Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines how market interests and state regulations come into play as policy makers engage in establishing language primacy within higher education (HE). More specifically, the focus concerns issues of internationalization within a multi-lingual context, manifested in language policies (LP). LPs are constructed in order to sort out which language to give primacy. Findings demonstrate how HE is balancing between invoking markets obfuscated through internationalization whilst simultaneously restricting market effects through state regulations. The promulgation of certain languages supports and weakens market and state interests. This article contributes to research and practice in HE, presenting future obstacles and challenges.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Higher education is usually conceptualized as being autonomous from market and state interventions. Academic scholars have been free to organize and realize educational content on their own terms. One reason for this lies in the academic freedom, which safeguards the pursuit of knowledge and a right to educate students on such knowledge. Increasingly, higher education has been subjected to global trends of internationalization. This implies the construction of a global agenda for facilitating student and staff mobility in order to increase student employability across borders and instigate a comparability of different degrees. An effect of internationalization is that competition has been introduced in higher education, leading to changing pedagogical practices and understandings of higher education is. Drawing from economic theory, it can be argued that internationalization transforms higher education from a public to a private good, making it susceptible to market powers. This process can be labeled marketization, meaning that higher education becomes a service as any other.

Language policy as ‘frozen’ ideology: exploring the administrative function in Swedish higher education
- 2020

Ingår i: Current Issues in Language Planning. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1466-4208 .- 1747-7506. ; 21:1, s. 67-68

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines Language Policy documents within higher education institutions in Sweden. Its main focus is on how national language policies and policies for internationalization of the higher education are reinterpreted as local language policy. The analysis of ideologies surrounding the prescribed language(s) in meetings of decision making bodies in fifteen local Language Policy documents reveals how a monolingual national language policy is negotiated to accommodate an internationalized multilingual workplace. When the multilingual context of the internationalized university intrudes on the nationally oriented context of public administration, which favors Swedish as a default language, there are two solutions to be found in the language policy documents. (1) a temporary or permanent shift towards an internationally oriented monolingual context by allowing the use of another language, favoring English, or (2) a temporary or permanent shift towards parallel language-informed practices. Restrictive measures are found to construct situations where participation is made possible for non-regular non-Swedish-speaking members, while permissive measures provide inclusion for regular non-Swedish-speaking members, too.

Att vara kund till staten

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Det har blivit allt vanligare att myndigheter pratar om kunder. Det kan handla om tämligen ytliga fall som när Transportstyrelsen hänvisar till kundtjänst på sina hemsidor. I andra fall handlar det om hur till exempel Pensionsmyndigheten mäter och utvärderar kundnöjdhet som indikation på om myndigheten möter de kvar om god kvalitet som ställs på den offentliga sektorn. Det kan också handla om till synes mer genom-gripande förändringar som när Försäkringskassan inom organisationen diskuterar medborgare som kunder, eller när Arbetsförmedlingen inför så kallade kundresor för att öka servicetillgängligheten i verksamheten. I det här kapitlet diskuterar jag statsförvaltningens olika försök att skapa förutsättningar för en kundroll inom statlig verksamhet. Syftet är att problematisera användningen av kundbegreppet inom olika statliga verksamheter.
