Teaching in the Age of Covid-19—The New Normal
Teaching in the Age of Covid-19—1 Year Later
In March 2020 I published the 'emergency editorial' in Postdigital Science and Education and invited the community to 'explore all imaginable aspects of this large social experiment that the Covid-19 pandemic has lain down in front of us' (Jandri 2020a: 237). Articles immediately started pouring in; within weeks, the journal's contributions had been recognized by institutions such as the World Health Organization, the US National Library of Medic…
Taking a step back for a leap forward: Policy formation for the digitalisation of schools from the views of Swedish national policymakers
The modest impact of national policy efforts on school digitalisation relates to a gap between views among policy-makers and practitioners, giving rise to complexity in translating policy into action. Acknowledging changes in governing through alternative policy formation-processes, and Ward and Parr’s (2011) arguing for the importance of strategic- and operational policy coherence, the focus of this paper is the forming of a national plan of act…

School lunches: Children's services or children's spaces
In recent years the UK government has taken a number of steps to promote ‘healthy eating’ within schools. This policy initiative has, in line with the now well established and pervasive theme of children's participation, drawn upon input from school pupils themselves. Yet despite this, we argue that there is evidence of a mismatch between the agenda of children and that of adults when it comes to school lunchtime. Using data from an evaluation of…
Parents, Power and Public Participation: Sure Start, an Experiment in New Labour Governance
This paper examines parent participation in local Sure Start partnerships within the broader context of public involvement in policy‐making processes. Public participation is set against a background where an emphasis on participatory democracy is seen as a solution to shortcomings identified with policy‐making and implementation. However, the meaning of public participation is by no means straightforward and gives rise to problems at several lev…
The privatisation of risk in school meals policies
School meals were first introduced in the UK in 1906. The remit and rationale for such policies have changed much over time and serve to illustrate shifts in approaches to the management of risk and the understanding of childhood. Initially, small numbers of children were affected, while in the middle of the 20th century collective provision meant the majority of school children consumed school dinners. This gave way to an emphasis on individual …
School Meals Policy: The Problem with Governing Children
This paper seeks to explore the role of school meals policy in the UK, and more particularly its articulation in England. It will outline the history of this policy and examine a number of changes that have taken place over time. The focus will be on nutrition and how the emphasis has shifted from issues of quantity to the composition of food eaten by children. The nutritional argument will be examined by exploring the changes in the governance o…

The Health of Two Nations; National Strategies for Public Health and Health Promotion in England and Sweden
There has been a tradition of comparative research into the health services of England and Sweden. This has focused mainly on health care financing, organisational structures and health inequalities (Anderson 1972; Helco 1974; Heidenheimer and Elvander 1980; Ham 1988; Ham et al 1990). Less attention however has been paid to the policies on, and philosophies of, public health and health promotion in the two countries. This may of course be because…
Mediating illness: Newspaper Coverage of Tranquilliser Dependence
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the value of insights from media studies for medical sociology by focusing on the cultural and ideological messages transmitted in newspaper coverage of tranquilliser dependence. An analysis of 62 stories recounting the experiences of individual tranquilliser users reveals that journalists concentrate on two kinds of person – the celebrity and the ordinary user‐ in their reports. The ways in which the pr…
