Leader Normativity in Crisis Management : Tales From a School Fire
- 2020

Ingår i: Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy. - : Wiley. - 1944-4079. ; 11:2, s. 139-165

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines the handling of a school fire in a rural Swedish community and the role of the normalized narratives of leaders in crisis management. The article claims that leader normativity legitimizes certain positions and actions in a crisis management narrative and marginalizes others. The study uses theories on gender, boundary work and space to illuminate this claim. To explore such processes in narratives, we use feminist theory and critical management studies. The study shows that leader normativity creates gendered differences that result in both inequalities and the marginalization of any parts of crisis management that do not apply to leader normativity. The study shows that there is a strong norm of crisis management as an individualistic perspective that focuses on heroes and higher-level management as the people managing a crisis. Support for describing crisis management as a collective achievement and caring perspectives become marginalized.

Genus, risk och kris
- 2020. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Genus, risk och kris riktar fokus mot strukturer, normer och värderingar som kännetecknar det svenska samhällets syn på risk- och krishantering. Bokens olika kapitel ger exempel på och lyfter fram vikten av att kritiskt granska hur maktordningar arbetats in i processer av risk- och krishantering i nutida såväl som historisk kontext. Därtill ges förslag på teoretisk och metodologisk utveckling av forskning och praktik avseende genus och dess multipla maktordningarför risker och kriser.Risker och kriser drabbar samhället återkommande, i olika form ochmed olika konsekvenser. Arbetet med riskanalyser, beredskap och krishantering har traditionellt associerats med män och maskulinitet medan sårbarhet och utsatthet setts i förhållande till kvinnor. Författarna ger exempel på och lyfter fram hur maktordningar arbetas in i processer av risk- och krishantering.'Bland de områden som diskuteras utifrån empiriska exempel finns hemberedskap, arbetet med samhällets risker och sårbarhet, hälsorisker samt särskilda krishändelser, som den stora skogsbranden iVästmanland 2014 och den så kallade flyktingkrisen.I bokens teoriutvecklande kapitel diskuteras intersektionell riskteori samt relationen mellan maskuliniteter och klimatkrisen. Denna variation ger ett brett användningsområde i såväl teoretiska kurser som i tillämpad utbildning.Boken vänder sig till studenter på universitet och högskolor i samhällsvetenskapliga och naturvetenskapliga ämnen med inslag av frågor som rör risker och krishändelser samt yrkesverksamma inom risk- och krishantering.

Gender as headline and subtext : Problematizing the gender perspective in an occupational health project.
- 2014
-
Ingår i: Vulnerable Groups & Inclusion. - : Informa UK Limited. - 2000-8023. ; 5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The focus of this article is on how a “gender perspective” becomes lifted to the headlines as a solution to an organizational problem. The purpose of this article is to problematize how a gender perspective was employed in the everyday practices of an occupational health project in a Swedish municipality. The project’s stated aim was to construct and implement a new model for occupational health, targeting the municipality’s employees, and gender equality was seen as one means of reducing sick leave among the staff. Our focus was the participants’ perceptions of their participation and their reflections on the content and practices of the program. The information was gathered from focus-group interviews with participants in a management training program (MTP) and a rehabilitation program (RP) and from documents produced within the project. Drawing from feminist writings on gender subtexts defined as a set of concealed power based processes (re)producing gender distinctions in organizations, we have explored how power structures are created based on socially constructed differences. Our results demonstrate how gender knowledge could reproduce inequality and hierarchical distinctions between people in different positions in working life.

A Fantasy of the "Ambitious Young Girl" as Flexible Knowledge-worker Subject
- 2012
-
Ingår i: NORA. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0803-8740 .- 1502-394X. ; 20:4, s. 249-265

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the paradoxes of the so-called flexible work environments of late capitalism is that, at the same time as tribute is paid to organizational and work-force flexibility in terms of increased empowerment and freedom for workers to make their own decisions, there is also a strong emphasis on controlling their work. These ways of governing and controlling work have been problematized within critical organizational studies and analysed and conceptualized as audit regimes and audit cultures. Furthermore, feminist research highlights how the hegemonization of flexible work ideologies may result in declining health for employees and increased gender inequalities in the labour market.This article contributes to these critical strands of research by examining some of the gendered aspects of the ideological forces that work to install everyday work practices of "flexible subjects". The analysis is done by studying the means of knowledge-work fantasies, and especially the ideological forces behind the fantasy of the "ambitious young girl".I draw on feminist critiques of neo-liberalism and neo-liberal practices and, more specifically, theories of the professional investment that is supposedly common in neo-liberal discourses. The source material that laid the foundations for this article was gathered from within a more extensive ethnographic study where I followed the relocation of a knowledge-intensive civil service agency from the capital of Sweden to a smaller town northwest of the capital.The analysis shows that, in the process of moving work-place, employees became invested in a fantasy of "ambitious girls", a fantasy that entailed certain expectations of flexible and mouldable civil service workers in neo-liberal times.

Fantasi som diskursteoretiskt begrepp och etnologiskt blickfång
- 2012

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reviews the possibilities for utilizing the concept of fantasy in studies combining discourse theory and ethnology. It considers the Lacanian concept of fantasy that has been worked into socioeconomic and cultural analysis by Jason Glynos, David Howarth and Joan Wallach Scott. The author suggests that the concept of fantasy could make analytical contributions for answering questions of why subjects get caught up in, and are gripped by, norms and social rules that they might not agree with. It could also contribute with a theoriza tion of the critical practices of creating counternarratives and revealing contingencies.

Gender and Struggles for Equality in Mining Resistance Movements: Performing Critique against Neoliberal Capitalism in Sweden and Greece
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Social Inclusion. - : Cogitatio. - 2183-2803. ; 6:4, s. 25-35
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores the intersections of gender and centre–periphery relations and calls for theoretical and political involvement in gendered struggles against colonial and capitalist forces across different national contexts. The article raises questions about the possibility of resisting inequality and exploitation arising from capitalist expansion and extraction of natural resources in Sweden and Greece, outside of urban contexts. It does so by highlighting women’s role in protest movements in peripheral places and questioning power relations between centre and periphery. The article also argues that making visible women’s struggles and contributions to protest movements brings about vital knowledge for realizing democratic worlds that do not thrive on the destruction of natural resources and the institutionalization of inequalities.

”Gruvboom kallade de det” : Gruvkritik och kamp för alternativa samhällen
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Samisk kamp. - Umeå : Bokförlaget h:ström - Text & Kultur. - 9789173272315
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Kapitlet handlar om att kritik av gruvexploatering sätter fingret på och bråkar med maktordningar som skapa(t)s och gjorts möjliga genom koloniala och patriarkala historier. Kapitlet tar som utgångspunkt att kritik mot att prospektera för och exploatera nya gruvor är framåtsyftande då den väcker diskussioner om framtiden och visioner om hur samhällen kan se ut. Sådana diskussioner är grundläggande för att fylla begrepp som hållbarhet och demokrati med meningsfullt innehåll. En utgångspunkt för detta kapitel är att lyssna på gruvkritiska berättelser som en viktig källa till kunskap om människors liv och villkor.
