I denna bok presenteras feministiska teorier och begrepp tillsammans med fördjupande exempel på hur de kan tillämpas i forskning. Boken kan användas i diskussioner om kön, genus och feministiska perspektiv, men också som redskap då dessa frågor och perspektiv ska integreras med andra frågeställningar. I bokens första del beskrivs feminismens idéhistoriska och teoretiska utveckling. Här diskuteras begrepp som kön, genus och jämställdhet, vilken betydelse det materiella ges i olika teorier och varför kvinnliga teoretiker fått så lite plats i den sociologiska historieskrivningen. I bokens andra del läggs tyngdpunkten på tillämpning och empirisk forskning. Här ges exempel på hur begrepp och teorier har använts inom olika forskningsfält: sociala rörelser, kriminologi, arbetsliv, kropp och hälsa, familj, teknik- och vetenskapsstudier, emotioner samt migration.Feministiskt tänkande och sociologi ges här ut i en reviderad upplaga med nya exempel och hänvisningar till aktuell forskning och teori. Nya kapitel om kriminologi och våldtäkt samt sociala rörelser har också tillkommit. Boken vänder sig i första hand till studenter i sociologi och andra samhälls­vetenskapliga ämnen, men också till dem som vill sätta sig in i hur genusperspektiv och feministisk teori kan förstås och tillämpas.

This book investigates co-housing as an alternative housing form in relation to sustainable urban development. Co-housing is often lauded as a more sustainable way of living. The primary aim of this book is to critically explore co-housing in the context of wider social, economic, political and environmental developments. This volume fills a gap in the literature by contextualising co-housing and related housing forms. With focus on Denmark, Sweden, Hamburg and Barcelona, the book presents general analyses of co-housing in these contexts and provides specific discussions of co-housing in relation to local government, urban activism, family life, spatial logics and socio-ecology.This book will be of interest to students and researchers in a broad range of social-scientific fields concerned with housing, urban development and sustainability, as well as to planners, decision-makers and activists.

This open access book seeks to understand how politics is being made in a pluralistic sense, and explores how these political struggles are challenging and transforming gender, sexuality, and colonial norms. As researchers located in Sweden, a nation often cited as one of the most gender-equal and LGBTQ-tolerant nations, the contributions investigate political processes, decolonial struggles, and events beyond, nearby, and in between organizations, states, and national territories. The collection represents a variety of disciplines, and different theoretical conceptualizations of politics, feminist theory, and postcolonial and queer studies. Students and researchers with an interest of queer studies, gender studies, critical whiteness studies, and civil society studies will find this book an invaluable resource.
