“We Have to Do Something”: The Lived Reality of Investigating Online Child Sexual Abuse in Sweden
In this article we foreground the occupational experiences of ‘Anna’, an online child sexual abuse investigator in the Swedish police force. We do so for two main reasons: to provide a much-needed insight into the lived realities of this under-researched form of extreme work; and to progress our theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of moral injury. In relation to the former, through Anna we reveal what the work of investigating online chil…
Controversial issues in Swedish citizenship education: Teachers’ strategies
Understanding controversial issues is important for students to develop as future democratically participating citizens. However, addressing them can be challenging for teachers and there is a clear need for increased knowledge about how to deal with them in teaching. This article examines the strategies applied by civics teachers when teaching Swedish pupils of grades 7–9. We focus particularly on civics teachers as civics is an important subjec…
Burnout among school teachers: Quantitative and qualitative results from a follow-up study in southern Sweden

Holocene carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates in a boreal oligotrophic fen
The contemporary role of mires in carbon exchange with the atmosphere is intensely debated. Thus, understanding the variation in Holocene peat accumulation is particularly important. We investigated carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) accumulation rates and their potential controls during the Holocene at the oligotrophic fen Degerö Stormyr (64°11′N, 19°33′E, 270 m a.s.l.), Sweden. The peat stratigraphy was dominated by remains of Eriophorum spp. and olig…

At the centre of attention is the appare…
Fiscal Activism Under Inflation Targeting and Non‐atomistic Wage Setting
This paper presents a game between a fiscal authority, an independent central bank and non‐atomistic wage setters. The effects of fiscal activism and inflation targeting on labour market outcomes are analysed. The results suggest that inflation targeting provides incentive for wage restraint. Moreover, real wages are increasing in the degree of fiscal activism as wage setters exploit the response of a fiscal authority seeking to promote employmen…
Mellan etnologi och modern sociologi: K. Rob. V. Wikman som medlare i Finland och Sverige
Between ethnology and sociology: K. Rob. V. Wikman as a mediator in Finland and Sweden K. Rob. V. Wikman, professor in sociology at the Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland, played a central role both within Finnish and Swedish sociology in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a student of Westermarck and thus his own research represented an ethnosociological tradition, which at that time was challenged by modern, American-influenced sociological idea…
Textbooks, Syllabuses and Disciplinary Formation in Sweden
In the history of an academic discipline, it takes a while before a textbook production appears. In Sweden, a body of sociological textbooks began to develop in the 1950s. Sociology had become an independent university discipline in 1947 with a chair, given to Torgny T. Segerstedt, and a department at Uppsala University, followed gradually by the universities in Lund, Stockholm, Gothenburg and, somewhat later, Umeå. The participating authors and …
The historiography of Swedish sociology and the bounding of disciplinary identity
Bounding a scientific discipline is a way of regulating its cognitive direction as well as its relations to neighboring disciplines and extra-academic authorities. In this process of identity making, disciplinary history often is a crucial element. In this article, focusing on the historiography of Swedish sociology and the reception of Gustaf Steffen, Sweden's first professional sociologist, it is argued that Steffen's marginalized role in the t…
Medical messages in the media – barriers and solutions to improving medical journalism
Context Medical issues are widely reported in the mass media. These reports influence the general public, policy makers and health‐care professionals. This information should be valid, but is often criticized for being speculative, inaccurate and misleading. An understanding of the obstacles medical reporters meet in their work can guide strategies for improving the informative value of medical journalism. Objective To investigate constraints on …
