- This article examines the role of equipment managers in Swedish male elite ice hockey. This is in relation to a major shift in terms of professionalization and commercialization that has occured within elite ice hockey as a whole during the past 40-50 years. The article themes are identified through an investigation of how equipment managers are portraited in Swedish media.Additionally, in order to deepen the historical perspective, the article also features an interview with Anders Weiderstål, a former eqipment manager for Team Sweden. Said interview is analysed according to theories of professionalization and it reveals how both the daily work and the role within the team has changed. From being "another team member", "equipment manager" has become a professional role with a certain working language and a position of power within the team. However, many equipment managers still manifest values that can be traced back to former, more amateur-oriented ideals, which give them a unique position among players and leaders in today's elite ice hockey.

- In 2017, social scientists Ilker Ataç and Sara de Jong described the emergence of a new type of movement in Europe following the 2015 refugee crisis. According to the authors, these ‘new refugee aid movements’ are characterised by the way in which they combine humanitarian and political work with refugees. This combination sets them apart from conventional humanitarian NGOs (e.g. Caritas and the Red Cross) and social movements (e.g. the people’s campaign against nuclear power).This study examines if two Swedish organisations, Refugees Welcome to Malmö and Kontrapunkt, can be understood as part of this European trend. It is based on a thematical reading (following Hunt, Benford and Snow’s theory of social movement identity) of previously conducted interviews with movement volunteers. The main result of this study is that the investigated organisations share several features with the new type of movement. These shared features include a flexible way of working with refugees and the belief in the need for a political solution to the humanitarian crisis. Still, smaller differences are also identified. Refugees Welcome to Malmö, for example, chose to co-operate with local authorities, setting them apart from the European trend where the new movements often pursue autonomy from public authorities. Ultimately, this study calls for further investigation into an important period of modern Swedish migration history.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Although Social Democratic Memoirs comprise an extensive material, these texts have not attracted any systematic analysis as a distinct and yet varied form of textual genre. The focus in this MA-paper is the Swedish Social Democratic Memoir as a rhetoric genre. The main primary material is memoirs of the pioneer August Palm (1849–1922), the father of the nation Tage Erlander (1901–1985) and the political leader Göran Persson (1949–), published 1905, 1972–82 and 2007, respectively. The general aim is to find out what is the driving power of the memoirs and, more specifically, to shed light on the images of the party history and the history of the welfare state. The method is a comparative analysis of these texts. The overarching rhetoric of Social Democratic Memoirs relate to a general ideological theme corresponding to the progression from darkness to light. Each memoir emerges from some special exigence (L.F. Bitzer, C.R. Miller), that is, an immediate need – in these cases actualized by the current position of the party and the rhetorical demands on a party member’s text commenting on that situation. Central questions are: What motivates the memoirs and how do the memoirs relate to what motivates them? The exigence which the memoirs of August Palm seem to emerge from is how the labour movement can be mobilized in the fight for the right to vote. By creating himself as a popular hero and pioneer Palm can inspire and raise the working class in that fight. The exigence which the memoirs of Tage Erlander seem to respond to is that the social democracy is challenged both from left and right during the oil crisis and depression. He writes a success story about the building of the welfare state. However, the rhetorical situation change, and so does the rhetorical strategy in later volumes. In the memoirs of Göran Persson the new liberal social democratic politics become a part of the party tradition and the progression from darkness to light. This rhetorical strategy suggests that the memoirs emerge from an exigence where many grassroot-members point out Persson as responsible for the crisis policy in the 1990’s.
