Internationally there is an on-going political struggle regarding whether to define prostitution as violence, sex or work. In Sweden, however, the national law that bans purchase of sexual services, by defining prostitution as violence against women, has strong support. The aim of this article is to identify and describe claims-making and mobilisat...
The aim of this article is to understand how a group of subsidised employees constructed a collective identity and symbolic community, and the role the municipal labour market programme played in that process. Further, it explores whether and how a shared collective identity and symbolic community may provide an explanation for how the ‘successful...
This article focuses on citizens’ experiences of enablers of- and barriers to obtaining
digital citizenship. E-applications for social assistance are used as an exemplar. In
Sweden, as in many countries, there is political pressure on welfare services to
become more digitalized, and to offer different kinds of self-service technology such
as e-...
This article compares Swedish social workers, teachers, and journalists’ experiences of workplace violence. It addresses similarities and differences between the three professional groups in terms of who exposed them to workplace violence, what it was about, and what triggered it. The article is based on an online survey study, and the findings sug...
Previous research has focused on how governments and public authorities can limit civil society organisations’ (CSOs) autonomy by shrinking their operational civic space and their democratic functions. There has been less attention paid to how other external actors and types of pressure might restrict access to civic space and how it can induce cop...
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the possibilities for people to interact and communicate. This article examines Swedish social workers’ experiences of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the use of digital tools in their work, and whether this use has affected the social worker–client relationship and their stress...
In the last decade, digitalized automated decision-making (ADM) has been implemented in many Swedish municipal social services to achieve values such as legal security, client empowerment and time efficiency. The paper aims to understand how ADM policy is legitimized and performed through time efficiency, by a comparison of ADM policy in two Swedis...

The study focuses on the case of the Swedish Petrol Uprising 2.0 which after a few months managed to mobilise 630,000 members on Facebook. Th...

The development of social media challenges the established conceptualizations of resources in social movements. While previous theories largely illustrated social movements as constantly searching for new and more resources, the development of social media has allowed some actors to gather and mobilize extensive resources rapidly, calling for an an...
Resources have always been at the heart of civil society theorizing. While many earlier theories have focused on resources in the forms of money, people, ideas, or personnel, recent debates highlight the Internet and social media as new environments for resource mobilization. This chapter contributes to current research by comparing the human, econ...
The social worker-client relationship is described as essential to social work but is a broad and multi-layered concept. Today, the relationship is strengthened and challenged by digitalisation. The aim of this configurative literature review is to understand how research on social work from 2015 to 2020 describes and analyses digitalisation’s sign...

People who are active in the public debate testify to a tougher climate, and a number of chairpersons for civil society organizations (CSOs) have resigned after being threatened and harassed, which has been highlighted in the media. However, our knowledge of hate speech, threats and harassment against civil society leaders is limited. The aim of th...
Although many theories have been developed and a great amount of research has been conducted on autonomy and professional discretion, knowledge on the extent to which fear of being subjected to workplace violence might restrict such autonomy and professional discretion being used is limited. This article draws on a survey study (N=1,236) and compar...
The aim of the article is to explore trade unions' use of Internet and social media in communicating with members and to understand membership in the digital era. A point of departure is that new forms of relationships between individuals and organizations are on the rise as our present societies become more digitalized, which has changed how citiz...

Socialarbetare har under senare decennier ofta beskrivits som ”lojala, lydiga och tysta” men det finns skäl att nyansera den bilden. Bortsett från att socialarbetare organiserar sig kollektivt genom främst tre fackförbund har det skapats nätverk som fungerar som en kollektiv röst för socialarbetare som är aktiva på sociala medier. Denna artikel han...

På sociala medier har det kommit nya aktörer som mobiliserar och organiserar sig under nya former, och som utmanar traditionella o...

Taking stock of previous research on information and communication technologies, social media, and political infl...

Det har skapats en svensk/skånsk avdelning på Danmarks störst...
