<p>Drag Cuisines is an interdisciplinary study of the cultural, social, and historical interconnectedness of veganism, queerness, and animality. To interrogate these links requires mixed methods such as the collection of oral histories with self-identified queer vegans, analysis of animal themes in queer film and literature, social media analysis, and analysis of food cultures and restaurant rhetorics. Following work by prominent American Studies scholars, this project posits that the practice of veganism embodies queer performativity in how queerness and animality are ontologically linked.</p>

[pt] Na virada autoritária/conservadora, o gênero está no cerne tanto dessa nova convergência da direita – funcionando como mais do que uma cola simbólica –quanto na resistência a esse desmonte democrático. Assim, esta pesquisa analisa como os Movimentos Sociais de Gênero e as Redes Feministas Transnacionais estão resistindo a essa virada autoritária/conservadora, com foco no estudo de caso húngaro. Através do conceito de solidariedade interseccional, esta tese argumenta que coalizões entre grupos populares de gênero e Redes Feministas Transnacionais são uma importante forma de resistência, permitindo a sobrevivência de movimentos de gênero em casos extremos de governo autoritário/conservador, como o regime de Orbán, e, adicionalmente, desenvolver coalizões transformadoras por meio das diferenças. / [en] In the authoritarian/conservative turn, gender is in the core of both this new convergence of the Right – working as more than a symbolic glue- and also in the resistance to this democratic dismantling. Hence, this research analyzes how Gender Social Movements and Transnational Feminist Networks (TFN) are resisting in this authoritarian/conservative turn, focusing on the Hungarian case study. Drawing on the concept of intersectional solidarity, this research argues that coalitions among gender grass root groups and TFNs are an important form of resistance. Those coalitions enable gender movements survival in extreme cases of authoritarian/conservative governments, as Orbán s regime, and develop transformative praxis through differences.

Amid rapid urbanization in the early XXI century, Swedish countryside faced with 2 interconnected sociodemographic problems: depopulation caused by outmigration of the young and ageing of the remaining citizens. Nowadays, many rural municipalities commit to growing back their inhabitant figures and emphasize sustainable living environment for new generations. However, though modern countryside has the potential to provide quality hybrid and remote work conditions, as well as social services and care for their inhabitants, there are matters in which rural areas fall behind cities, and sustainable multimodal mobility is among them. This thesis explores the interconnection between pedestrian and cycling mobility infrastructure development and the attractiveness of a place for middle-aged people, willing to live outside the city. The goal of the paper is to identify public needs in commuting options for them and their families and align these inquiries to strategic planning goals and priorities. To achieve this, qualitative approach was selected to study common perceptions of mobility problems and development potential, as well as feelings and attitudes planners and local inhabitants express when discussing their personal and professional experiences of living and travelling in the countryside. Being guided by the intersectionality perspective, which requires inclusion and engagement of diverse parties into the planning process, the thesis attempts to reconcile the two perspectives on pedestrian and cycling mobility development in a small Swedish rural municipality of Vingåker and answer the question why it is important to address pedestrian and cycling mobility in rural areas to enhance rural repopulation potential.

Uppsatsen är en motivstudie av hur den skrivande kvinnan skildras i romanerna Ingen manskvinna (1919) av Ulla Bjerne, Kärlek i Europa (1981) av Birgitta Stenberg och Grand final i Skojarbranschen (2011) av Kerstin Ekman. Motivet av den skrivande kvinnan och hur hon förhåller sig till sitt skapande utifrån könsnormativa förväntningar, analyseras utifrån ett genusteoretiskt perspektiv med Beverly Skeggs respektabilitetsteori som ramverk. Jag använder även ett intersektionellt perspektiv som analysverktyg. Uppsatsen använder sig också av genreteori utifrån konstnärsromanen och dess konventioner, som behandlas och undersöks i förhållande till de valda romanerna. / The paper is a study of how the female writer is portrayed in the Swedish novels Ingen manskvinna [No man’s women] (1919) by Ulla Bjerne, Kärlek i Europa [Love in Europa] (1981) by Birgitta Stenberg and Grand final i skojarbranschen [Grande finale in the humbug game] (2011) by Kerstin Ekman. The analysis of the novels portrayed female writer and how her writing interacts with society’s gender roles, are based on a gender theory, with Beverly Skeggs theory of respectability as the theoretic framework. I also make use of an intersectional theory as an analytic tool. The purpose of the paper is also to apply genre studies and investigate the form and conventions of the artist novel and how the selected novels relate to the genre.

This thesis will explore the intersectional construction of the British asylum network in the nineteenth century. It will look at gender, race, and class as factors in the diagnostic process, in addition to the confinement and treatment of the insane.

La présente étude a pour objectif de comprendre l’expérience d’itinérance des femmes inuit du Nunavik installées à Montréal dans les trois phases de leurs trajectoires, soit le prédéplacement, le déplacement et le postdéplacement. Le cadre d’analyse privilégié est celui de l’approche intersectionnelle, car il invite à reconnaître la pluralité des composantes identitaires qui s’entrecroisent de façon unique dans l’expérience personnelle et collective, et amènent les femmes à cumuler les sources de vulnérabilité. Cette approche privilégie l’étude du point de vue des femmes marginalisées en leur laissant la parole, ce qui a été fait grâce à la méthode des récits de vie. L’échantillon a été construit sur la base de deux groupes afin d’explorer l’expérience d’itinérance incluant la sortie : cinq participantes étaient itinérantes et six autres se disaient sorties de la rue au moment des entretiens. Cette recherche a été développée en collaboration avec une interprète culturelle et linguistique. Les données proviennent d’observations, d’une informatrice-clé et de vingt-et-une entrevues. Dix des onze participantes ont été rencontrées à deux reprises. Après une première entrevue non directive, le récit de vie de chacune a fait l’objet d’une analyse thématique et a été recomposé sous forme de trajectoire résumée graphiquement. La seconde entrevue démarrait par la présentation de cette trajectoire résumée pour inviter les femmes à participer à une validation des données en plus d’enrichir leur récit. Les résultats confirment certains résultats d’études tout en apportant des éléments nouveaux. Par exemple, le handicap, conjugué au genre, expose particulièrement les femmes inuit à la violence communautaire et interpersonnelle au Nunavik. Les commérages, perçus comme abusifs et oppressants par les femmes, font partie d’une intense violence communautaire au Nord et motivent le déplacement de celles-ci vers Montréal. Avec la récente sédentarisation, la vie en grande proximité exacerbe l’importance des commérages. Quant à la sortie de rue, elle est particulière aux femmes inuit : le copain détient un pouvoir d’inflexion de leurs trajectoires d’itinérance. Les femmes conçoivent le copain comme une clé culturelle leur donnant accès au système de logement puisqu’il connaît les rouages culturels et structurels de la vie à Montréal. / This study aims to understand the homelessness experience of Inuit women native to Nunavik who are living in Montreal in the three stages of their trajectories: pre-displacement, displacement and post-displacement. An intersectional approach was chosen as the appropriate analytical framework because it allows the recognition of the plurality of the components of these women’s identities, which intersect in a unique way throughout their personal and collective experiences, and cause them to cumulate sources of vulnerability. This approach favours the study from the point of view of the marginalized women by giving them a voice, which has been made possible here with the life history method. The sample was composed of two groups in order to explore the experience in and out of homelessness, as five participants were homeless and six others claimed to have gotten off the streets at the time of the interviews. This research was done with the help of a linguistic and cultural interpreter. The data sources were: observations, a key informant and twenty one interviews. Ten of the eleven participants were interviewed twice. After a first non-directive interview, a thematic analysis of each participant’s life story was conducted and their stories were recomposed graphically in order to form summarized trajectories. The second interview started off with the presentation of each individual’s summarized trajectory so that these women may validate the data and enhance each of their stories. The results of this study confirm the results of previous ones, while also adding new elements. For example, the handicap conjugated to gender particularly exposes Inuit women to community violence and interpersonal violence in Nunavik. Perceived as abusive and oppressing to women, gossip is an element of the intense community violence in the North and motivates them to move to Montreal. With the recent adoption of a sedentary lifestyle, living in closeness exacerbates the intensity of this gossip. The getting off the streets is particular for Inuit women: the boyfriend holds the inflexion power on their homelessness trajectories. Women think of their boyfriend as a cultural key that gives them access to the housing system because he knows the cultural and structural mechanisms of Montreal’s life. / ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑐᕌᒐᖃᕐᑐᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᒐᓱᐊᕐᓂᒥᒃ ᐊᕐᓇᓂᒃ ᐃᓄᑐᐃᓐᓇᐅᓱᑎᒃ ᓄᓇᕕᒻᒥᐅᔭᓂᒃ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᔪᓂᒃ ᒪᓐᑐᕆᐊᓪᒥ ᐱᖓᓱᐃᓕᕿᖓᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᐊᕐᖁᓯᓂᖏᓐᓂ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᓚᐅᕋᓂ ᓇᓃᓐᓂᕕᓂᖓ, ᐊᐅᓪᓚᓂᕕᓂᖓ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᓕᕐᓂᖓᓗ. ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᐊᒥᓱᐃᓄᑦ ᐱᓇᓱᐊᕐᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᑦᓯᐊᕈᑎᐅᒐᓱᐊᕐᓱᑎᒃ ᖃᓄᐃᓕᖓᓂᐅᔪᓂᒃ ᐊᑑᑎᔭᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖅ ᐊᒥᓱᓃᑦᓱᓂᓗ ᓱᒧᓪᓗ ᐊᑦᑕᓇᕐᑐᒦᑎᒻᒪᖔᑕ. ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᐊᕐᓇᓂᒃ ᓂᐱᖃᕐᑎᓯᔪᑦ ᑐᑭᓯᑦᓯᐊᕈᑎᐅᒍᓐᓇᑐᑦ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᖅ ᐅᓂᒃᑲᐅᓯᖏᒍᑦ ᐃᓅᓯᕐᒥᓂ. ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᐅᑎᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᒪᕐᕈᐃᓂᒃ ᑐᑭᓯᒐᓱᐊᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᓱᑎᒃ ᖃᓄᐃᑦᑐᑰᓲᖑᒻᒪᖔᑕ ᐃᓚᐅᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᒍᓐᓀᓂᕐᒧᑦ ᑎᑭᐅᑎᓂᖅ: ᑕᓪᓕᒪᑦ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᓚᐅᔪᑦ ᐱᖓᓲᔪᕐᑐᓗ ᐊᐱᕐᓱᑕᐅᓂᖃᕐᑎᓗᒋᑦ ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᒍᓐᓀᓂᕋᓚᐅᔪᑦᓱᑎᒃ. ᑕᒪᓐᓇ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᐅᓯᒪᔪᖅ ᐊᑑᑎᓚᐅᔪᖅ ᐃᓗᕐᖁᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᑐᑭᓯᒪᔪᒥᒃ ᐱᓇᓱᐊᖃᑎᖃᕐᓱᑎᒃ ᑐᓵᔨᖃᕐᓱᑎᓪᓗ. ᑖᒃᑯᐊ ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᐱᔭᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᑕᑯᓐᓇᓱᒋᑦ ᖃᓄᐃᓘᕐᓂᖏᑦ, ᑐᑭᓯᑎᑦᓯᔨᓂᑦ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐊᕙᑎᓪᓗ ᐊᑕᐅᓯᕐᓗᓂᑦ ᐊᐱᕐᓱᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᓂᑦ. ᖁᓕᑦ ᖁᓕᓪᓗ ᐊᑕᐅᓯᕐᓗᓂᑦ ᐊᐱᕆᔭᐅᓚᐅᔪᓂᑦ ᒪᕐᕈᕕᑦᓱᑎᒃ ᐊᐱᕆᔭᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ. ᓯᕗᓪᓕᐹᒥ ᑐᕃᓐᓇᖏᑦᑐᓂᒃ ᐊᐱᕆᔭᐅᒍᑎᖃᕐᓱᑎᒃ ᐃᓅᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᑐᑭᓯᓇᕐᑎᓯᑦᓱᑎᒃ. ᑐᖓᓕᐊᓂ ᐊᐱᕆᔭᐅᓂᖓ ᓴᕐᕿᑎᑦᓯᒍᑎᐅᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᐅᓂᒃᑲᐅᓯᖏᑦ ᓱᓕᑦᓯᐊᒪᖔᑕ ᓈᒻᒪᓈᕐᓯᒪᑦᓯᐊᒪᖔᑕ. ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕈᑎᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ ᓱᕐᖁᐃᓯᒍᑎᐅᔪᑦ ᐃᓚᒋᐊᕆᒍᑎᐅᑦᓱᑎᓪᓗ ᓄᑖᓂᒃ. ᐆᑦᑐᕋᐅᑎᒋᓗᒍ, ᐃᓗᓯᕐᓘᑎᖃᕐᓂᖅ, ᓴᕐᕿᔮᓗᐊᖕᖑᐊᓲᑦ ᐊᑑᑎᔭᐅᑦᓱᑎᒃ ᐊᕐᓇᓄᑦ ᓄᓇᕕᒻᒥ ᓄᓇᓕᒻᒥᓂ ᐱᓗᑲᑦᑕᐅᓂᖅ ᓇᒻᒥᓂᕐᓗ. ᒪᖓᑦᓯᖃᑦᑕᓂᖅ ᓵᓚᕐᖄᖃᕈᑎᐅᑎᓪᓗᒍ ᐊᕐᓇᓂᒃ ᐊᑑᑎᔪᒻᒪᕆᐊᓗᒃ ᑕᕐᕋᒥ ᓄᓇᓕᓐᓂ ᑖᒃᑯᓄᖓᓗ ᐊᐅᓪᓛᓚᕿᓯᒪᒍᑎᐅᑦᓱᓂ ᒪᓐᑐᕆᐊᓪᒧᑦ. ᓄᓇᓕᒻᒨᔭᕐᑕᐅᖃᒻᒥᐅᑎᓪᓗᒋᑦ ᒪᖓᑦᓯᖃᑦᑕᓂᖅ ᐃᓄᓐᓂᒃ ᓱᕐᕃᓯᒪᔪᒻᒪᕆᐅᒻᒪᑦ. ᑕᒪᓂᕐᕿᓚᕿᓯᖃᑦᑕᑐᑦ ᐊᕐᓇᓗᐊᖕᖑᐊᑦ: ᐃᑦᑐᓱᒥᓄᑦ ᐊᐅᓚᑕᐅᓂᕐᓗᓱᑎᒃ ᐊᕐᖁᑎᒥᐅᕈᖃᑦᑕᑐᑦ. ᐊᕐᓀᑦ ᐊᐅᓪᓛᓗᑎᒃ ᐊᓂᕐᕋᑖᕈᓐᓇᕈᒪᑦᓱᑎᒃ ᑕᒪᑐᒥᖓ ᐊᑑᑎᓚᕿᖃᑦᑕᑐᑦ ᐱᐅᓯᐅᔪᑦ ᒪᓕᑦᓱᒋᑦ ᐃᓅᖃᑎᒌᓂ.

<p>Den här uppsatsen är en studie om föräldrar och föräldraskap. Vårt syfte med studien är att se hur företrädare för två instanser gör bedömningar av föräldrar som anses brista i sin omsorgsförmåga. De valda instanserna är en myndighetsinstans och en utförarinstans. Våra frågor i studien är: hur beskriver de nämnda organisationerna ett gott föräldraskap/ föräldraförmåga? Vilka faktorer vägs in i bedömningen av föräldraförmågan? Vilka riktlinjer/ arbetsmodeller utgår organisationerna ifrån? I vilken utsträckning samverkar organisationerna kring stöd och bedömning? Det här är en empirisk studie, där vi har intervjuat företrädare för två instanser, totalt fyra grup-per. Vi har använt hermeneutisk tolkning för att se på det empiriska materialet. Vår analys är grundad utifrån systemteori, intersektionalitet och samverkansteori. Begreppen vi undersökt är gott föräldraskap och tillräckligt bra. Synen på begreppet tillräckligt bra/ good enough varierade beroende på om de var på svenska eller engelska. Överlag är gott föräldraskap när den känslo-mässiga och fysiska omsorgen står i relation till barnets behov. Resultatet som vi kommit fram till är att dessa två instanser har samsyn kring de begrepp som vi undersökt. Vidare beskriver denna studie förutsättningarna för samverkan samt betydelsen av att sträva mot ett gemensamt språk. Vår slutsats är att dessa begrepp, framförallt tillräckligt bra, är väldigt subjektiva och att det är svårt att skriva ner kriterier. Detta beror på att det handlar om människor. Vidare visar denna studie även att instanserna samverkar med varandra kring männi-skor. I diskussionsdelen beskrivs det socialpedagogiska förhållningssättet som inkluderar det salutoge-na perspektivet, intersektionalitet och empowerment.</p> / <p>This paper is a study about parents and parenting. Our purpose with this study is to see how rep-resentatives from two authorities make valuation of parents that lack parenting skills. The chosen authorities are an authority and one performer of task. Our questions are: defined by the authori-ties – what do good parenting mean? Which factors are considered in an assessment of parents? What kind of guidelines/ work models do the organisations have? To what extent do these two authorities collaborate around support and assessment? This is an empirical study, were we have interviewed representatives from two authorities, in total four groups. We have used hermeneutic interpretation to look at the empirical material. Our analy-sis is built on the system theory, intersectional analysis and collaboration theory. The terms we examined were good parenting and good enough. The view of the term good enough depended on if the term was in Swedish or in English. Overall, good parenting is when the emotional and physical care is in relation to the needs of the child. The result we found was that these two authorities share the same view on the terms that we ex-amine. Further on we describe the condition for collaboration and the meaning of reaching for the same “language”. Our conclusion is that these terms, especially good enough, is very subjective and that it´s hard to write down criteria’s. This because it´s all about people. This study also shows that the authorities work together around people. In the discussion describes the social pedagogues’ approach that includes a salutogen perspective, intersectional analysis and empowerment.</p>

The majority of Swedish boys and girls have good psychosomatic health. Despite that the risk of mental health problems such as nervousness, feeling low and sleeping difficulties has increased steadily in recent decades. Moreover, previous surveys on health and well-being indicate that boys and girls of foreign extraction in Sweden are at increased risk of ill health compared to boys and girls of Swedish background.   The main aim of this thesis was to analyse health and social determinants among boys and girls of foreign extraction in Sweden. The factors explored in papers I–IV include parental background, family affluence and gender and their associations with subjective health complaints, psychosomatic problems or health risk behaviours. Other included risk factors for ill health were involvement in bullying, low participation and discrimination at school. This thesis takes an intersectional perspective, with ambitions to be able to emphasize the interplay between different power relations (i.e. gender, social class and parental background).   Two sets of cross-sectional data were used. Three papers were based on the Swedish part of the World Health Organization’s Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children. The sample consisted of 11,972 children (boys n = 6054; girls n = 5918) in grades five, seven and nine from the measurement years 1997/98, 2001/02 and 2005/06. The response rate varied between 85 and 90%. About one fifth of the included children were of foreign extraction. For the fourth paper regional data from Northern Sweden were used. Boys (n = 729) and girls (n = 798) in grades six to nine answered a questionnaire in 2011 and the response rate was 80%. About 14% of the included children were of foreign extraction. Statistical methods used were chi-square test, correlation analyses, logistic regression analyses, cluster analyses and test of mediating factor.   The results showed that girls of foreign background were at increased risk of subjective health complaints (SHC) and boys of mixed background were at increased risk of psychosomatic problems (PSP). Increased risk of allocation to the cluster profile of multiple risk behaviour was shown in boys and girls of mixed background, in girls of foreign background and in girls of low family affluence. Increased risk of allocation to the cluster profile of inadequate tooth brushing was shown in boys and girls of foreign background and in girls of low family affluence. General risk factors for increased risk of ill health for boys and girls in Sweden were: any form of bullying involvement, low family affluence, low participation and discrimination at school, of which the latter also was a mediating factor for ill health. Living with a single parent was a risk factor for ill health among girls.   The results can function as a basis for developing health promotion programmes at schools that focus on social consequences of foreign extraction, family affluence, participation as well as health risk behaviours and gender. / Majoriteten av flickorna och pojkarna i Sverige har en god psykosomatisk hälsa. Trots det har risken för psykiska hälsosymptom såsom nervositet, att känna sig nere och sömnsvårigheter ökat successivt de senaste årtiondena. Dessutom indikerar tidigare forskning angående hälsa och välmående att flickor och pojkar med utländsk härkomst har ökad risk för ohälsa jämfört med flickor och pojkar med svensk härkomst.   Denna avhandlings huvudsyfte var att analysera hälsa och sociala bestämningsfaktorer bland flickor och pojkar i Sverige, med fokus på föräldrabakgrund. Artiklarnas (I–IV) syften inkluderar föräldrahärkomst, familjens materiella tillgångar och genus samt dess samband med subjektiva hälsobesvär, psykosomatiska problem eller hälsoriskbeteenden. Andra riskfaktorer för ohälsa som inkluderades var inblandning i mobbning, lågt deltagande och förekomst av diskriminering på skolan. Denna avhandling beaktar ett intersektionellt perspektiv med ambitionen att kunna tydliggöra samspelet mellan olika maktordningar (dvs. genus, social klass och föräldrabakgrund).   Två dataset från tvärsnittsstudier har använts. I de tre första artiklarna användes World Health Organization – Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children, som i Sverige heter Svenska skolbarns hälsovanor. Studiepopulationen bestod av 11 972 barn (flickor n = 5918; pojkar n = 6054) i årskurserna fem, sju och nio undersöknings år 1997/98, 2001/02 och 2005/06. Svarsfrekvensen var mellan 85 och 90 %. Ungefär en femtedel av barnen som deltog hade utländsk härkomst. I den fjärde artikeln användes regional data från norra Sverige. Flickor (n = 798) och pojkar (n = 729) i årskurserna sex till nio deltog i studien år 2011, svarsfrekvensen var 80 %. Omkring 14 % av barnen hade utländsk härkomst. De statistiska metoder som användes var sambandstest (chi-två), test av linjära samband så kallade korrelationsanalyser, logistisk regressionsanalys, klusteranalys och test av medierande faktor.   Resultaten visade att flickor med utländsk bakgrund hade ökad risk för subjektiva hälsobesvär (SHC) och pojkar av mixbakgrund hade ökad risk för psykosomatiska problem (PSP). Ökad risk för att hamna i klusterprofilen multipelt hälsoriskbeteende hade flickor och pojkar med mixbakgrund, flickor med utländsk bakgrund samt flickor i familjer med låg nivå av materiella tillgångar. Ökad risk för att hamna i klusterprofilen bristande tandborstning hade flickor och pojkar med utländsk bakgrund och flickor i familjer med låg nivå av materiella tillgångar. Generella riskfaktorer för ohälsa bland flickor och pojkar i Sverige var: alla former av inblandning i mobbning, låg nivå av materiella tillgångar i familjen, lågt deltagande och förekomst av diskriminering på skolan, vilken den senare även var en medierande faktor för ohälsa. Att leva med en ensamstående förälder var en riskfaktor för ohälsa bland flickor.   Avhandlingens resultat kan ligga till grund för utformande av hälsofrämjande interventioner inom elevhälsan, till exempel interventioner som fokuserar på sociala konsekvenser av utländsk härkomst, familjens materiella tillgångar, deltagande och diskriminering samt hälsoriskbeteenden och genus.
