Honour-related violence and oppression : a controversial issue in educational contexts
- 2013
-
In: Programme and abstract book.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In relation to the much noticed honour killings in Sweden the government and the Swedish National Agency for Education have initiated research and also educational initiatives for headmasters and teachers in schools on the subject. We have in cooperation with the Swedish National Agency for Education developed syllabuses and organized short term courses around “Honour-related violence and oppression” and “Sexuality education, relations and values” for mainly headmasters, teachers, students, nurses and counselors working in schools. In light of these experiences we see a great need for developing a knowledge area in social studies subjects on honour-related problems for compulsory school as well as for higher education. Therefore we have initiated a research project with the aim of addressing this challenging question. Useful theoretical perspectives focus on gender, diversity, power, othering and culturalization, as well as inclusion, co-existence and citizenship. Research questions include the overall need for education in these issues in relation to various levels of educations and to various school subjects. Another question focuses on how to develop a research based content of knowledge grounded in an ethical awareness and sensitiveness regarding this controversial issue in social studies subjects. Apart from developing a knowledge area the project strives to highlight good experiences from schools that have experiences working with this issue. Preliminary results from questionnaires and interviews will be analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Relations, Values and Sex Education : Changes and challenges in school curricula and the Swedish political context 2014
- 2014

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Relations, values and sex education: Changes and challenges in school curricula and the Swedish political context 2014. The government and the Swedish National Agency for Education have initiated research and also educational initiatives on gender equality, anti-discrimination laws, diversity in relation to sex education. In cooperation with the Swedish National Agency for Education we have developed syllabuses and organized short term courses at Malmö University, Sweden, around “Honor-related violence and oppression” and “Sexuality education, relations and values” for mainly headmasters, teachers, students, nurses and counselors working in schools . In light of these experiences we see a great need for developing a knowledge area in social studies on relations and sex education with norm critical perspectives and honour-related problems for compulsory school as well as for higher education. On basis of course evaluations we have found that the most valued content is education around norm critical perspectives and identities. This is most important in the Swedish diverse classrooms of today. We have initiated a research project with the aim of addressing relations, values and sex education in different schools subjects, such as social studies. Useful theoretical perspectives focus on body, gender, diversity, power, equality, othering and culturalization, as well as inclusion, exclusion, co-existence, democray and marginalization. One important outcome, as we see it, is to develop a research based knowledge area grounded in an ethical awareness and sensitiveness in social studies. In addition to developing this knowledge area, the project strives to highlight good experiences/best practices from teachers and schools that have worked with these issues. Preliminary results from evaluation sheets and questionnaires will be analyzed and discussed in this paper.

Studiebesök i religionskunskapsundervisningen : Elevers tal om islam före, under och efter ett moskébesök
- 2014
-
Licentiate thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- One aim with the Swedish non-confessional religious education is to increase students’ understanding and respect for different ways of thinking and behaving. One opportunity to reflect upon other people's interpretations of life, are field visits. Many teachers and students want to make field visits but few actually do. This thesis explores educational opportunities and challenges generated by field visits as part of religious education.This is a classroom study in an upper secondary school (the students were 17 years old), during the teaching sequence about Islam where one part was a field visit to a mosque. Data were produced by classroom observations and observations from a mosque visit, students’ journal writing’s before and after the visit and student interviews. The students’ utterances about Islam are analysed using Michael Bachtin’s dialogue theory and Robert Jackson’s interpretive approach.The analysis shows that students apply a speech genre, which in this study is denoted genre of politeness. In some cases the genre of politeness affect the students such that they do not dare to ask all questions, in particular questions about Islam and gender. Another result is that students more widely apply a self-reflexive speech genre during and after the mosque visit as compared to before the visit. By self-reflexive speech is meant that the students mirror what they have met in the mosque with their own interpretations of life. The analysis also shows that the several students express critical opinions about Islam both before and after the mosque visit and the teaching sequence.The study explores educational opportunities and challenges generated by the mosque visit. Some of the themes that are discussed in the thesis are: 1) questions about representations of religion, for instance in what way “lived religion” and religion as a “philosophical ideal” can be combined, 2) the students’ different ways of reflection, 3) how do students relate and rely on the faith representative’s utterances, and 4) how students formulate questions to the faith representative.

Religionen och kampen om själarna
- 2013
-
In: Malmö 1914. - : Mezzo Media. - 9789163722868 ; , s. 346260-279
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I detta kapitel belyses det religiösa livet i Malmö 1914 som karakteriseras av såväl stora förändringar som en kontinuitet. Svenska kyrkan dominerade det religiösa livet och de två n installerade prästerna Albert Lysander och Anders Svärd kom under lång tid att spela en stor roll i Malmö. Men det religiösa livet präglades också av en rad frikyrkor och missionsföreningar med lokaler runt om i staden. Dessa bedrev omfattande ungdomsverksamhet och socialt arbete bland Malmös fattiga. Under året installerades Nordens största kyrkoorgel i S:t Petris kyrka, och på Baltiska utställningen initierades en debatt om kremering och begravningsskick. Tidningspressen speglade mångfalden och den religiösa debatt som till viss del pågår fortfarande år 2013, men där globala perspektiv och sekularisering är mer framträdande idag. Kampen om själarna i Malmö fortsätter.

Abrahams barn : inkluderande undervisning utifrån kreativt samarbete och dialog
- 2011
-
In: Religionsdidaktik. - : Studentlitteratur AB. - 9789144057859 ; , s. 187-202
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Detta bokkapitel behandlar ett forskningsprojekt där temat Abrahams barn stått i fokus i religionsundervisningen. Projektet har undersökt studenters erfarenheter av undervisning om temat Abrahams barn som ett moment i en kurs i lärarprogrammet som handlar om kulturmöten och identitet i skolan. I kursen introduceras judendom, kristendom och islam och i temat Abrahams barn, som ses som en didaktisk metod, får studenterna bland annat dramatisera berättelser ur Bibeln och Koranen efter ett upplägg av Dorothea Rosenberg. Ambitionen med kapitlet är att visa hur temat AB med sina ingående olika delar är ett sätt att undervisa om religions- och kulturmöten och identitetsskapande. Den kulturella och religiösa mångfald som möter i svenska klassrum idag kan på ett positivt sätt bidra till att religionskunskapsundervisningen blir ett spännande och kreativt utrymme där elever kan engageras i pågående samtal om vad som gör ett samhälle hållbart. Ett ämnesteoretiskt och didaktiskt medvetet arbete med temat Abrahams barn kan fungera utmärkt i syfte att skapa förutsättningar för inkludering och kulturmöten på olika stadier och utbildningsnivåer.

In: Medborgerlig bildning. - : Studentlitteratur AB. - 9789144060620 ; , s. 125-144
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I kapitlet Existentiella frågor i religionsundervisning för ett hållbart samhälle, skriver Bodil Liljefors Persson om vad som kan kopplas till medborgerlig bildning utifrån de samhällsorienterande ämnena och särskilt fokuseras religionskunskapsundervisningen. Kapitlet är indelat i tre delar där den första delen lyfter upp vad som är centralt innehåll i kursplanerna för de fyra samhällsorienterande ämnena. I den andra delen av kapitlet presenteras en historisk översikt över hur religionskunskapsämnet har utvecklats samt dess relation till religionsvetenskap och lärarutbildning. Här ges också två exempel på teman inom ramen för ämnet religionskunskap: livsfrågor/existentiella frågor och Abrahams barn som undervisningstema. Kapitlet avslutas med att Liljefors Persson lyfter upp centrala tankar kring vad som efterfrågas av elever i undervisningen samt hur en ämnesteoretiskt och ämnesdidaktiskt medveten undervisning i religionskunskap kan utformas kopplad till medborgerlig bildning.
