Selling Swedish Fathers
Fatherhood ideals have been changing over the last decades, and Sweden has often been seen as a fore-runner when it comes to both fatherhood policies and gender equality. In this article, we investigate how discourses about engaged, Swedish fathers and various formulations of gender equality are linked to and used in the discursive production of Sweden as a nation. We use three communication campaigns launched by the Swedish Institute (a governme…

Hegemonic Masculinity and Beyond
This article discusses the status of the concept of hegemonic masculinity in research on men and boys in Sweden, and how it has been used and developed.

The Best of Both Worlds? Fatherhood and Gender Equality in Swedish Paternity Leave Campaigns, 1976-2006
This article explores how men’s identity, capacity and responsibility as parents were understood and communicated in Swedish, government initiated, paternity leave campaigns, 1976–2006.

The result indicates that paternity leave campaigns represented something progress…

We argue that the image of contemporary hegemonic masculinity is gradually changing. Reforms and informational strategies are used to enhance and create the 'new father.' In this article, we explore and analyze how four different groups of Swedish men-Christian men, psychotherapists, a male network, and…
De nya fäderna. Om pappaledighet, jämställdhet och nya maskulina positioner
This article explores the way different groups of Swedish men experience and relate to issues concerning fatherhood, paternity leave and gender equality – how they together construct fatherhood in the field of tension between normative societal visions and their own lived reality. The study included four groups of men: men working in a centre for men in crisis, men involved in a network organization for masculinity issues, men in an assohoodciati…
