Demands and Challenges of Internationalization in the Swedish Humanities in the Era of Academic Capitalism
This article analyzes strategies and practices among Swedish Humanities scholars in relation to the demands of “internationalization” and in a framework of academic capitalism. The article is based on 30 qualitative interviews with scholars in philosophy, Romance languages and history. There are signs of cognitive dissonance, with conflicting set of norms.

Knowledge Transfer Work
This article addresses the relationship between highly skilled international mobility and knowledge by focussing on knowledge transfer work. Empirically, this study is based on interviews of professionals in the Swedish medical field who returned to Sweden after a period of work in other countries. The medical field harbours many transnationally valid competences and standardised lines of work, but even in this field, knowledge transfer is a proc…
Temporary international mobility, Family Timing, Dual Career and family democracy. A case of Swedish medical professionals
The article, based on 43 narrative interviews with Swedish physicians and molecular biologists, discusses family timing and family management as crucial factors in temporary international mobility of highly skilled professionals. In the narratives, the family often created a kind of inertia and complication for a prolonged period of working abroad. The interviewees’ dreams and wishes had to be negotiated with a partner pursuing his/her own career…
Nyfikenhet som motivation och distinktion
The aim of this article is to analyze the meanings attributed to curiosity. Specifically, we try to understand curiosity as cultural ideal in relation to international professional mobility among physicians and researchers in the medical field. Through in-depth interviews, we discuss our informants’ view on curiosity as well as its relation to a mobility practice that affects the professional’s choice of career options and place of work and thus …
Kulturella perspektiv på högutbildades mobilitet
This special issue is based on a panel at the 33rd Ethnology and Folklore Conference in Copenhagen in 2015, and focuses on cultural perspective on international mobility of highly educated employees. The articles’ joint analytical input can be summarized in Russell King’s (2002) phrase “double embeddedness of migration”. Everyday life and people’s narrated experiences are at the heart of the articles, but the focus is also set on the intersection…
Att analysera kunskap
The aim with this article is to discuss analytical tools to understand knowledge and learning processes. Our point of departure is data from our research project about international mobility among highly skilled professionals in the medical field. In this text, we problematize how to classify and analyse different types of knowledge as physicians and medical researchers who have worked abroad and then returned to Sweden tell about their experienc…
Can financial insecurity and condescending treatment explain the higher prevalence of poor self-rated health in women than in men? A population-based cross-sectional study in Sweden
The present findings suggest that women would have as good self-rated health as men if they had similar financial security as men and were not treated in a condescending manner to a larger extent than men. Longitudinal studies are, however, required to confirm this conclusion
Making Masculinity in Plasma Physics
The aim of this article is to analyse masculinity and experimental practices among plasma physicists. The study is based on ethnographic field work with observations and interviews among experimental plasma physicists in a laboratory in the United States. Through daily practices and hands-on situations, the experimental plasma physicists defined their experimental work as strongly associated with masculinity. Both practices and discourses about w…
Bland experimentalister
This article highlights pivotal turns that might take place while collect data during ethnographic fieldwork. The author discuss how a thorough fieldwork among experimental plasma physicists and the ethnographic fieldwork in relation to Rheinberger’s concept experimental systems and how ethnography as such can be understood from the angle of being experimental
Formbar kultur i förhandling för framtid
This article deals with how co-workers in a multidisciplinary research arena can be analysed through the concept of boundary object and boundary work. A boundary object might be a scientific object or concept, in this article the concept of cultural sciences. The boundary object links persons with different disciplinary backgrounds together. This means that the boundary objects is exposed to negotiations and debating between different scientific …
