Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In this paper we discuss some challenges in the process of evaluating evidence in cases of rape. In cases of rape, a core question, under the new criminal rape legislation, is whether the act was voluntary or not. This often leads to an evidentiary situation where the judge is left to decide upon matters of trust and credibility. This, in turn, puts the two epistemic concepts empathy and certainty at the center of the trial. the theoretical foundation is three-folded: legal, sociology of emotions and an everyday life perspective.

“My Whole Family Is Not Really My Family” — Secure Care Shadows on Family and Family Practices Among Young Adults and Their Family Members
- 2022
-
In: Journal of Family Issues. - Paris : Sage Publications. - 0192-513X .- 1552-5481. ; 43:8, s. 2210-2233, s. 515-515

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study based in Sweden explores family practices and family displays among young adults with a history of secure care, which limits and restricts contacts and therefore causes fundamental changes in relationships. Almost 10 years after institutional placement, narrations of 11 young adults and 11 nominated family members reveal ongoing struggles between imagined and lived realities of family. These struggles are revealed by memories and emotions evoked by the context of secure care and show how deeply the secure care penetrated their family lives. By using the metaphor of shadows, shadows of recalled horror of secure care (reflecting family displacement) and the pressure to make family work (reflecting restricting practices in secure care where only (birth) family were considered as family and relations of (natural) importance) are discerned. We call for more attention to the perversity of secure care arrangements, at both policy and institutional levels.

Swedish Social Partners Take on Gender Equality on the Labour Market

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Sweden is one of the most gender-equal countries in the world (EIGE 2020). However, the labour market still suffers from sexual division of labour, pay gap, sexual harassment and work/family-conflicts (cf. SCB 2020). Swedish social partners, Trade Unions and Employer Organisations, have vast autonomy in regulating conditions at the labour market, not least through collective bargaining and agreements, but in other collaborative arenas as well (e.g. Kjellberg, 2019; Larsson & Ulfsdotter Eriksson, 2019). Still, the Swedish Women's Lobby criticized the labour market partners for not using these arenas as a platform for addressing gender inequality, and more purposeful confront inequalities in agreements and other collaborations. Also, Briskin and Müller (2011) appointed social dialogue as a beneficial arena to address gender equality. Danieli (2006) arguedt hat gender relations have been sidestepped, not only by IR researchers but within the Industrial relation-work and agenda as well. This paper investigates the articulation of gender equality on labour market matters and aims to explore how Swedish Trade Unions and Employer Organisations address gender equality issues. The empirical data consist of social partners public debate articles in media and public statements from social partners websites. The analysis is guided by Bacchi’s (1999; 2009; cf. Röbblom and Sandgren 2015) critical approach to policy and revolve around questions such as: How is gender equality addressed by social partners and do statements differ depending on actor and role?; What assumptions of gender relations underlie the approach to gender equality?; and How can social partners articulation explain the production and reproduction of gender relations on the labour market.
