“Gender Equality is Not a Neutral Topic and There is a Tension in That”: Approaching Gender Mainstreaming in Neoliberal Sweden
This article examines how Swedish public sector gender administrators position themselves in relation to gender equality as a political project. Since the 1990s, Sweden’s adoption of gender mainstreaming alongside neoliberal reforms has led to increased bureaucratization of gender equality work, with administrative gender experts tasked with monitoring and implementing depoliticized gender mainstreaming schemes across local and regional contexts.…
Entrepreneurship, Empowerment, and Development: Unraveling Economic Rationales in Sweden’s Feminist Foreign Policy
Between 2014 and 2022 Sweden operated the world’s first feminist foreign policy (FFP), which has drawn strong reactions from academics and activists alike. The overarching aim of this article is to analyze how economic objectives within Sweden’s deployment of FFP were framed and rationalized in policy programming, which has to this point received little scholarly attention. Drawing from empirical data, including government texts, published interv…
Deconstructing Exceptionalism: Surveying Afro-Swedish Feminist Perspectives on Swedish State Feminism
The Swedish state has consistently used feminism as a grounding point in domestic and foreign policy frameworks. Gender equality considerations are central in structuring Sweden’s public sector, and figure as a key component of its exceptionalist self-image. However, minority groups have critiqued the ways that their lived experiences fail to be accounted for in policy processes. This points to tensions in the ways that marginalized groups are di…
Always Gender but Not Only Gender: Operationalizing Intersectionality in Swedish Gender Equality Policy
Intersectionality is increasingly being operationalized as part of gender mainstreaming efforts across national and multilateral contexts. One prominent example can be located in Sweden’s 2015 institutional commitment to centering future gender equality policy in an intersectional analysis. This article explores the complexities of institutionalizing intersectionality in Swedish gender equality policy processes, drawing on the situated insights o…
The Work of Breastfeeding Among Women of Low Socioeconomic Status: A Qualitative Metasynthesis
A theory-generating qualitative metasynthesis was used to explore the questions: (a) How do mothers of low socioeconomic status in the United States express their attitudes and beliefs on breastfeeding? (b) How do mothers of low socioeconomic status in the United States describe the types of support received related to breastfeeding? Databases were searched from January 2000 to June 2022. Eleven qualitative studies were evaluated, and six themes …

Perceptions of Risk for Dating Violence Among Rural Adolescent Males: An Interpretive Analysis
About one in eight U.S. high school students in Grades 9 to 12 report experiencing teen dating violence (TDV) in the form of physical, sexual, or psychological dating violence in the past year in person, on school grounds, and online. Compared with their urban counterparts, rural teens face nearly double the rate of physical dating abuse and an elevated risk of experiencing multiple forms of violence. Rural young males are exposed to regional mas…
An Examination of Psychological Stress, Fatigue, Sleep, and Physical Activity in Chinese Americans
Rural young males’ acceptance & receptiveness to technology‐based interventions for dating violence prevention: A qualitative descriptive study
INTRODUCTION: Rural youth are twice as likely as urban youth to experience some forms of teen dating violence (TDV), and significant barriers to accessing support services for physical, psychological, sexual violence. However, rural youth remain understudied and undersampled. Rural young men, in particular, are at risk for experiencing or perpetrating dating violence influenced by regional and sociocultural risk factors that promote male supremac…
Exploring help-seeking experiences of Chinese immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence in the U.S
Abused Chinese immigrant women may be exceptionally isolated, and culturally specific barriers may substantially impact both their understanding of their IPV experiences and their use of services. Practitioners need training and support to engage survivors in culturally competent ways. While safety planning and other formal IPV services are critical to safety and trauma recovery, these survivors underutilize them, and community outreach is needed…
Children Exposed to IPV: Impact of Multiple Father Figures
Exploring the Daily Lives and Well-Being of Orphaned Adolescents Affected by the Armed Conflict in Thailand’s Deep South
Adolescents in Thailand’s Deep South are growing up amid protracted instability, yet limited research has left a critical gap in understanding their strengths, stressors, and unmet support needs. This study aimed to gain understanding of daily lives and well-being of orphaned adolescents in the Deep South to inform future intervention efforts. In total, 10 orphaned adolescents and their primary caregivers were recruited for study participation. A…
Living in Fear and Prioritizing Safety: Exploring Women's Lives After Traumatic Brain Injury From Intimate Partner Violence
There is increasing evidence that women are receiving a traumatic brain injury (TBI) during episodes of intimate partner violence (IPV), but little qualitative research exists around how surviving this experience impacts the lives of women. Primary and secondary data ( N = 19) were used with a constructivist grounded theory approach to explore the lives of women aged 18 to 44 years, who were living with a TBI from IPV. Women described multiple as…
A Cross-Cultural Understanding of Depression Among Abused Women
Little research has addressed depression in abused women across cultures. This review examines depression and intimate partner violence (IPV) by comparing and contrasting the IPV definitions, family dynamics, coping, and expressions of depression of women in China, Japan, India, and the United States. Findings reveal that depression is expressed differently across cultures. Somatization is commonly found in Asian countries, but it is not properly…
Intimate Partner Violence During Pregnancy: Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes
The effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on maternal and neonatal outcomes are multifaceted and largely preventable. During pregnancy, there are many opportunities within the current health care system for screening and early intervention during routine prenatal care or during episodic care in a hospital setting. This article describes the effects of IPV on maternal health (e.g., insufficient or inconsistent prenatal care, poor nutrition, i…
Negotiating Peril: The Lived Experience of Rural, Low-Income Women Exposed to IPV During Pregnancy and Postpartum
This qualitative study of 10 rural women examines their lived experience of intimate partner violence during pregnancy and the first 2 postpartum years. In-depth interviews occurred during pregnancy and 4 times postpartum. A Heideggerian approach revealed "negotiating peril" as the overarching theme; sub-themes were unstable environment, adaptive calibration, primacy of motherhood, and numb acceptance. Some incremental shifts in severity of abusi…
Pregnancy and Intimate Partner Violence: How Do Rural, Low-Income Women Cope
We conducted 32 in-depth interviews with 20 rural, low-income, women residing in the United States who were pregnant (n = 12) or 3 months postpartum (n = 8) and had experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Using purposive sampling and the grounded theory method, we generated a conceptual model of coping. The urge to protect the unborn baby was the primary influence for participants' decisions about separating from or permanently leaving an ab…
