempt to govern? In this text we adopt feminist political scientist Carol Bacchi’s “what is the problem represented to be?” approach to analyse Swedish bills to regulate the burka. These policy proposals, we contend, have more to do with conceptualizing Swedishness than addressing an existing “problem” of women who wear burka.

Reflecting on and Articulating Teaching Experiences: Academics Learning to Teach in Practice
- 2018
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Higher Education. - 1927-6044 .- 1927-6052. ; 7:6, s. 139-149

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Higher education teaching demands theoretical and practical knowledge. It goes without saying, a strong knowledge of one’s subject is essential. But while teaching principles are generally gleaned from short courses, it is one’s own teaching that offer the main ground for gaining practical teaching knowledge. To examine this claim we have conducted an interview-study in which Swedish business administration academics have described where they learned something about their teaching. An interpretative analysis led to six different lessons learned, ranging from the personal, through the pedagogical, to the interpersonal. We claim there are three necessary opportunities to turn the experience into an occasion for learning: reflection over experience, the opportunity to articulate one’s experience, and a forum for sharing; particularly experiences connected with risk-taking. We conclude that academics need opportunities to reflect on and articulate their learning experiences related to the practices of teaching, and to share and discuss them with colleagues.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many students in higher education experience different forms of psychological symptoms and stress. Although such experiences could be considered normal human reactions, they might lead to more severe mental health problems, and they might impact individual and communal learning negatively. This presentation describes an initiative at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, with the aim to help build and promote sustainable and accessible environments for student that promote not only learning but also mental health.
