Research subject Children and Young People's Living Conditions, Health / Well-being and Vulnerability

The pre-school as a sexual education arena and a discursive space for educators and children.

The project takes as its starting point recent years' discussions about the inadequate work environment in Swedish preschools and examines what work environment could mean in relation to children's conditions and everyday life in preschools.

The desire to prevent and deter sexual violence has made "child privacy" a concept in an educational context, and in 2018 the preschool's privacy mission was expanded.

In our research we study constructions of children and the preschools responsibilities concerning sexuality, sex education and integrity.

A central concept in the planned work is ‘imaginal coping’, which Clark (2003) defines as the use of imagination to transform the suffering of the disease.

The project concerns conversation patterns in an institutional environment, a pediatric oncology unit at a children's hospital. Of the 50 newly diagnosed children who come to the unit each year, five children have been selected and followed up while they were in the hospital.

An ethnographic study of conversations around delicate issues.

Neuropsychiatric diagnoses fron the perspective and life course of young adults: health, identity and resistance.

How do young adults living with their parents experience and describe their housing situation, and what are their hopes for their future? How do they negotiate their relationships with other family members and close ones in relation to their housing situation?

Although intimate partner violence (IPV) is more common among youths than adults, it is unnoticed and poorly researched in Sweden. Internationally, there is a paucity of studies on young partner-violent men’s experiences of network responses, which can be decisive for the initiation, persistence and cessation of violence.

Social vulnerability as an ethical and pedagogical question.

How does "vertical living" affect the organization of children's everyday mobility and play? There is a great need for qualitative knowledge about how family background, diversity in neighborhoods, and area structure influence families' organization of children's mobility and play.

Negotiations on the child's best interests in court and family law.

The project uses life stories as a method. Empirically, it is based on in-depth interviews with 15 unaccompanied children and young people originating in Afghanistan.

This doctoral thesis project by Anders Jacobson focuses on violence prevention as a practice that intertwines teaching, values policy, methods, organization and approaches with focus on Preschool Class and School-Age Educare.

The thesis is about health work in preschool during the period 1900-1980 and is interested in both preschool health practices and preschool as an actor in broader public health work in society.

Young men’s sexual practices are surrounded by many different narratives. In media debate, policy and research, young men are understood to have the right to pleasure and enjoyment in and through sexual relations.
