Playful framings of social robots in dementia care
Research on social robots in dementia care has focused on their effects, for example in relation to the patients’ wellbeing or the care-givers’ working environment. Such approaches to social robots treat them as stable objects with a singular function. Combining social gerontology with social studies of science, the current study offers a new angle by asking: How do patients and care-givers in care homes for older people establish a shared defini…
Robotic misinformation in dementia care
Robot animals, designed to mimic living beings, pose ethical challenges in the context of caring for vulnerable patients, specifically concerning deception. This paper explores how emotions become a resource for dealing with the misinformative nature of robot animals in dementia care homes. Based on observations of encounters between residents, care workers, and robot animals, the study shows how persons with dementia approach the ambiguous robot…
Digital automation and working life of HR practitioners
Human Resources (HR) has emerged as a critical target for digital automation, aiming to reduce costs, improve quality, and expedite repetitive processes within organizations. Several literature reviews have explored this topic, yielding mixed results depending on factors related to the specific national and organizational context. They have highlighted issues such as lack of competence, safety and ethical dilemmas, and bias in decision-making pro…
Can robots lie? A posthumanist approach to robotic animals and deceptive practices in dementia care
Robotic animals are designed to resemble real, living animals, but at the same time, dementia care guidelines and policies often emphasize the value of transparency in relation to robots-people should not be led to believe that robots have capacities that they in fact lack. However, it is not obvious how to separate truth from lies in everyday care practice. Based on participant observations and interviews with certified assistant nurses and nurs…

Making robots matter in dementia care
While previous research studies have focused on either caregivers' or residents' perception and use of social robots, this article offers an empirical and theoretical examination of joint activities in triadic human-robot interaction. The symptomatology of dementia creates an asymmetrical relation wherein the impetus to employ a robot often originates from the caregiver. Drawing on field work and video recorded interactions in dementia care homes…
Emotion and management
Sociologisk Forskning ger ut sin 60
I äktenskapssammanhang brukar jämna årsfiranden kläs i någon form av materialistisk symbolik, ju högre siffra desto ädlare och mer statusfylld materia. Siffran 60 förknippas vanligtvis med diamanter, som är en symbol för det okrossbara och det exceptionella tålamodet. Oavsett om det handlar om äktenskap eller om tidskrifter är det ingen självklarhet att uppnå 60 år, och detta är därför något att uppmärksamma och fira. När nu ger ut sin 60:e årgån…
Populism’s four driving emotions, and how to cultivate emotions supporting democracy
We are delighted to present this interview with world renowned sociologist Eva Illouz. She currently holds the position of Directrice d'Etudes at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and is the Rose Isaac Chair in Sociology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her research focuses on the interlinkages between capitalism, emotions, gender, culture, love, sexuality, and freedom in the modern world. This interview primarily ce…

Robotic Animals in Dementia Care
Robotic animals in the shape of cats, dogs, and seals are increasingly used in dementia care. The robots are built to respond to users’ touch and talk for various purposes such as calming, activating, or entertaining patients. Drawing on media representations, marketing materials, reports of experts, and interviews with care workers we take a closer look at the ideas of animality that shape the robots and their application in care organizations. …
En människa bland andra
Denna artikel undersöker hur äldre människor begripliggör sin situation i telefonsamtal till en stödlinje några månader in i covid-19-pandemin. Genom att använda ett vardagssociologiskt ramverk för att analysera inringares olika sätt att i samspel med stödlinjens volontärer förstå krisen, nyanserar artikeln nuvarande kunskap om äldre människors situation. Den tematiska analysen visar att inringarna begripliggör krisen i förhållande till sociala r…
