The social perspectives of energy communities in EU policy and research – a scoping review
The Clean Energy for All Europeans package, launched by the EU in 2019, provides a legal framework to guide the creation and management of energy communities (EC). According to the package, ECs are expected to aid a transition towards a renewable energy system by involving and empowering citizens, and thereby address issues such as poverty, social equity and “energy segregation”. In technical and economic terms, on the other hand, ECs are mainly …
Drivers of district heating's dominance in Sweden's urban areas: A historical perspective
District heating systems are common in the Northern Hemisphere, but their extent and position in heating markets vary. In Sweden, district heating currently supplies more than half of the demand for heating in Swedish buildings, significantly more in urban areas, with most of the district heating systems built between 1970 and 1990, motivated by the possibility of combining heat production with efficient generation of power. This analysis explain…
The Glass Funnel: A Tool to Analyse the Gender Regime of Healthcare Education and Work
The concepts glass escalator and glass ceiling have been widely used in studies of gender and organisations. In this paper we propose a novel metaphor to describe and analyse gender segregation and discrimination, that of a glass funnel. This concept does not relate to men and women as groups in the sense of fixed collective entities, but rather shows how taken-for-granted distinctions between men and women are reiterated and promote men in a way…
Principle or dialogue: Preschool directors speak about how they handle parents’ suspicions towards men
Caring for children and teaching the youngest students have a strong historical connection to women and femininity. The few men working within early childhood education and care occupy an ambivalent position. On the one hand, they often receive a positive reception in preschools; on the other, they are also met with mistrust and suspicion. The suspicion often comes from parents, and their views have come to bear increasing importance. Preschool d…
Fun guy and possible perpetrator: An interview study of how men are positioned within early childhood education and care
Many countries call for more men to be teachers in early childhood education and care (ECEC). In Sweden, the issue has been discussed since the early 1970s, but despite these discussions there is little Swedish research that examines the notions and expectations associated with male teachers. International research has found that perceptions of men in ECEC can be very ambivalent and that physical contact between the male educator and children is …
Preschool anxieties: Constructions of risk and gender in preschool teachers’ talk on physical interaction with children
Previous research shows that inexperienced preschool teachers experience anxiety in physical interaction with children. Against this backdrop, this article investigates how student-teachers and newly graduated preschool teachers talk about the risk of being accused of inappropriately touching children. This article is based on interviews with 20 women and men who recently started working in preschools, or who are soon to graduate as preschool tea…
Wolf cries: On power, emotions and critical literacy in first-language teaching in Sweden
Adopting a critical literacy perspective in teaching is about how experiences, social contexts, languages, learning and power relations interact in language development. In this article, we explore how students’ critical literacies are enhanced and hindered by emotional power relations in the classroom. We investigate what happens when emotionally charged texts – here texts about wolves in Sweden – are used in lower secondary schools. Drawing on …
Happy objects, happy men? Affect and materiality in vocational training
This article investigates the prevailing social inertia of vocational training. Previous research indicates that gendered social norms contribute to sustaining gender segregation. Few studies, however, have paid attention to how the interplay of emotional and material factors impact on gender norms in vocational training. The article builds on an ethnographic study in a Swedish upper-secondary educational programme traditionally dominated by masc…
