Defiant, Antisocial or Agents of Social Justice? Understanding Children’s Resistances as Epistemic and Social Justice Issues
The concept of epistemic injustice, as discussed by the feminist philosopher Miranda Fricker, has helped to discern a distinctively epistemic form of harmful and unjust treatment based on identity prejudices such as those of gender, race/ethnicty, and class. In this essay, I focus on epistemic injustice issues specifically in childhoods and as suffered by children. Children are commonly viewed as irrational or cognitively and morally immature, he…
Unlearning nationalised social work in times of rising right-wing populism
Recent political changes in Sweden are undermining social work as a human rights profession by accentuating it once again as nationalised and citizenship oriented. This commentary addresses the Tidö Agreement that immerses social work into a politics of surveillance of undocumented migrants. Writing from the perspective of a lecturer who works for internationalisation in a university setting, I provide critical reflections on what internationalis…
Broadening Ethnographic Following
George Marcus's methodology for multi-sited ethnography is widely discussed and applied in anthropology and the strategy of 'following the conflict' has been a fruitful approach to studying controversies and conflicts. Drawing on my shifting methodology in the initial stages of a digital ethnography project on vaccination-related online community forums, I explore 'the war' on vaccines using a broadened strategy that includes following agreements…
De/gendering violence and racialising blame in Swedish child welfare
This article is a critical interrogation of how gender and power figure in Swedish child welfare policy and the discourses on violence in intimate relationships vis-à-vis children exposed to violence. Drawing on feminist violence research, critical childhood studies, and intersectional perspectives, we identify a differentiation with racialised undertones in the understanding of violence as a social problem when related to children’s exposure. Wh…
Gender- and power sensitivity, securitisation and social peace
This article offers a rethinking of protection based on synthesised data from Finland and Sweden on children’s and mothers’ experiences of post-separation stalking, and social workers’ case reports on children risking exposure to gender-based violence after separation. Drawing on critical childhood studies and a feminist approach to violence and security, we ask how children’s everyday lives can be incorporated in a rethinking of protection for c…
Speaking bodies – silenced voices
Using the metaphors body and voice and drawing on critical contributions on biopolitics, this article interrogates children’s participation rights in a knowledge culture of ‘evidencing’. With child welfare and protection practice as an empirical example, I analyse written assessment reports from a Swedish child welfare agency, all exemplifying how social workers evidence needs for protection and reasons for removing children from the home. I disc…
Social change in developmental times? On 'changeability' and the uneven timings of child welfare interventions
While temporality has been addressed in the context of child welfare, the temporal dimensions of differentiation and othering remain unacknowledged. This article draws on material from a Swedish child welfare agency and is theoretically inspired by postcolonial and queer theories and critical childhood studies. It is based on an analytical juxtaposition of care order applications recommending immediate child welfare interventions versus intervent…
A Cry for Care But not Justice
This study explores the pivotal role of the body for political recognition and rights claims in child welfare “moral” interventions. I examine how the bodily figures in child welfare assessments, linking these manifestations to the concept of the moral economy of care. A sample of assessment reports from a Swedish municipality, all addressing violations of children’s bodies or integrity, are used as empirical material. I show how the psychosomati…
Amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal
This article is a discursive examination of children's status as knowledgeable moral agents within the Swedish child welfare system and in the widely used assessment framework BBIC. Departing from Fricker's concept of epistemic injustice, three discursive positions of children's moral status are identified: amoral, im/moral and dis/loyal. The findings show the undoubtedly moral child as largely missing and children's agency as diminished, deviant…
