Medical Humanities in the Nordics
In recent years, researchers in the Nordic countries have increasingly come to adopt the label “medical humanities” to describe existing academic turfs on the intersections of health, culture, and society, and to bring forth new initiatives to engage with medicine from a theoretical and socio-cultural viewpoint and build collaboration with colleagues in biomedicine. Increasingly, the designation has proven to be useful in communicating to funders…

It wasn’t what I was suited for’: Regretful mothers negotiating their reproductive decision and mother role
This study contributes to our understanding of why women without a longing to have children and who, in theory, have the possibility of refraining from parenthood still become mothers. The article is based on in-depth interviews with six Swedish mothers who never longed to have children in the first place. It illustrates how they make sense of their reproductive decision-making process and their current role as a mother. The analysis shows how re…
Regretting parenthood in a family friendly, ‘gender equal’ society: Accounts from Swedish online forums
In the past decades, parents have used online forums to discuss challenges associated with parenthood, seeking support from other parents as well as professional advice. A highly sensitive topic discussed in these forums is regret about having children. Previous studies from various contexts have highlighted how regret, as expressed online, is often connected to difficulties of living up to and identifying with ideals of parenting, and that paren…
Can I take responsibility for bringing a person to this world who will be part of the apocalypse: Ideological dilemmas and concerns for future well-being when bringing the climate crisis into reproduc…
In the wake of the ongoing climate crisis and its negative effects on public health, it has been questioned by climate activists whether it is right to bring more children into the world. Moreover, according to previous scholarship, having one fewer child is the most high-impact lifestyle change individuals in developed countries can make in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But do climate awareness and recommendations to have fewer child…
Preconditions to parenthood: Changes over time and generations
Reproductive decision-making and fertility patterns change with time and place, and are influenced by contemporary societal factors. In this paper, we have studied biosocial aspects of reproductive decision-making over time and generations in a Nordic setting. The aim was to explore intergenerational changes and influences on decision-making, especially regarding preconditions to first birth. Twenty-six focus group interviews were conducted in so…

Is it an issue before it's a problem? Investigating men's talk about fertility
While fatherhood and male involvement in family life have been the focus of much research during the past few decades, we know less about men's involvement in the stage that precedes fatherhood and reproductive decision-making, their awareness of and sense of responsibility for reproductive health and fertility. This article draws attention to how men talk about fertility and reproductive intentions, focusing on how their perceptions and knowledg…
In everybody’s interest but no one’s assigned responsibility: Midwives’ thoughts and experiences of preventive work for men’s sexual and reproductive health and rights within primary care
Midwives believed that preventive work for men's sexual and reproductive health and rights was in everybody's interest, but no one's assigned responsibility. To improve men's access to sexual and reproductive health care, actions are needed from the state, the health care system and health care providers
A wonderful experience or a frightening commitment? An exploration of men's reasons to (not) have children
