Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- En central del av verksamheten vid nästan alla institutioner som bedriver undervisning och forskning i historia är att utbilda historielärare. Historiker av facket diskuterar emellertid sällan frågor om lärarutbildningens innehåll och uppläggning, utöver de som knyter an till specifika historievetenskapliga sakområden. Vad behöver framtida historielärare kunna, och hur skiljer det sig eventuellt från vad framtida historiker bör kunna? Hur förhåller sig ämnesstudier till ämnesdidaktik och utbildningsvetenskap? Svaren på den typen av frågor har stor betydelse inte bara för lärarutbildningen utan för universitetsämnet historia och dess utövare i stort. Hur ska vi som historiker förhålla oss till det? Som en utgångspunkt för en sådan diskussion har en grupp historiker verksamma inom lärarutbildningen vid Göteborgs och Örebro universitet genomfört en inventering av historiedidaktiken i ämneslärarutbildningen vid tio av totalt sjutton svenska lärosäten där sådan utbildning med inriktning mot historia inom gymnasieskolan bedrivs idag. Med hjälp av publikt tillgänglig information och en enkät via epost till de ansvariga för utbildningarna har gruppen kartlagt historiedidaktiska kursmål och kurslitteratur, examensarbetenas inriktning och vem som undervisar i historiedidaktik. Medan det finns vissa gemensamma drag i hur målen för utbildningarna formuleras, visar genomgången på betydande variationer mellan lärosätena avseende kurslitteratur, examensarbeten och bemanning. Mot den bakgrunden diskuteras i denna idé- och debattartikel vad likheter och skillnader kan bero på samt om, och i så fall hur, det är ett problem att historielärarutbildningarna är så olika.

Methodological reflections on fiction in historical research : Skönlitteraturen i historievetenskapen – några metodologiska reflektioner
- 2013
-
In: Historisk Tidskrift. - 0345-469X. ; 133:3, s. 384-410
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How can novels and short stories be used in historical research? There seems to be three different approaches to the relationship between fiction and society among Swedish historians today: Fiction as reflection of society, fiction as action that influences society and fiction as dialogue between text and society. The main advantage of using literary sources is that they can contribute to a deeper understanding of social phenomena. This is because novels and short stories are often biased, subjective and fictitious. Although the selection of appropriate novels and short stories for use in historical research raises questions of representativeness, similar methodological problems are part of all historical research. In general, it probably seems more proper to historians to choose realistic fiction that describes the contemporary society of the novelist, but this is not an absolute rule. Historians should not view the research methods employed to analyze fiction as particularly unique. Common historical approaches such as comparisons, argument analysis, discourse analysis of ideas, constructions and representations etc. can be applied to novels and short stories as well as to other types of written sources. In three readings of the same short story, 'Tvifvel' by Anne Charlotte Leffler, we provide three examples, based on different research interests, of how historians can analyze a fictional text. These examples also demonstrate different methodological approaches. One reading takes individual words and their meanings and connotations as a starting point. Another emphasizes dialogue in order to scrutinize the fictional characters' views and positions. A third reading focuses on key episodes in the story. As these readings show, fiction can be valuable in historical research by complicating, refining, and qualifying our understanding of the past.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Hur har äldre under de senaste hundra åren framställts i medierna? Vad är det för idéer om åldrande som kännetecknar de beskrivningarna? För att förstå dagens mediebilder av äldre görs i detta kapitel av Mediehistoriskt Årsbok 2023 historisk tillbakablick. Författarna utgår från tidigare forskning om äldre i medierna och historisk forskning om äldre och åldrande samt välfärdssamhällets framväxt och etablering. De empiriska exempel som används är nyheter där där äldre förekommer eller omtalas på på Dagens Nyheters första sida vart 20:e från 1912 och framåt. Studien bekräftar vad tidigare studier visat – att äldre sällan syns eller kommer till tals i nyheterna, vare sig i text eller bild. Den visar också hur det ständigt förekommer en växelverkan mellan samhällsutveckling och mediebilder av äldre Det gäller även förstasidorna i Dagens Nyheter som granskats. Däremot är äldre inte stereotypt skildrade i de enskilda nyhetsartiklarna, snarare är det sammanhangen som är stereotypa.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Capability in Age and Ageing
- 2022
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This open access book provides insight on how to interpret capability in ageing – one’s individual ability to perform actions in order to reach goals one has reason to value – from a multidisciplinary approach. With for the first time in history there being more people in the world aged 60 years and over than there are children below the age of 5, the book describes this demographic trends as well as the large global challenges and important societal implications this will have such as a worldwide increase in the number of persons affected with dementia, and in the ratio of retired persons to those still in the labor market. Through contributions from many different research areas, it discussed how capability depends on interactions between the individual (e.g. health, genetics, personality, intellectual capacity), environment (e.g. family, friends, home, work place), and society (e.g. political decisions, ageism, historical period). The final chapter by the editors summarizes the differences and similarities in these contributions. As such this book provides an interesting read for students, teachers and researchers at different levels and from different fields interested in capability and multidisciplinary research.

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In 2020, for the first time in history, there were more people in the world aged 60 years and over than there were children below the age of 5 years. The population aged over 65 years is projected to increase from one billion in 2019 to more than two billion in 2050, and those aged over 80 years are projected to increase from 143 to 426 million, with the largest increase occurring in the developing world (UN World Population Prospects, 2019). This demographic trend constitutes the largest global health challenge, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). The European Union has set it as one of the major challenges in Horizon 2020 and it has important societal implications (European Commission, 2020). The proportion of retired individuals will increase, leading to an increased ratio between those who have exited the workforce and those still active in the labour market. Thus, ageing represents a global societal and scientific challenge requiring integrated efforts, multidisciplinary translational research approaches and social innovations that build on ideas of potentials and capabilities, emphasising the value of old age.

Passive and active suicidal ideation in Swedish 85-year-olds: Time trends 1986-2015
- 2021

In: Journal of Affective Disorders. - : Elsevier BV. - 0165-0327 .- 1573-2517. ; 290, s. 300-307

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Abstract Background Older adults have high suicide rates. We investigated potential time trends in the prevalence of passive and active suicidal ideation in 85-year-olds. Further, we examined factors associated with such ideation in this age group. Methods Population-based samples of 85-year-olds were interviewed in 1986 (N=347), 2008 (N=426) and 2015 (N=320). Past-month passive/active suicidal ideation was evaluated with the Paykel questions. Results Reporting any type of passive or active suicidal ideation was less common in 2008 (7.3%, p<0.001) and 2015 (7.2%, p<0.001) compared to 1986 (16.4%). The change was driven by decreases in passive ideation. Passive/active suicidal ideation was associated with higher MADRS score (OR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.2, p<0.001), institution residence (OR: 3.9, 95% CI: 1.7-8.9, p=0.001) and feelings of loneliness (OR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4-5.2, p=0.003). When stratified by sex, it was associated with institution residence (OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.4-9.9, p=0.008) and feelings of loneliness (OR: 3.0, 95% CI: 1.4-6.3, p=0.005) in women. In men, we observed a tenfold higher risk in those without partners (OR: 9.8, 95% CI: 2.9-33.5, p<0.001). Limitations While differential three-year mortality was not observed in 1986, mortality was higher among non-participants in 2008 and 2015. This might have inflated cohort differences in passive/active suicidal ideation. Conclusion An initial decrease in the prevalence of passive/active suicidal ideation in 85-year-olds was observed but this positive trend did not persist. Results underline that preventive strategies targeting loneliness and focusing on institutional settings are needed, as are interventions for men without partners.
