A systematic review of gender and forest ownership in the global north
Research interest in gender and its implications for forest ownership in the Global North has increased over recent decades, contributing to a growing body of empirical studies. At the same time, the historical dominance of men and masculinities in forestry and forest management has shaped both policy and knowledge production, creating persistent biases in how forest ownership is understood. To assess the current state of scientific knowledge on …
Revisiting the gendered division of labour in Swedish forestry
All talk and no action? Making change and negotiating gender equality in Swedish forestry
This study analyses how women professionals make sense of change with regard to gender (in)equality in the Swedish forestry sector. While most participants described an increased focus on gender equality in the sector, perceptions of change varied. Descriptions emphasising progress observe change in the sense that an increased focus on gender equality has meant that explicit sexism is no longer tolerated. Descriptions emphasising stability, howev…
Restructuring masculinities and reshaping inequalities
Professional business‐to‐business sales work and relations tend to be interlinked with structures and symbols of certain forms of masculinity. From interviews held with office staff employed by a large male‐dominated company in the Swedish base industry, this study explores how the gendering of sales work is enabled and contested in relation to the practices and processes of specific organizations. The presented findings show how negotiations of …
Same-same but different
Conditioned openings and restraints
This article addresses how women forestry professionals articulate and interpret their experiences of being a woman and a professional in the male‐dominated context of forestry. The findings suggest that the entrance of women into forestry has created openings as well as restraints within the dominant discourses of forestry organizations. Gendered constructions of skills and a workplace culture described as built on homosocial values cause women …
The Discursive Resistance of Men to Gender-equality Interventions
This article adds to the understanding of men's discursive resistance in relation to gender-equality interventions at work. Using Swedish men forestry professionals as the empirical base, the result shows how discursive resistance were performative acts, part of the construction of the same gender-equality interventions and organizational contexts that they were perceived to describe. In this case, direct opposition to gender equality provided a …
Constituting gender and gender equality through policy
Purpose In Sweden, gender mainstreaming policies have a long political history. As part of the national gender equality strategy of the Swedish forest industry, the ten largest forestry companies committed themselves to gender mainstream their policies. Limiting the impact of policies and the agency of change, the purpose of this paper is to focus on the varied and conflicting meanings and constitution of the concepts, the problem and, in extent,…
Adaptation to climate change? Why business-as-usual remains the logical choice in Swedish forestry
The two latest IPCC assessment reports have concluded that knowledge is not sufficient for inducing action on climate change. This study problematizes the issue of going beyond business-as-usual through a study of the forestry sector in Sweden, which is a large economic sector and could be expected to be an early adapter, given that newly planted forest may stand some 70–90 years into the future. Therefore resources, economic motivation in the lo…
Creating alternative spaces and articulating needs
Technology use in Swedish reindeer husbandry through a social lens
Rationalizing production more effectively, technological developments and innovations also have effects on, for example, skills, knowledge and social relations, that connect the specific technique to large processes and rationalities. In the conflict between user rights and ownership rights in northern Sweden, the introduction of new techniques within reindeer husbandry is studied on a local and embodied level. Through observations and interviews…
