Huvudtemat i detta nummer av Socialmedicinsk tidskrift är fattigdom i välfärdsstaten. Fattigdomen börjar återigen beskrivas som ett individ betingatproblem i Sverige, vilket har lett till nya politiska strider om hur vi kan förstå problemet och hur det ska lösas. Forskningens roll i detta sammanhang är att undersöka utvecklingen över tid, analysera bakomliggande orsaker till att utsattheten ökar o
Since the transnational emergence of anti-gender mobilizations, trans people’s rights and identities have been increasingly contested. While existing scholarship has shown how anti-gender actors mobilize around the abstract common enemy of ‘gender ideology’, less attention has been paid to recent convergences against trans rights, and to the construction of trans people as targets of mobilization.
Over the past decade, scholars have extensively examined the rise of anti-gender politics in Europe. In this context, Italy is considered as a prominent battleground in the so-called «anti-gender crusade» against reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ issues, self-determination, and bodily autonomy. However, few studies have addressed the everyday digital labor that supports the widespread circulation and
Gender disparities persist as a prominent issue in academic careers, reflecting systemic biases and structural barriers that hinder advancement and contribute to the marginalization of women in precarious academic posi-tions. This article investigates gender inequalities in early careers in Italy with a specific focus on the field of Political Science. Drawing from an original da
Social movement scholarship has long examined interorganizational collaboration through diverse theoretical and methodological lenses, with relational theories and network analysis being increasingly adopted. However, empirical investigations of collaborative networks remain limited due to data collection challenges. Reviewing extant network-analytic investigations of collaborative collective acti
Indigenous Lands are critical for protecting Indigenous Peoples and the Amazon. Yet, they are increasingly exposed to socio-environmental frontiers, bringing violence, illegal resource extraction and deforestation. Urgent action is required to prevent irreversible harm to both people and forests, particularly in Brazil’s Vale do Javari Indigenous Land.
Public authorities produce policy documents (PDs) to inform and guide pandemic preparedness. Such documents were widely developed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including in Sweden. Despite this, the crisis response revealed significant shortcomings. This study examines how the preconditions for an effective and ethically responsible pandemic response are articulated in Swedish healthcare policy
Western-based LGBTQIA+ mobilisations have often been described as both internally fragmented and isolated from other social struggles. However, recent studies show that LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, queer, intersex, asexual/aromantic and other) organisations have increasingly used social media to span organisational boundaries by networking with other groups and framing common concerns
Drawing on social movements and gender studies, the article aims at exploring repertoires of action articulated by LGBTQ communities in Egypt, Tunisia, and Turkey during and after the 2011 and 2013 protests. The aim is to disentangle how LGBTQ individuals mobilized in the MENA region and which role civil society organizations and digital technologies played in the development of such mobilizations
European LGBTQIA* organizations have often been perceived as isolated from other organizations. While investigations have suggested that social media platforms foster inter-organizational ties, their role in promoting or dampening within- and cross-field interactions is understudied. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the factors shaping within- and cross-field digital interactions es
Ojämlikhet och fattigdom utgör centrala utmaningar för den svenska välfärds-staten i en tid av ökade levnadskostnader och skärpta villkor i trygghetssys-temen. Denna artikel syftar till att utveckla ett praktiknära analytiskt stöd för att förstå hur ojämlikhet formas och reproduceras inom socialt arbete. Med utgångspunkt i två empiriska studier baserade på intervjuer med 38 yrkes-verksam
Feminist social reproduction theories and approaches capture multiple scales of analysis, from everyday care work within households to the reproductive aspects of welfare systems such as health and education. Feminist thinkers draw our attention to the gendered, racialized, and classed intersections embedded within production processes, by analyzing the ecological, biological, and social dimension
