Fatherhood in the Nordic Welfare States
The five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, are well-known for their extensive welfare system and gender equality which provides both parents with opportunities to earn and care for their children. In this topical book, expert scholars from the Nordic countries, as well as UK and the US, demonstrate how modern fatherhood is supported in the Nordic setting through family and social policies, and how these contribute to shaping and influencing the images, roles and practices of fathers in a diversity of family settings and variations of fatherhoods. This comprehensive volume will have wide international appeal for those who look to Nordic countries and their success in creating gender equal societies.
A Care Crisis in the Nordic Welfare States?

The Societal Unconscious
The Societal Unconscious presents an innovative development of theory and methodology for adult education and learning research, recognizing psychodynamic dimensions of learning processes. With few exceptions the unconscious has been neglected in critical adult education research. The psychosocial approach in this book seeks to re-integrate the societal and the psychodynamic dimensions in analyzing adult learners and learning processes. The book responds to contemporary awareness of the societal and cultural nature of subjectivity with a new material and dialectic psychosocial theory, comprising conscious as well as unconscious levels. Tracing interdisciplinary inspirations it sets a new bro...
Place, (In)Equality and Gender
This mapping presents a selected overview of existing research on gender, education and population flows in the Nordic peripheral areas. These areas are faced with a series of challenges that cannot be analyzed nor solved without taking a gender perspective into account. The challenges relate to, for instance, altered living conditions caused by global changes, stagnated or negative economic development, decrease in the amount of workplaces (particularly in the traditionally male-dominated professions) as well as, not least, migration and depopulation which is partly due to the fact that the young people of the area (especially the women) move to bigger cities to educate themselves. The challenges in question are not only significant in relation to the viability and cohesion of the areas, but also for the men and women who live there and their mutual social relations.
Social entrepreneurship and social innovation in the Nordic countries
The Nordic countries are currently facing major challenges with regard to maintaining and further developing social welfare. Against this background, the Nordic Council of Ministers decided in autumn 2013 to appoint a working group to map initiatives to support social entrepreneurship and social innovation in the Nordic countries. The main purpose of this mapping is to increase knowledge of initiatives to support social entrepreneurship and social innovation in the Nordic Region in the work to include disadvantaged groups in employment and society. This report presents the results from the mapping and the working group's recommendations for further follow-up.

Mænd
Historien er fuld af store mænd: forfattere og feltherrer, sportsudøvere og statsmænd. Op gennem årene er vi blevet indprentet bestemte forestillinger om, hvordan mænd er - og bør være. Manden er fader, forsørger og formynder. Han er driftig og har et stærkt naturligt begær efter succes - og kvinder. Mænd - køn under forvandling tegner et mere komplekst billede af mænd og mandighed. I dag indtager manden meget forskellige roller og positioner i samfundet, og spørgsmålet er, om der nu eksisterer en form for moderne og anderledes maskulinitet? Gennem en række konkrete nedslag gør bogen op med myter og fordomme om mænd og mandighed og demonstrerer det komplekse forhold mellem forestillinger om maskulinitet og konkrete udlevelser af maskulinitet. Ud over at behandle emner som arbejdsliv, faderskab og sundhed sætter bogen fokus på ligestillingsdebatten og mere kontroversielle emner som mandlige voldsudøvere, prostitutionskunder samt krise- og depressionsramte mænd. Desuden rummer bogen en diskussion af forholdet mellem maskulinitet, etnicitet og faderskab - et emne, der ikke er skrevet meget om i Danmark.
