Nordic early childhood education policies and virulent nationalist trends
This article was initiated by our discomfort regarding recent policy developments in Nordic early childhood education (ECE) where previous decades’ policies on creating solidarity, equality and universal access to social welfare and promoting democratic participation are seemingly waning. While from a global perspective, these policies might seem inclusive and democratic, if understood within the context of Nordic policy frames and broader policy…

Can you teach me a little Urdu?’ Educators navigating linguistic diversity in pedagogic practice in Swedish preschools
According to the national framing of the Swedish preschool system, educators are expected to act as mediators of the dominant language while simultaneously promoting multilingualism. Previous research shows that educators display an insecurity as well as a lack of knowledge of how to implement this dual undertaking. This article examines educators’ dual undertaking of linguistic diversity (changeability), on the one hand, and a national standard …
The becoming of a Swedish preschool child? Migrant children and everyday nationalism
The article examines how migrant children in Sweden are fostered to become ‘Swedish’ in a preschool setting aiming to integrate them and their families into the Swedish society. The analysis, where Bernstein’s (1971, 2000) concepts of classification, framing, and reconceptualization are used, shows how the children are fostered against a background of everyday nationalism, produced in preschool curriculum, recontextualized in the talk of the educ…
Colliding collaboration in student-centred learning in higher education
The paper deals with the assumption that student-centred learning enhances students’ sense of involvement and facilitates a recontextualization of their experiences into valid knowledge in an academic context. Bernstein’s concepts of classification and framing of knowledge and his distinctions between horizontal and vertical knowledge codes are used to explore these assumptions, focusing on the regulation of educational knowledge in one case of s…
Ekonomisk historia, akademiska miljöer och kvinnliga forskare
In this article we take a closer look at the roles of female researchers at our own department, the Department of Economic History at the University of Uppsala. Looking at career development and opportunities for women researchers we have used as a model three strategies formulated by Gerholm and Gerholm, the succession strategy, the subversion strategy, and the postponed subversion strategy. It is clear that the latter seems to have been the mos…
