Misunderstood, Minimised, Misrepresented
This article explores autistic young adults' experiences of epistemic injustice in healthcare interactions where autism is invoked and a subject of misaligned sensemakings. We take a particular focus on hermeneutical injustice, which refers to the difficulty of understanding and communicating one's experiences due to gaps and biases in sensemaking resources. Earlier research concerning autistic individuals from this perspective is sparse and most…
Affective (re)orientations in online discussions on the threat of violence posed by migrants
Online discussions are rife with fear-evoking images and meaning making that highlight a perceived threat to the security of European nations and their inhabitants posed by migrants’ violence in the wake of increased immigration. This paper examines the role of emotions in shaping anti-immigration views as a response to the threat of violence attached to migrants in online conversations. Using a dataset of Finnish online discussion threads from 2…
Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence
The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current cr…

Social and Health Care Professionals’ Views on Responsible Agency in the Process of Ending Intimate Partner Violence

The …
Possibilities for Intervention in Domestic Violence
Violence is a serious problem, and social and health care providers are in a key position for implementing successful interventions. This qualitative study of 6 focus groups with professionals (n = 30) examines the health care professionals' ways of framing a domestic violence intervention. Of special interest here is how professionals see their own roles in the process of recognizing and helping victims of domestic violence. By using Erving Goff…
Making sense of domestic violence intervention in professional health care
Intervening in domestic violence in the health care and social service settings is a complex and contested issue. In this qualitative, multidisciplinary study, the barriers to but also the possibilities for health care professionals in encountering victims of violence were scrutinised. The focus was on omissions in service structure and practices. The data consisted of six focus group interviews with nurses, physicians, social workers and psychol…
The Art of Pacifying an Aggressive Client
This article explores the complex interconnection between gender and emotion in the context of client‐perpetrated violence at work, focusing on interviews with and writings by Finnish nurses and social workers to discuss the ‘feminine’ emotional skills that are supposed to prevent violence. The social formation of these skills is analysed with the concept ‘emotional habitus’: emotional skills derive from the socially acquired disposition to manag…
Gender, Care, and the Normalization of Violence

The present article looks at the similarities in the ways in which victims of occupational violence in care work and victims of intimate partner violence understand their experiences of violence. The commonalities among interpersonal relations are highlighted in order to offer new insights to the analysis of gend…
