    The Supoerhero and the Tiger Mom : Examining the Relation between parental expectations and career choices:: Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew's The Shadow Hero2021In: Engaging with Work in English Studies: An Issue-Based Approach / [ed] Alastair Henry & Åke Persson, Cham: Springer Publishing Company, 2021, p. 127-150Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Through the example of Gene Luen Yang and Sonny Liew’s The Shadow Hero (2014), this chapter interrogates the cultural clashes emerging from the discrepancy between individualist and collectivist views of work in relation to family and society. While classic superhero narratives can be understood as manifestations of individualism, this narrative presents a young hero who is pushed into the role by an overzealous mother, reminiscent of the Tiger Mother-figure of Amy Chua’s controversial autobiography (Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Penguin, 2011). Applying theories from social psychology to the analysis, it is shown that the idea of the independent self, in which work is a mark of adult autonomy, is posited against an idea of the self as interdependent and associated with collectivist ideals that link work with family and prioritize filial piety.

    Klimatkrisen i klassrummet: Reflektioner kring användning av litteratur i undervisning om hållbar utveckling2021In: Utbildning och Lärande / Education and Learning, ISSN 2001-4554, no 2, p. 27-44Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study shows how climate fiction can offer pedagogical opportunities for encouraging student agency as well as open up constructive discussions about the future in relation to social change and climate justice. In order to test a practical opportunity for such a productive conversation, and to draw out its didactic implications, Swedish teacher trainee students were asked to participate in a group discussion on how climate fiction may be used in the teaching of sustainability in upper secondary school. Specifically, they were requested to contribute to the framing and organization of the discussion of a work of climate fiction, The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline, but they were also asked to reflect on social dimensions of teaching about the climate crisis, such as climate psychology, democracy issues, equality and existential questions. Drawing on the students’ discernments in the discussion, the study finds that insights from climate psychology concerning the importance of problem-focused and meaning-focused coping strategies to handle negative emotions such as worry, fear and hopelessness are relevant for literature didactics.

    The Immigrant Girl and the Western Boyfriend: The Romance Plot in Young Adult Novels of Migration2016In: ESSE messenger, E-ISSN 2518-3567, Vol. 25, no 1, p. 122-132Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We explore a recurring motif in a number of young adult novels centered around the experiences of immigrant girls and their adjustment to life in a new country. The integration process appears to belinked to the girls’ relationships with boys from the majority culture, making romance a central element of the girls’ development of a new identity and sense of belonging in the new country. We will examine the intersections of gender and integration by focusing on the narrative voices of immigrant girls in three contemporary novels, Sarah Darer Littman’s Life, After (2010), Sarah Crossan’s The Weight of Water(2012), and Terry Farish’s The Good Braider (2012).
