Digital vulnerabilities
Recent global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, wars and migration streams, have highlighted the promise of digital infrastructures while also showcasing how dependent we are on digital systems for accessing welfare services such as healthcare, social services and education, as well as for accessing public service media. Notably, in the context of welfare provision, different people and social groups are affected in distinct ways by such d…
The Uneven Geographies of Platformised Care
Platforms mediating care services are increasingly reshaping the geographies of social reproduction, offering care fixes to some, while exacerbating the crisis of care for others. In this paper, we draw on research on healthcare, deliveries and cleaning platforms in Sweden to argue that platforms reinforce and redistribute flows of care privilege and care poverty between the Global North and the Global South, between urban and rural locations, an…
Revolutionize medicine as we know it”
Data forms an integral part of the future imaginaries of healthcare's digital transformation. To this end, the EU is launching the European Health Data Space (EHDS), intended to improve care provision and research by facilitating the exchange of patient health data within a pool of citizens spanning the European Union. This article explores this meeting of public healthcare systems with data economies, focusing on how the European Commission inte…
The complexities of smartification
Smart cities build on visions for using technology to optimise various infrastructural functions andãmake city management more efficient, sustainable, and reliable. However, scholarship on smart cities has drawn attention to how data-centric planning simplifies the complexity of the urban environment and how a dichotomous approach to smart cities as either top-down or bottom-up may be overly reductive. This paper attempts to remedy this divide by…
The role of sensors in the production of smart city spaces
Smart cities build on the idea of collecting data about the city in order for city administration to be operated more efficiently. Within a research project gathering an interdisciplinary team of researchers - engineers, designers, gender scholars and human geographers - we have been working together using participatory design approaches to explore how paying attention to the diversity of human needs may contribute to making urban spaces comforta…
Sustainability Means Inclusivity
The challenge of how cities can be designed and developed in an inclusive and sustainable direction is monumental. Smart city technologies currently offer the most promising solution for long-term sustainability, but the impact of such solutions will be significantly reduced without long-term, widespread adoption by citizens. In this article, we present the rationale behind an ongoing interdisciplinary research project titled “Sustainability mean…
Precarious leisure in a teenage wasteland? Intertwining discourses on responsibility and girls’ place-making in rural Northern Sweden
The relationship with place has been recognized as a significant dimension of rural youth leisure, both through the discursive constructions of place, but also as affective and embodied dimensions. This study captures these processes by applying the concept of place-making as a set of recurrent discursive processes, analyzing how girls in Northern Sweden engage in place-making alongside, beyond, and in contrast to dominant discourses on leisure, …
