  English abstract:

  The shifting demographics that come with migration and globalization have changed the settings for social work education in Sweden. To promote sustainability in a diverse society, strategies for inclusion and equality are essential in the development of core competencies in social work. One essential question is how social work education has responded to the demographic changes. The study aims to contribute with knowledge about how ethnicity is conceptualized in Sweden and to describe the impact the subject has on teaching forms and strategies. More specifically, the study investigates university teachers’ expressions of their teaching practices about the concept and addresses the faculty members’ narratives about the teaching situations. The study concludes that the lack of a coherent academic context for teaching ethnicity leads to the development of individual approaches by the teachers and a personalization of the issue of ethnicity in social work education. This creates a limitation on how structural elements come into play in relation to ethnicity, and in turn, leads to a shortage of a critical analysis of the construction of social problems where ethnicity plays a fundamental role. These circumstances precede theoretical perspectives on social problems related to ethnicity, migration, transnational relations, globalization, and racism.

  English abstract:

  Today’s welfare system faces a variety of social challenges in terms of social vulnerability, inequality and the presence of segregated and parallel societies. Within this complexity, the professional practitioner meets opportunities for action, institutional frameworks, and the role of higher education as a future social innovator. The objective of this paper is to suggest an inquiry concerning how social work students form their conception on the complexity of every-day social work practice and professional expertise. The focus is to investigate social work students’ process and formation of knowledge regarding challenge based learning (CBL). Methodologically the examination will be based on multi-method data triangulation design. In conclusion this paper suggests the use of socio-ecological and social learning theory to develop more dynamic teaching models to enhance the understanding of the challenging pathways linking social structures in development of students’ professional self.

  Langanke, Harriet   in Zeitschrift für Sexualforschung;1 : Georg Thieme Verlag Kg (2018)

  

  

  English abstract:

  An act named the Prostitutes Protection Act (ProstSchG), thereby claiming to protect sex workers, needs to be questioned as to whether its intention to protect actually has any impact on the sexual health of the group addressed. The article reviews the fundamental approach of the law and considers its relationship to other legal regulations serving the sexual health of people in sex work. Taking three issues explicitly mentioned by the ProstSchG (mandatory registration, mandatory counseling and mandatory condom use), the article explains how the law puts sexual health in sex work structurally at risk. The article shows that stigmatizing controlling mechanisms associated with the ProstSchG actually enhance the vulnerability of the target group instead of protecting their sexual health.

• BDSM – the antithesis of good Swedish sex?
  Carlström, Charlotta Malmö University. Centre for Sexology and Sexuality Studies   Journal article in Sexualities; : Sage (2018)	Journal article

  

  

  English abstract:

  In this article, based on ethnographic fieldwork, and interviews with 29 self-defined BDSM practitioners, I explore the incorporation process of BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, Sadism and Masochism) in Swedish society. I argue that the so-called ‘good sexuality’ described by Gayle Rubin (2011) and Don Kulick (2005) is still alive as a normative principle in this context. Drawing on Foucault’s concept ‘biopower’ (1976), I show that to gain acceptance and to fit into a society characterized by ‘good sexuality’, BDSM has to be normalized. This normalization process is closely connected to a middle-class hegemony and results in limitations that in various ways affect the practitioners, as well as impacting the transgressive core of BDSM.
