  English abstract:	The purpose of this study has been to develop an understanding of teachers’ intentions regarding field trips within their science education. Through nine qualitative interviews with teachers who work or have been working in Malmö, following research questions have been studied: Why do grade 4-6 teachers choose to go on field trips and How do grade 4-6 teachers incorporate field trips within their science education. One of the theo-ries that have been central throughout this study is Formal and Informal Learning where formal learning is linked to classroom teaching and informal learning represents field trips. The second theory that have been used is Field Trip Pedagogy which relates to how field trips are incorporated in the classroom. When planning a field trip that is con-nected to the classroom it’s essential with logistic and administrative preparations, but also the teaching that is applied to before, during and after the field trip. From a phe-nomenographic approach, the results show that teachers’ intentions with field trips in their science education pertains to create a varied education experience in the classroom to favor the students learning. Teachers take their students on field trips to give them the opportunity to have first-hand experiences, to show them that what is talked about in the classroom exists for real, something that is supported in the literature review. In the result there are prominent factors that affect the implementation of field trips where the school’s location, budget and students’ safety are central. Field trips and the teach-ing that takes place before, during and after the visit is aligned with the curriculum. Ac-cording to the result the teaching that occurs after the field trip is prioritized.
  Swedish abstract:	I denna studie har en förståelse för åk 4-6 lärares intentioner med studiebesök inom NO-undervisningen skapats. Genom nio kvalitativa intervjuer med lärare som undervisar eller har undervisat i Malmö har följande frågeställningar undersökts: Varför väljer lärare i åk 4-6 att åka på studiebesök? samt Hur planerar lärare i åk 4-6 in studiebesök som en del av NO-undervisningen? En teori som använts i denna studie är formellt och informellt lärande, det formella är klassrumsundervisningen medan det informella representerar studiebesök. Ytterligare en teori som har använts är Field Trip Pedagogy, vilket innebär hur studiebesök planeras in i undervisningen. Teorin betonar vikten av logistiska och administrativa förberedelser, samt att det finns ett samspel i den undervisning som bed-rivs före, under och efter ett studiebesök. Utifrån en fenomenografisk ansats visar resul-tatet att lärares intentioner med studiebesök i NO-undervisningen avser att skapa en varierad undervisning i klassrummet för att gynna elevernas kunskapsinlärning. Lärare åker på studiebesök för att ge eleverna möjligheten att uppleva och få se att det som tas upp i klassrummet finns på riktigt, ett resultat som styrker den tidigare forskningen. I resultatet lyfts faktorer som påverkar genomförandet av studiebesök där framförallt sko-lans läge, budget samt säkerhet är centrala. Studiebesök och den undervisning som bed-rivs före och efter besöket överensstämmer med läroplanen. Enligt resultatet är under-visningen som sker efter besöket i störst fokus. Gemensamt i både den tidigare forsk-ningen och resultatet i denna studie är att lärarna är överens om att den planering som ett studiebesök kräver leder till någonting positivt.

  English abstract:

  Cities are places of constant contradictions – on the one hand culturally rich and diverse places with interesting entanglements of social and spatial relations, on the other hand sites of inequality, segregation and conflict. There are obviously various and sometimes opposing understandings, narrations and representations of a city. From an urban history perspective, it is adequate to critically ask: how do historymaking and representations of a city’s past contribute to create cities and trajectories of urban development? To understand this, we need to pay attention to how urban phenomena are historicised, categorised, preserved and used in official history, and in urban planning. How cities are narrated and projected will influence what kind of city it is possible to imagine, what is understood as problematic, and consequently how and for whom cities are planned and developed. This correlation between history and future-making places questions of power at the centre of urban history and development. This is the introduction to an anthology that has its origin in the conference Creating the City. Identity, Memory and Participation, in Malmö, Sweden, 9-10 February 2017, arranged by the Institute for Studies in Malmö’s History (IMH) – a research institute affiliated with the Urban Studies department at Malmö University. The conference gathered scholars from various disciplines, such as history, anthropology, literature, geography, sociology, political science and media and communication; and practitioners as archive and museum professionals, urban planners, architects and artists.

• Meaning well while doing harm : compulsory genital examinations in Sw...
  Johnsdotter, Sara   Journal article in Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters;2 : Taylor & Francis (2019)	Journal article

  

  

  English abstract:

  In this article, I discuss compulsory genital examinations in Swedish African, mainly Somali, girls. The discussion is based on data from 122 police files, including criminal investigations regarding suspected “female genital mutilation” (FGM). A growing body of research in European countries indicates that processes of cultural change are occurring among immigrant communities from areas where traditionally girls are subjected to what is construed as “circumcision”. Many studies show growing opposition to these practices among people who have migrated to Europe, and there is little evidence to support the assertion that large-scale illegal activities are prevalent. Yet there is a dominant discourse stating that FGM is secretively practised on a large scale among some immigrant groups in Europe, and policies encourage the detection of cases to charge in criminal court. I describe the current situation in Sweden and highlight some of the drawbacks of a very harsh, although well-intended, policy to check for FGM in Europe. While the ultimate aim is to protect girls at risk for FGM, current policies have ramifications that are invasive and sometimes even traumatising for the girls involved. This paper offers an empirical example of how politics in western multicultural societies may negatively influence the sexual health and rights of a target group, in this case, girls and young women whose families originate from countries where circumcision of girls is practiced.

• The “Reddening” of the X-Men: Mutantcy, Whiteness, and the Erasure of...
  Lund, Martin   Conference contribution in The Southern Studies Forum Conference : Southern Disruptions; : University of Southern Denmark, Odense (2019) Southern Disruptions (Southern Studies Forum Conference) (April 3-5, 2019 : Odense, Denmark)	Conference contribution

  

  

  English abstract:

  Mutantcy, the central metaphor of the X-Men franchise, has been many things to many people over the years: a “stand-in” for blackness, Jewishness, homosexuality, disability, and other forms of “difference” that have suffered marginalization and violence historically and in the present. At the same time, readers have been invited to inhabit this Otherness as their own, even though their experience is different, leading to the curious situation that X-Men comics uphold oppressive discursive relations even as they claim to fight them. Taking this duality as a point of departure, this paper discusses Rogue, Cannonball, and Gambit, three Southern mutants introduced by Chris Claremont (writer of X-Men/Uncanny X-Men 1975–1991) in relation to the so-called “reddening” of America in order to illustrate three points: 1) it seeks to further our understanding of the impact of the new interest in and attention paid to the South in the 1970s and onward on superhero comics; 2) it continues my ongoing work on re-framing the academic discussion about X-Men comics by further illustrating how broad, fluid, and contradictory the concept of mutantcy is; and 3) it aims to build on the growing body of work that examines the centrality of whiteness as a guiding concept in the superhero genre. Central to the paper will be the juxtaposition of the axiomatic understanding of the X-Men as having been created as a Civil Rights allegory and that the mutant metaphor is a symbol of Otherness with the inclusion of white Southern characters with seemingly no acknowledgment of how these histories clash. Thus, my paper argues that the “reddening” of the X-Men, limited though it may have been, celebrated the white South without taking into consideration the racial history of the South, a history that would have been at the center of a discussion of Southern mutantcy if blackness or racial identity had truly been at the heart of the mutant metaphor.
