In: Energy, Sustainability and Society. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 2192-0567. ; 11:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Energy communities are emphasized by the EU as important for developing sustainable energy systems that include and engage many people. While many renewables are highly compatible with a more decentralized energy system, research indicates that participation in 'desirable' energy activities and energy decision-making is influenced by social and economic factors, including gender, economic status and home ownership. The overall aim of this article is to contribute to this line of inquiry by exploring how and under which conditions energy communities allow for broader participation in the energy system. This article examines how gender, as a more specific condition, influences the extent to which parties can or cannot engage with collective solar ownership models by means of a qualitative study of 11 solar energy communities and one housing association in Sweden.Results: The study revealed that despite the relative potential for inclusion that they hold, energy communities can raise justice concerns in terms of inequities concerning access, capacity, and opportunity to engage in decision-making.Conclusions: While solely focusing on gender offers a limited view of the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion in renewable energy projects, it is our position that integrating it into the analysis will provide insights into possible measures to remedy limitations and accelerate the renewable energy transition.

Breaking the silence : Voicing teachers’ exposure to identity-based exclusionary processes at workplace
- 2023
-
In: The 1st work science meeting. - : Malmö universitet. - 9789178774302 ; , s. 4-5
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The study explores thirty compulsory schoolteachers’ experiences of exposure to exclusionary behaviour and comments by fellow colleagues, students, or their legal guardians at the workplace. Using analytic terms exclusionary processes and intersectionality, and by interviewing teachers who have experienced exclusion due to norms concerning gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and religion, I will answer following research questions: How do teachers experience exclusion and how does it affect them? What makes exclusion at workplace possible and how can one act on it? Of particular interest is subtle exclusion, as it is hard to detect and has been neglected be professionals and Swedish researchers, despite the evidence of high rate of occurrence and negative psychological, social, and professional consequences. Theoretical inspiration comes from research on intersectionality and microaggressions in the workplace. The study is based on interviews with teachers, who have volunteered to talk about their own experiences of exclusionary processes. The interviewees, working in different educational settings, define, describe, and are asked to problematize and contextualize exclusionary processes that affect them. The study shows that the interviewees are subjected to exclusionary processes because they do not occupy normative position in the local context. Gender-based exclusionary processes are often interdependent of several identity-based power differentials that may or may not operate simultaneously (for example age, gender, ethnicity and educational background or whiteness norms, religion, and gender may intersect each other, reinforcing or weakening different power axes). Additionally, the interviewed teachers express that there is a lack of institutional support for change, highlighting the importance of developing analytical tools to understand and eventually tackle subtle exercises of exclusionary power. Nowhere in the analyzed empirical material has there been talk of attempts at collective action where the teachers join or themselves organize social movements and act collectively, even though, according to Bonilla-Silva (2018), these forms of resistance make the largest impact in terms of changing social structures of exclusion. The lack of collective action and institutional support highlights the need for a paradigm shift.

"När han är arg är han turkisk". Identitetsskapande i Lin Hallbergs kompisbokstrilogi
- 2008
-
In: EDUCARE. - : Malmö högskola, Lärarutbildningen. - 1653-1868 .- 2004-5190. ; 4:1, s. 7-25
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- With a background in current theories of identification and identifying processes, our aim is to study how ideologies of identity interpellate children in narrative texts such as Lin Hallberg’s trilogy of Kompisboken, Bästisboken and Svikarboken. We study how the texts offer, mirror and perform various identities in their characterization of children and adults in a multicultural context. The issue is how the different characters are created through chains of articulation, of equivalence and difference, of properties, actions and performances. The four main child characters are construed around two dyads – male and female, native and foreign – and as well as the minor characters – parents and teachers – they display subject positions which are restricted and basically locked in a normative matrix. Thus, these texts do not afford children alternative identity constructions or resistance to stereotypical identities of gender or ethnicity.

Temporal Racism and the Invisibilization of Work : or Why Some Can Eat Ice Cream with their Kids While Others Cannot
- 2024
-
In: Nordic Journal of Migration Research. - Helsinki : Helsinki University Press. - 1799-649X. ; 4:4, s. 1-15
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Through the concepts of temporal racism and racial capitalism, this articleexplores how time is racialized in Swedish unemployment projects, shapinga racialized and gendered division of labor. The article identifies three formsof temporal racism practices: temporal racism through the invisibilization ofwork, through waiting, and through wasting. I argue that these practices oftemporal racism create diverse forms of labor and are therefore importantfactors in the production and reproduction of racial capitalism. Temporalracism deprives those defined as ‘foreign-born unemployed women’ of timefor joy, pleasure, community, and family; instead, it ensures that their time isused to transform them into racialized workers, moving between precariousemployment and surplus populations.

Before the killing: Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective, part I
- 2021
-
In: Journal of Gender-Based Violence. - : Policy Press. - 2398-6808 .- 2398-6816. ; 5:1, s. 59-74
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper puts intimate partner homicide (IPH) into a process perspective, and describes the situational precursors that constitute the build-up, i.e. the first stage of the IPH process that precedes the deed. Fifty court files, from cases involving 40 male and 10 female perpetrators, underwent thematic analysis. Our findings indicate that the build-up phase of an IPH is complex and encompasses several different features, of which some are clearly gendered. The results point to an escalation during the build-up: of possessiveness and violent behaviour in male-to-female cases, of alcohol/drug abuse, of mental health problems and/or of fears for the future, often connected to separation. Concurrent with previous research we found that women often kill in the context of their own victimisation. However, also other situations and motives protruded as pertinent. The practical implications of these findings are that practitioners should be particularly attentive to escalation of known risk factors, especially male possessiveness, and be aware that (the victim wanting) a separation may initiate escalation with lethal consequences.

Marginalized Masculinities and Exclusion in the New Low-Skill Service Sector in Sweden
- 2017
-
In: Marginalized Masculinities. - Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2017. | Series: Routledge research in gender and society ; 57 : Routledge. - 9780415347570 ; , s. 67-82
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter analyses low-skill service jobs in Sweden from a gender perspective. It then examines marginalization of masculinity by studying how the transformation from an industrial economy to a service- and knowledge-based economy has changed the labour market. Masculine work has been socially constructed as being dangerous, hard, dirty and sweaty, all of which has created a strong working identity. Low-skill service jobs include lower wages and more insecure employment contracts than the manual, industrial work that was available previously; however, it is often the only employment available for both men and for women. Dual labour market theory describes the labour market as dual and segmented. To analyse the gendered labour market from this theoretical perspective gives valuable contribution to understanding the polarized service sector. The data from Statistics Sweden show that male participation in high-touch jobs has actually increased in the country, both in absolute terms and in relation to the increase with its female counterpart.

Intersektionalitet, förtryck och motstånd : Utbildares erfarenheter av mikroaggressioner i utbildningsinstitutioner
- 2022
-
In: Plats för vem?. - Lund : Nordic Academic Press. - 9789189361317 ; , s. 197-221
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Rapporter, utredningar och forskning vittnar om förekomsten av diskriminering, trakasserier och hatbrott, marginalisering och stereotypisering i det svenska arbetslivet. Med några få undantag finns det dock förvånansvärt lite forskning om erfarenheter av intersektionella, subtila och vardagliga förtryckande maktutövningar i utbildningsinstitutioner och på arbetsplatser, hur dessa exkluderande maktutövningar påverkar de utsatta och hur de uttrycker sitt motstånd för att förändra sin arbetssituation. I en tid när Sverige har lärarbrist och skolor behöver minska risker för att verksamma lärare byter yrkesbanan är det viktigt att synliggöra personliga erfarenheter av subtilt förtryck i dagligt arbete (t.ex. i möten med vårdnadshavare, kollegor eller elever) liksom strategier för motstånd. Med ökade kunskap blir det möjligt att förbättra förutsättningarna för utveckling av inkluderande arbetsmiljöer och preventionsarbete.Att den svenska forskningen om vuxna individers subjektiva reflektioner över erfarenheter av maktutövning som på olika sätt skapar exkludering och marginalisering på arbetsplatser är begränsad kan troligen förklara varför det teoretiska och analytiska redskapet mikroaggression inte används mer i Sverige, trots perspektivets ökade internationella genomslag. Eftersom studier av individers erfarenheter av mikroaggressioner och liknande maktutövningar ofta har undersökt en maktordning i taget är detta kapitels syfte att introducera hur teorier om mikroaggressioner och intersektionalitet kan berika varandra för att möjliggöra analyser av erfarenheter av subtila exkluderande maktutövningar i svenska utbildningsinstitutioner (högskola, vuxenutbildning, och grundskola), och för att visa på individernas motstånd. Genom att synliggöra de intervjuade utbildarnas (ett samlingsbegrepp för grundskolelärare, lärare inom vuxenutbildning och universitet och utbildningsutvecklare) erfarenheter av motstånd öppnar studien för en diskussion om möjliga vägar till mer inkluderande arbetsplatser.
