    Motstånd och strategier i jämställdhetsarbete2015Book (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    Jämställdhetsarbete väcker ofta motstånd, det har de flesta som arbetar med jämställdhet erfarenhet av. Men vilka strategier kan förändringsaktörer använda för att bemöta motstånd och komma vidare i jämställdhetsarbetet, är frågan som utforskas i denna bok.

    Jämställdhetsarbete berör ofta angelägna frågor där det kan finnas motstridiga intressen, till exempel kring fördelning av resurser, inflytande och ansvar. Inte sällan uppstår starka känslor hos människor. En del visar öppet sin oro. Andra praktiserar förnekelse på olika sätt. Vissa blir aggressiva. Många protesterar i tysthet. Denna ovilja mot förändring brukar formuleras i termer av motstånd och kan alltså komma till uttryck på många sätt.

    I boken ges ett perspektiv på makt och motstånd som syftar till att bidra till upplevelser av ett större handlingsutrymme för att möta motstånd mot jämställdhetsarbete. Ingången består av material som har skapats i ett forskningsprojekt där jämställdhetsarbetare, medarbetare och chefer, från myndigheter och kommuner har utforskat motstånd och strategier tillsammans med genusforskare. Materialet ger en inblick i vad det kan innebära att arbeta med jämställdhet, vad en förändringsaktör möter och förväntas hantera i jämställdhetsarbetet. Ett bidrag i boken är en rad av idéer på handlingsalternativ för att möta motstånd, som mejslats fram i olika former i projektet. Bokens bidrag handlar också om att förvalta de kunskaper som skapats gemensamt och hur teori kan hjälpa oss att fördjupa, förstå och agera.

    Boken är skriven av fyra genusforskare vid Karlstads universitet respektive Göteborgs universitet och riktar sig till alla som är intresserade av jämställdhet, förändring och utbildning i organisationer och verksamheter.

    Trans representation in The black tides of Heaven and a trans fantasy meeting.2021Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 5 credits / 7,5 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The following essay examines The black tides of Heaven by Neon Yang and its trans representation through a trans reading. The essay is based on research questions involving trans representation and how these representations challenge cisnormative ideas of gender and body and how fantasy is a possibility for trans stories. Throughout the essay, the novella is discussed from different topics such as trans as starting point, trans bodies and depathologisation, the novella as a decolonial work, and trans representation, exit scapes and a trans fantasy alliance. From this analysis, I can conclude that there are multiple disruptive representations of trans, making it an important piece of trans text and also in giving hope and comfort to trans readers.

    Cyborgs and entanglements of technology, masculinity, and (automated) vehicles2019In: Feministische Studien, ISSN 0723-5186, Vol. 37, no 2, p. 320-335Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In this article, we will discuss different entanglements of technology and masculinity with a special focus on (automated) vehicles. Starting from a cyborg- epistemology formulated as 'thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis, prosthesis' (Gray 2001: 189), we will, in three sections, entangle and disentangle different discourses and practices around how masculinity has been constructed around intimacy, technology, and cyborgisation. Historically, this points in both destructive directions and emancipatory hopes of transcendence through cyborgisation. Cyborgs are thus political technologies, and we argue that a history of masculinity as well as the future of masculinity, in a western context and beyond, can be understood in relation to cyborgisation and intimacy with technological artefacts. It is argued that cyborgs are possibly the tricksters of the future posthuman masculinity but they are also a tool to understand the 'leitmotif' of male transcendence in the history of masculinity. To illustrate our point, we will use different forms of technologies of movement and other man-machine relations as our "objects-to-think-with", considering gendered power relations and emancipatory potentials (Haraway 2004: 321).

    Gender and transport: Affective structures and practices2022In: The Routledge Companion to Gender and Affect / [ed] Todd W. Reeser, Taylor & Francis, 2022, p. 111-120Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter responds to the broad question of how gender and affect can be co-thought in studies of mobilities and transport. We regard transport and mobility systems as affective structures, where man–machine complexities are being performed. In this chapter, we exemplify these relations, focusing on how cyborgic entanglements of man–machine, transport and affective structures are staged, and enacted in selected historical, contemporary and future cases. We argue that emotion and affect are strong motivational powers that regulate how we travel, in what way we travel and how we appreciate different means of transportation. Last, we discuss whether the current and coming automatization of automobility can possibly disrupt rather than reify the historically strong connection between masculinity, the power of engines, speed and risk. Our question is: as the affective structures of automobility are anticipated to change when future forms of automobility will be more about “passengering” in automated and connected mobility systems, will this also fundamentally change the driver/technology relation?

    "Stuprör" och "öppna kanaler": Metaforer i talet om och för samverkan2014In: Arbetsmarknad & Arbetsliv, ISSN 1400-9692, E-ISSN 2002-343X, Vol. 20, no 2, p. 9-23Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Artikeln problematiserar betydelsen av metaforer i samtal om tvärsektoriell samverkan inom offentlig verksamhet. Samtalens syfte var att förhindra att ungdomar anlägger bränder och annan typ av skadegörelse. Vi använder oss av metaforisk textanalys. Resultatet visar att metaforer har olika funktion i parternas samtal. De har en förklarande eller översättande funktion och innebär då en resurs. Men de har även en kamouflerande funktion, vilket innebär att användandet av metaforer inte är helt oproblematiskt.

    Libidinal Heterodoxy: Heterosexuality, Hetero-masculinity and "Transgression"2015In: Men and Masculinities, ISSN 1097-184X, E-ISSN 1552-6828, Vol. 18, no 2, p. 140-158Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The central intention of this article is to challenge orthodoxies regarding hetero-masculinity—orthodoxies which have tended to constitute it as a static monolithand queer as the only potential site for a less oppressive sexuality. In questioningsuch orthodoxies, I consider the possibilities for (libidinal)heterodoxyin relation tohetero-masculinity. The term heterodoxy enables thinking about hetero-masculinitydifferently. In developing an alternative approach to hetero-masculinity, I turn to thequestion of how a transgressive hetero-masculinity might be conceptualized. Such aquestion complicates our understandings of sexuality and social change and opens upnew, more positive theoretical and empirical directions which move beyond existingorthodoxies.

    Politicians’ Instagram personas in relation to Swedish politics: A discourse analysis of personas from a gender point of view of Swedish political party leaders’ Instagram accounts2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    This essay aims to investigate how the leaders for the Swedish parliamentary parties appear on their official Instagram accounts. By conducting a discourse analysis, looking at both text, visual images, and the combination of the two in the Instagram posts, the intention is to analyse how gender is being performed through the rhetorical concept of persona. 

    The analysis show that all eight party leaders mainly enact political/professional personas. Sub-personas derived to this category are individual vs group member, active vs passive, and critic. The male party leaders exhibit the individual, active and critical personas to a greater extent than their female counterparts, and thereby performing gender in a stereotypically masculine way – reproducing the image of the stereotypical male politician. The analysis also finds that some party leaders, mainly female ones, use personal personas to a greater extent. 

    The conclusion is that all party leaders mainly use professional personas, profiling them as first and foremost politicians. But when looking at how the personas are carried out, the female party leaders can be seen using numerously more personas than the male ones, especially adding on personal personas. In addition to enacting the traditional female stereotype of having to handle both carrier and family, this may reward them with additional Instagram followers. But when the number of followers is put in relation to surveys of trust and opinion polls, the conclusion is that the party leaders exhibiting masculine coded personas are more prosperous in actual politics.

    Att förklara samhället1997Book (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Att förklara samhället är en bok i metodologi. Med den kritiska realismen som grund presenterar författarna metodologiska riktlinjer för en samhällsvetenskap med höga anspråk på att kunna förklara samhälleliga förhållanden.

    Bokens nio kapitel behandlar samhällsvetenskapens ontologiska och epistemologiska grunder, begreppsbildning och strukturell analys, kausalitet och förklaring, samhällsvetenskapen som tolkande vetenskap, förhållandet mellan struktur och aktör, olika former av slutledningar och tankeoperationer, relationen mellan det generella och det individuella, teoriers betydelse i forskningspraktiken, olika sätt att koppla teori och empiri, kombinationer av metoder (det som i boken kallas kritisk metodpluralism) samt grunderna för en samhällsrelevant samhällsvetenskap.

    Kritiken mot de positivistiska vetenskapsidealen, empirismen och tron på den objektiva, bevisade kunskapen har delvis slagit över i sin motsats, en överdriven försiktighet, en långtgående relativism, en betoning på vad vetenskapen inte kan göra i stället för vad den kan göra. Denna bok visar att det finns ett fruktbart alternativ till dessa positioner, ett alternativ som ger mer realistiska och samtidigt konstruktiva grunder för samhällsvetenskaplig forskning.

    Abstract [en]

    ‘Knowledge society’ and ‘knowledge economy’ are current buzzwords in the visions of the future made by nations, regions and federations on a global scale. A concrete outcome of this is the globalisation and intensification of higher education and research. The visions based on a knowledge component should be treated as expressions of an ideology. In this article we use the notion of ‘eduscapes’ and ‘imaginaries’ as analytics for an understanding of such visions as these are expressed by individuals and institutional actors involved in educational landscapes. The argument is made that this notion is less ideological and more apt for an analysis of globalisation of higher education.

    Outbursts, discipline, and wake-up calls: Gendered emotionalities in men’s gambling.In: Feminist Encounters, E-ISSN 2468-4414Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Within gambling debates and research, emotions are associated with irrationality, loss of control, and problem gambling. Simultaneously, they have a complex relationship to masculine positions, which are said to be connected to both stoicism and aggressivity. Using interviews with Swedish men gamblers and feminist and critical theorisations of emotions, this article discusses experiences, negotiations, and performances of emotions within men’s gambling. The article demonstrates that emotions and control were entangled but discussed as separate by the interviewees, who used emotion work in order to navigate their own experiences in relation to larger discourses about gender, health, and “sovereignty” in relation to gambling. The article expands feminist research about gender and emotions by providing in-depth, detailed discussions about men’s emotionalities. It also contributes to gambling research by integrating problematising perspectives on emotions and to research about the production of gendered emotionalities under capitalism.

    During the last decades, several European gambling markets have been reregulated. In 2019, it was Sweden’s turn; the former oligopoly was replaced by a licensing system. In this article, the governmental inquiry in which the new system was proposed, outlined, and justified is studied using discourse analysis. Medical, public health, and free market discourses have been shown to dominate articulations of gambling in several national contexts, but the ways in which these discourses interact, overlap, and differ is crucial to understand better in order to appreciate the production and legitimation of meanings around gambling. Moreover, the 2019 reregulation has not yet been studied from discursive perspectives; thus, the article makes both theoretical and empirical contributions. The article demonstrates that market and medical discourses structure the inquiry. While they sometimes overlap and merge, their co-existence also causes tensions, for instance regarding whether an increase in gambling is acceptable or not. The article points to a strengthening of market and medical discourses and a weakening of public health discussion within Swedish gambling debates.

    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this special issue is to enable a dialogue between masculinity studies and transgender studies and attempt to find common areas of inquiry and mutual knowledge production in such conventionally divided arenas. The contributions to the issue explore a multiplicity of masculinities, which are seen as situational positions that can be deployed and activated by a variety of bodies, and in this way attempt to de-essentialize masculinity as grounded in a cis-male body. In this introduction, we discuss how masculinity studies have approached transgender issues, its general lack of interest in trans masculinities, as well as how transgender studies have related to masculinity theorizing.

    Abstract [en]

    This chapter reviews empirical and theoretical work within critical studies on men and masculinities (CSMM), drawing on extensive empirical and theoretical studies relevant to psychology and social psychology. The chapter focuses on gender relations and power dynamics, social structures, intersectionality, bodies, practices, and identities, both individual and collective. The chapter first maps the key theoretical developments of CSMM, historically and conceptually, before moving to focus on two important contemporary issues: first, the development of more egalitarian masculinities, and, second, the explanations for various non-egalitarian masculinities, such those linked to incel and Alt-Right movements, both online and offline.

    Fussy girls and chattering women: The construct and subordination of femininity in preschool teacher training2018In: Early Child Development and Care, ISSN 0300-4430, E-ISSN 1476-8275, Vol. 188, no 2, p. 220-230Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In Sweden, as in Western countries generally, most preschool teachers are women. This fact sometimes leads to the assumption that preschools are “feminine”, and that this might be bad for boys. We challenge this assumption. Using a gender critical approach we have studied preschool student teachers. “Femininity” might be used as a rhetorical and demeaning stereotype by them. Women and femininity however, are not interchangeable concepts. Failure to acknowledge this can pave the way for subtle sexism against girls and women. Our argument is supported by ethnographic observations and interviews with student teachers. By means of a Foucauldian genealogical analysis we uncover the conditions of possibility for two long-lasting feminine stereotypes. One stereotype argues that young girls should never fuss. The other claims that women are chattering gossipers. Our study shows that these archaic notions persist in Swedish preschool teacher training, despite its long tradition of work for gender equality.

    Not okay: Preschool teachers talk about inappropriate touching2020In: Journal of Early Childhood Education Research, E-ISSN 2323-7414, Vol. 9, no 2, p. 456-476Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study investigates views and experiences described by Swedish preschool teachers regarding inappropriate and unprofessional physical touching between educators and children. The empirical material consists of semi-structured interviews with 30 preschool teachers. The interviews were analysed with thematic analysis, and further examined in the light of the concepts ‘becoming’ and ’being’. The results show that educators consider it inappropriate and unprofessional for staff to grab or restrain a child, or to touch a child without observing the child’s signals, as doing so violates the child’s integrity. It is also deemed wrong to carry or ‘help’ a capable child, as this is considered undermining the child’s agency. Further, to kiss a child is also deemed inappropriate and unprofessional. The informants have, however, slightly different approaches and experiences regarding kissing. The results show that preschool teachers struggle with these issues. The boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate touching may be difficult to draw up. And in concrete situations, the concepts ‘becoming’ and ‘being’ are not always easy to separate. The study concludes that both preschool teacher education and workplaces should pay attention to the subtle, but culturally and socially permeated, issues of touch.

    Principle or dialogue: Preschool directors speak about how they handle parents’ suspicions towards men2019In: Power and Education, E-ISSN 1757-7438, Vol. 11, no 1, p. 85-95Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Caring for children and teaching the youngest students have a strong historical connection to women and femininity. The few men working within early childhood education and care occupy an ambivalent position. On the one hand, they often receive a positive reception in preschools; on the other, they are also met with mistrust and suspicion. The suspicion often comes from parents, and their views have come to bear increasing importance. Preschool directors who have men on their staff thus have a dilemma to manage: they must listen to parents’ views at the same time as they have a personnel responsibility towards all their employees. The purpose of the present study is to describe and analyse how preschool directors reason about the parental suspicion and concern that male educators can encounter because they are men. The empirical material consists of interviews with 10 preschool directors (five women and five men). The study shows that preschool directors experience that parents want male personnel to refrain from performing certain tasks in the preschool. Some of the directors take a principle-based approach and emphasise that men and women should carry out the same work duties. Other directors maintain a dialogue-based approach, focusing on conducting a dialogue with concerned parents.

    The Glass Funnel: A Tool to Analyse the Gender Regime of Healthcare Education and Work2023In: Journal of Vocational Education and Training, ISSN 1363-6820, E-ISSN 1747-5090, Vol. 75, no 2, p. 278-299Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The concepts glass escalator and glass ceiling have been widely used in studies of gender and organisations. In this paper we propose a novel metaphor to describe and analyse gender segregation and discrimination, that of a glass funnel. This concept does not relate to men and women as groups in the sense of fixed collective entities, but rather shows how taken-for-granted distinctions between men and women are reiterated and promote men in a way that downgrades women. However, as gender intersects with other power structures, both men and women can be propelled down-wards through the funnelling motion made up of a market- oriented devaluation of the healthcare profession. Through an empirical investigation of the community of practice and gender regime of an upper secondary healthcare education programme in Sweden, we develop the glass funnel concept, an analytical tool aiming to open up for intersectional ana-lyses of healthcare education and work.

    Fun guy and possible perpetrator: An interview study of how men are positioned within early childhood education and care2019In: Education Inquiry, E-ISSN 2000-4508, Vol. 10, no 2, p. 95-115Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Many countries call for more men to be teachers in early child-hood education and care (ECEC). In Sweden, the issue has beendiscussed since the early 1970s, but despite these discussionsthere is little Swedish research that examines the notions andexpectations associated with male teachers. International researchhas found that perceptions of men in ECEC can be very ambivalentand that physical contact between the male educator and childrenis a sensitive issue. By focusing on the interaction between edu-cators and children, the purpose of this study is to investigategender-specific beliefs about male preschool teachers. The empiri-cal material consists of interviews with 50 informants. Of these, 17are men and 33 are women. The results show that“the fun guy”and“the possible perpetrator”are two gender-specific positionsthat male informants are subjected to. The article discusses howmen take up and resist the two positions, and argues for the needto further challenge gendered stereotypes in preschools

    Too much, too little: Preschool teachers’ perceptions of the boundaries of adequate touching2018In: Pedagogy, Culture & Society, ISSN 1468-1366, E-ISSN 1747-5104, Vol. 27, no 3, p. 485-502Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    In the present study we focus on physical touch that is judged tobe just outside what is considered to be ‘normal’. We explore how preschool teachers describe and explain situations where educa-tors give children too much or too little touching. Semi-structured interviews have been conducted with 30 qualified preschool teachers working in Swedish preschools. When the informants talk about situations where educators give children too much touching, the descriptions involve a behaviour that does not lie within the preschool mission, teachers who do not set boundaries, and actions that have disadvantages for the children. On the other hand, situations where educators give children too little touching are described solely with reference to the teacher and that person’s fear or cold personality. The results have been interpreted inrelation to the discourse of preschool professionalisation and Hochschild’s theory of emotional labour

    Degendering the display of homosocial relationships?: A visual content analysis of brothers and sisters in Swedish newspaper photos2018Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The literature on homosociality has often assumed differences between female and male homosocial relationships, where sociality and intimacy form a continuum among women and a binary among men. Also, female homosociality is understood as associated with family and home, while the male equivalent would be associated with public space and work. However, some have argued that with the increasing acceptance of male homosexuality, as well as with feminist organising and women’s inclusion in the public sphere, these gender differences in homosociality would disappear. Such reduced gender differences would presumably be more prevalent in countries where the tendencies mentioned are more pronounced, such as Sweden.

    In this presentation, I present a quantitative visual content analysis of Swedish newspaper photos featuring same-sex siblings. I argue that the representation of such sibling relationships can be a good measurement of homosociality in society. The hypothesis tests overall disconfirm the hypothesis that homosociality is becoming less gender-specific, for example showing that brothers touch less frequently in the photos than sisters and that they are associated more often with work while sisters are associated with home and family. There are however caveats to these results, and some measurements do show signs of homosocial convergence.
