Designsociologi i teori och praktik: En introduktion
Inom samhällsvetenskapliga och humanistiska forskningsfält har designorienterade ansatser fått allt större uppmärksamhet under senare år. I denna artikel presenteras och diskuteras designsociologi, ett tvärvetenskapligt fält som kombinerar sociologiska teorier med designmetoder. Ansatsen har uppmärksammats i internationella tidskrifter och böcker men det saknas svensk litteratur som behandlar området. Syftet med artikeln är därför att introducera…
Mitigation measures for addressing gender bias in artificial intelligence within healthcare settings: A critical area of sociological inquiry
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often described as crucial for making healthcare safer and more efficient. However, some studies point in the opposite direction, demonstrating how biases in AI cause inequalities and discrimination. As a result, a growing body of research suggests mitigation measures to avoid gender bias. Typically, mitigation measures address various stakeholders such as the industry, academia, and policy-makers. To the author’s …
Expanding the Methodological Repertoire in Institutional Ethnography: A Design Sociology Approach to Mapping and Visualizing Invisible Work
This article presents a novel methodological approach in which institutional ethnography borrows from design sociology. Although mapping is a core component of institutional ethnography, previous research highlights opportunities to further develop mapping techniques as both an analytical tool and a means of presenting research findings. Design sociology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that merges sociological inquiry with design methodolo…
Design Sociology in Action: Exploring and Visualizing Gendered Experiences
This article builds on Deborah Lupton's concept of design sociology. It explores the potential of this approach for examining and visualizing experiences and how they are coordinated by social institutions and discourses. Particularly the article highlights how design sociology can contribute to scholars and fields that focus on gender issues and recognize experiences as an epistemological resource. By revisiting two previous research projects, o…
The potential of incorporating norm-critical design objects as a pedagogical tool in sociology courses
Previous research has raised challenges in teaching gender theory in sociology courses. While many students appreciate such theories, some students resist sociological approaches to gender, sexualities, and social inequalities. There is a growing body of research that has recognized and explored pedagogical tools aiming to help students engage with sociological insights and concepts related to gender. However, more studies and pedagogical framewo…
Classical Sociology Through the Lens of Gendered Experiences
women's accounts in what is called classical sociology. However, limited efforts have been made to place female and male theorists' writings in juxtaposition with each other in order to demonstrate how their writings and theories differ. The aim of this article is to encourage discussion of how early female and male sociological theorists' descriptions and interpretations on the development of modern society were shaped by their own gendered expe…
Differentiations in Visibility-Male Advantages and Female Disadvantages in Gender-Segregated Programmes
This article stresses the importance of understanding that women and men in gender-segregated programmes experience their gender minority positions very differently. It stems from an interest in the kind of interventions that academia should address in order to reduce gender segregation and provide women and men with the same educational opportunities and personal development. In relation to the obvious and continuing gender differences along a h…
Norm Critical Design and Ethnography: Possibilities, Objectives and Stakeholders
The aim of this article is to describe the potential of combining norm critical design and ethnography in a collaborative project seeking to promote social change. In doing so the article will contribute with new perspectives on how design and ethnography can be practised in a joint effort between researchers and organisations. The article examines the following research questions: How can norm critical design and ethnography be used in a collabo…
Att synliggöra det osynliga. Design som aktör i jämställdhetsarbete
Research points to the need for developing methods to change established gender orders and converting gender perspectives into practical action. Based on a gender equality project at the Centre for Health Technology Halland (HCH), this article discusses the potential of critical design as an agent within the framework of gender equality work and work for change. The project worked with critical design as a tool for making visible what a gender pe…
