Wekonomisk och social välfärd och rättvisa.2 Vår enhet har bland annat som

uppgift att ”bidra till högskolepedagogisk utveckling vid Umeå universitet ”.3 Vi ger kurser i högskolepedagogik, vilka bland annat innehåller aspekter på genus, jämställdhet, köns­ och maktmedveten pedagogik samt lika vill­ korsarbete i undervisningssammanhang. Via ett självskattningsarbete samt medarbetarsamtal blev det klart att endast två lärare vid enheten ansåg sig kompetenta och trygga med att undervisa i, om och med dessa perspek­ tiv. Detta resulterade i en intern fortbildning i form av en tre terminers lång kurs om värdegrundsarbete. Ansvariga för kursen är författarna till detta abstrakt och det blev således en blandning av internutveckling och kompetensutveckling då det var vi som både designade och genomförde kursen. Upplägget var att under drygt tre terminer träffas en eftermiddag i månaden. Fokus på träffarna har varit makt­, intersektionalitets­ och ge­ nusteori, pedagogisk tillämpning samt personlig, professionell utveckling. Vi har utgått från individens förförståelse, upplevelser och erfarenheter av värdegrundsfrågor för att sedan bygga vidare på detta genom att introducera teorier, aktuella forskningsfrågor samt inslag av beprövade erfarenheter. Eftersom värdegrund är viktig att leva och inte bara känna till valde vi att genomgående sträva efter att skapa en personlig koppling till ämnet för att förkroppsliga så väl som intellektualisera värdegrunden. Enligt kursdeltag­ arna har kursen varit lärorik, utmanande och tänkvärd. Vår position som både kursledare samt kursdeltagare har varit detsamma. Vi vill diskutera vad vi sett, vad vi trodde skulle hända och vad som verkligen hände.

Rehearsals – eight acts on the politics of listening. Wiberg Sofia, kTH Royal institute of Technology in Stockholm; petra bauer, konstfack.

Rehearsals is a co­produced research project between Sofia Wiberg, PhD, The Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, Petra Bauer, art­ ist and PhD, University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, Sweden and Tensta­Hjulsta womencenter, Sweden. Rehearsals focused on how to learn to listen, and not to understand as a political act in order to challenge segregation and discrimination with regards to knowledge production. In the western world we tend to stress the importance of having a voice and to be heard. It is often said that with a voice we be­ come political subjects (Derrida 1976). Departing from the idea that the act of listening is more radical than to be heard (Bickford 1996, Spivak 1999), we ask if we in the act of listening can create a new possibility for

When mobility becomes too high: on gender, power and work in elderly care. Öhman Ann, Umeå University.

Healthcare organizations are facing massive demands in recruiting employ­ ees with adequate competence to the increasing numbers of elderly in the population. High degrees of turnover and dissatisfaction with working con­ ditions are common. This leads to high mobility in the workforce, which in turn de­stabilizes the organization in several ways. The gendered notion of care work, in combination with low salaries and status, might contribute to negative work experiences among health professionals in elderly care. The aim of this presentation is to problematize high work force mobility, gender relations and power hierarchies in healthcare. A mixed methods approach was adopted in which open­ended responses from a national survey were mixed with qualitative research interviews with healthcare professionals in nine elderly care institutions in Sweden. The analyses revealed nine themes derived from open­ended responses in the questionnaire. The qualitative interviews revealed four prominent storylines: ‘Team social cohesion’, ‘Ca­ reer development and autonomy’, ‘Client­centeredness’, and ‘Invisible and ignored power structures’. The results show the complexity of elderly care work in a time when New Public Management is the prevalent discourse in health care. The findings describe several aspects that are important for work satisfaction among health professionals and for retaining high competence in elderly care, all in order to reduce the high turnover among staff. Work satisfaction seems to be dependent on social interrelations and cohesion in the work team, in possibilities to use humour and joy and to have fun together, and in the ability to work as professionals to provide client­centred elderly care. Power relations such as gendered hierarchies were less visible or even ignored aspects of work satisfaction.

ö Assessment beyond legal guidance. Genuineness, religion and

sexuality in asylum cases. Wikström Hanna, University of Gothenburg; Thorburn Stern Rebecca, Uppsala University.

Assessment of credibility is central to the asylum procedure, as the major­ ity of cases are determined on these grounds. In ‘identity­related cases’, such as claims based on sexual orientation or religious conversion, also the ‘genuineness’ of the sexual orientation or newly found religious faith is assessed. Assessment of genuineness means that the decision maker is required to determine if the applicant really is homosexual or really is a reli­ gious convert. In the present on­going paper we ask what genuine sexual orientation or religious belief is according to the Swedish migration au­ thorities? How are these asylum grounds discernible and what criteria are used to assess the genuineness of such claims? How do these provisions relate to the concept of ‘imputed opinion’ evident in asylum law, which concerns how others view the applicant in the country of origin regardless of the ‘genuineness’ of orientation/beliefs? In summary: What logics are discernable and how are credibility and genuineness constructed within assessment of the asylum grounds sexuality and religious conversion? The present paper is based on on­going analyses of judgments from the EU Court of Justice, and the Migration Court of Appeal and the Migration Court in Sweden. In total approximately 400 judgements will be analysed.

To cuddle with Viral companions, Pills, and Laws: ”Risk­free ” hiv and to Always Already be dying. Zetreus Vanim, Linköping University. That hiv has strong connections to notions of illness, death, and suffer­ ing is well­known within academia. Scholars and theorists from various disciplines have also argued and shown that humans go through several versions of death. They are, for example, called social, symbolic, psychi­ cal, legal, and medical deaths. Due to this EuroAmerican society’s view on death, these deaths are one and the same, that death happens when the heart stops. But they rarely ever happen all at the same time, but are spread out over long periods of time. When it comes to hiv and aids, the timeline dramatically differs from the geopolitically normative. How is that timeline reformulated as the medications conquer, and there is talk of hiv no longer being contagious? What impact has the (un)changed legal and social situation in Sweden had on experiences of dying? What kind of possible resistances, survival strategies, and alchemist immortal­

other Elsa Laula Renberg. In Norway celebration is underway: Bank of Norway is releasing an edition circulation coin, other celebrations are supported by the Norwegian State. On the Swedish side of Sábme –silence is total. As in all other issues regarding Sámi, Sámi voices are silenced, and whenever invited – mainly considered as hindrance to ”development ” or as exotic objects to show off. Being Sámi working within the colonial Swedish/European setting is hard work. As the Swedish colonial edu­ cation system erases Sámi culture and history from the curricula, every Sámi is forced to start all discussions – spoken or written ­ regarding Sámi culture with versions of the explanatory phrase ”Sábme, the territory of the Sámi, stretches across the borders of Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia. ” Gender research is no exception, maybe even worse, as feminists and gender research scholars commonly pride themselves as equal human rights promoters. Still, the majority of gender research scholars cannot state any names of prominent Sámi persons or tell anything about Sámi culture. Aspects of Sámi feminism and struggle are rarely taught, despite the field having engaged with Black/postcolonial feminism since long. Departing from work by Sámi activists (Laula Renberg 1904, Stenberg 1920) feminist scholars (Hirvonen, 1998; Kuokkanen, 2007; Öhman, 2016), I will analyze the current state of colonial and racist Swedish gender research and teaching practices, and propose ways towards de­ colonization and healing.
