Since the 1970’s the image of parenting has changed. Mothers began to focus on their careers and fathers were accredited a softer and more involved role in parenting. The subject has also been covered in Sweden by parenting magazines since 1968, when ’Vi föräldrar’ was launched. Over the last ten years, a number of new parenting magazines have surfaced in the Swedish market. The magazine ‘Mama’, w
In response to growing social injustices in cities, bottom-up initiatives are increasingly recognised as sites of resistance and experimentation. I examine how the PARKS project in Hamburg, a temporary, collectively governed green space, challenges neoliberal urban development and envisions socially just green spaces. Adopting a case study approach, I draw on semi-structured interviews, participan

Recently, their revitalization has gained urgency within sustainability discourse, seen as key to achieving global sustainable development. Yet, interventions often focus narrowly on economic recovery, overlooking the social dimension, particularly social cohesion, which is ess
This study aims to examine how the principle of the best interests of the child is implemented in placements under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) when placed in the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SIS), based on the experiences of social workers and SIS staff. The best interest of the child is a principle that has been a part of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Political polarisation is reshaping the institutional environment in which social ventures operate, yet research on social venture legitimacy still largely assumes stable, consensus-driven settings. This study explores how social ventures in Sweden reframe to maintain or reconstruct legitimacy when that consensus breaks down. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with founders and senior l

Over the past decades, it has become more and more obvious that ongoing globalisation processes have substantial impacts on the natural environment. Studies reveal that intensified global economic relations have caused or accelerated dramatic changes in the Earth system, defined as the sum of our planet’s interacting physical, chemical, biological and human processes (Schellnhuber et al. 2004). Cl
History is written by the powerful. Representations of the past are framed within the structures of the dominant institutions today, and other pasts – those of the enslaved, the marginalised, the disenfranchised – are often suppressed. Drawing of Eric Wolf’s Europe and the People Without History, this chapter explores how the fertile lands of the Cauca Valley, Colombia, have been transformed into
The study examined how international students perceive social integration. The University of Houston, Texas was used as a case study. The study was based on a symbolic interactionism.

We considered this to be relevant since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law 1 January 2020. This c
