The purpose of this thesis was to study descriptions of companies on their webpages on the Internet. This was performed from a socialconstructionist point of view with focus being on subject positionings and gender. A critical discourse analysis was carried out on two texts from the webpages of two organizations on the Internet. Using the three dimensional model for critical discourse analysis by Fairclough, the discourses and subject positionings that the texts included could be revealed. The purpose of this thesis was also to point out the importance of the use of language in recruiting personnel and to hopefully encourage organizations to put effort into text production to avoid discrimination.

Since Sweden can be considered to be a secular society it is interesting to investigate how different actors experience swimming education in the course syllabus of sports and health education, for practicing Muslim girls in middle and high schools. The investigation is based on qualitative interviews with sports teachers, practicing Muslim girls and the staff of the public swimming center in Växjö. The result shows that swimming education can be somewhat problematic, since the Muslim girls only want to attend lessons that are gender separated. In the public swimming center, there are no pools exclusively intended for women, and there are only a few times available for women every week. However, the teachers stress opportunities instead of obstacles, and the students? experience that their teachers are trying to create possibilities for them to have a gender separated swimming education.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad elever på mellanstadiet och högstadiet har för uppfattning om friluftsliv på olika skolor i Sverige. Frågeställningarna är: Vad är friluftsliv för eleverna? Vad gör eleverna på friluftsdagarna i skolan? Hur uppfattas kunskapskraven för eleverna om friluftsliv inom ämnet idrott och hälsa idrotten? Är eleverna med i någon friluftsförening? Har eleverna som är med i någon friluftsförening en annan syn på vad friluftsliv är i jämförelse med dem som inte är med i en friluftslivsförening? I studien används två olika teorier. Den första teorin som används är Bourdieus sociologiska begrepp habitus. Habitus är en teori som handlar om vad vi vanligen benämner som inlärning eller socialisation. Våra rörelser, vårt tal, val av kläder, mat samt partners och vad vi gör på vår fritid händer omedvetet om det vi kan uppleva som möjligt och passande.

The purpose with this essay is to study if the exhibition, Maria-Drömmen om kvinnan has a gender perspective and if it contributes to the history of art. The study shows what kind of women the exhibition illustrates and what kind of perspective it has. By telling about the black Madonna I also show that there is another representation of the middle age women in the Roman Catholic Church at this time that the exhibition not have included. The study is also going to illustrate the difference between a genderperspektiv in art and a women?s perspective.

The following study was undertaken in the spring of 2005 in Helsingborg, Sweden.It presents a study of the experience and values six young couples have related to parenting and gender equality. Twelwe people, six women and six men, were interviewed about the above mentioned topics related to their new found role as parents. How did these women and men choose to assign or elaborate their role as parents in terms of household chores and parental leave? Did they consider their parenthood to be equal or did they feel that their role as parents had already been assigned based on their gender? What were the decisive factors, if any, that determined their parenting roles?Although this study is relatively limited, the results are compatible with other published studies and indicate that young parents of today, without consideration to their gender, have a traditional view on parenting. The study also indicates that the attitudes seem to be established by traditional values, norms as well as sexualgender.

Denna studie syftar till att söka samband mellan människors bakgrund vad gäller uppväxtförhållanden och klass; med vilket avses ekonomiska, kulturella och sociala förutsättningar och olika former av missbruk av alkohol, läkemedel och narkotika. Hur inträdet i olika drogkulturer kan tänkas ha påverkats och hur missbruket kommit att utformas utifrån givna bakgrundsförhållanden samt huruvida och i så fall på vad vis, missbruket, när detta väl varit ett faktum, mötts av olika former av reaktion och respons från den missbrukande människans omgivning.Forskningsansatsen i studien är kvalitativ. Empirin bygger främst på strukturerade intervjuer med fem respondenter i åldrarna 23-32 år. Respondenterna har alla valts ut via selektivt urval utifrån en förstudie i form av ett enkätformulär. Resultatet redovisas under de fem rubrikerna; ekonomiskt kapital, kulturellt kapital, socialt kapital, missbrukets process samt omgivningens reaktion.

Income support is granted to those who are not by themselves or in any other way able toachieve a decent standard of living. Assessment of entitlement to income support is based onan individual evaluation and equal treatment (Kjellbom, 2009). Administrators of economicaid should therefore not judge clients differently depending on, for example, gender. The aimof this study was to commence from a gender perspective in understanding howadministrators of economic aid think of equality and inequality between the sexes whenheterosexual couples apply for income support. Based on this objective we arrived at twomain formulations of questions; how administrators of economic aid deliberate aroundequality and inequality between sexes in connection to applications for financial support, aswell as which variables in organisations sustain or discourage inequalities between genders inaid management.

During the autumn of 2007 I carried out an investigation within the bank and finance Sector. The aim of the investigation was to see how informal aspects could be understood in relation to equality within Bank AB? The main question was: Which are the obstacles and opportunities for equality within Bank AB? To answer the main question I asked the following questions to the material: Are there any gender related different within the organization? How are men and women represented within the internal magazine? Which are the conceptions related to sex/gender within the organization? The investigation is based on a survey, the internal magazine was investigated and finally interviews took place. Throughout the investigation I used organization theory in a gender perspective. With the gender organization theory I examined concepts as structures, leadership, symbolism and changes associated with equality.

Even though discrimination of gender in schools and general workplaces is prohibited by Swedish law, there are reports and witness accounts that suggest that discrimination, such as sexual harassment, still exist in Swedish schools.The main purpose with this essay is to look into how questions concerning gender related issues and equality between the sexes is treated in the schools governmental directives, and in textbooks, such trying to examine in what way these questions are addressed in schools. I will answer the following:In what way and to what extent do the governmental directives bring up questions concerning gender related issues and equality, and how are the teachers governed into teaching these matters?Has there been any change concerning these matters between Lgr-80 and Lpo-94?What is written in textbooks in social studies about gender rôle and equality and to what extent do they follow the curriculum?Is there any visible change in textbooks written after Lgr-80 and Lpo-94?In order to answer these questions I will analyze the curricula, Lgr-80 and Lpo-94, and textbooks in social studies written on the basis of these curricula.The study showed a more evident governing towards an active teaching and mentoring the students to equality between the sexes, in Lgr-80 than in Lpo-94. The textbooks followed above all Lgr-80 in three of four cases and in the fourth case the curriculum was not followed at all..

Denna uppsats är en framtidsstudie där skillnader och olikheter mellan tre olika orter lyfts fram genom ungdomars framtidsdrömmar. Undersökningen bygger på intervjuer med elever från högstadieskolor på olika orter. Syftet är att försöka besvara fyra olika frågeställningar inom tematiseringarna genus, platsidentitet, klass och tid för att slutligen göra en jämförelse mellan orterna. Orterna, som är Uppsala, Hedemora och Bergshamra, är utvalda för att få en bra storleksfördelning från stor till liten ort. Av mitt material har jag gjort en kulturanalys för att kunna studera erfarenheter, likheter och olik-heter i ungdomarnas synsätt och värderingar.
