Kursansvarig: Johanna Sköld och Johanna Sjöberg
Innehåll:
I den här kursen studerar vi hur barnforskning har bidragit till att utmana förståelser av såväl människa som samhälle. Kursen har ett kronologiskt upplägg där doktoranderna läser klassiska originaltexter och bearbetar dem för att skapa en överblick över barnforskningsfältets framväxt. Kursens övergripande mål är att doktoranderna ska kunna redogöra för olika vetenskapliga traditioner inom barnforskningen utifrån klassiska texter samt resonera kring hur barnforskning bidrar till kritiska perspektiv inom samhällsvetenskap och humaniora.
Arbetsformer:
Kursen är uppdelad i sex block som inleds med en föreläsning och avslutas med ett seminarium där de studerande förväntas ha läst litteraturen och förberett en presentation eller ett reflektionsdokument som ska ligga som underlag för diskussion. Seminarierna, som planeras ske på plats på Tema Barn vid Linköpings universitet om pandemiläget tillåter, är schemalagda till följande datum: 22 september, 6 oktober, 20 oktober, 26 oktober, 11 november, 25 november. Föreläsningar kommer vara digitalt inspelade, alternativt ges på Zoom eller på plats i samband med seminariedagarna.

Feminist ethics of care – geneaologies and uses from mothering to respons-ability (an adaptable reading course) (2,5 hp)
Course period: Flexible, the course is taught on demand 2022–2023, 50% study pace
Language: English
Course content:
Joan Tronto, a feminist philosopher and theorist of democracy, defined an ethic of care as any approach to personal, social, moral, and political life that starts from the reality that all human beings need and receive care and give care to others. The care relationships among humans are part of what mark us as human beings, that we always are interdependent beings. Early on, Joan Tronto and Berenice Fisher defined care widely: "On the most general level, we suggest that caring be viewed as a species activity that includes everything that we do to maintain, continue, and repair our 'world' so that we can live in it as well as possible.” STS and multispecies feminist scholars took this understanding of care to a both local and planetary level, at once. Donna Haraway, keen to not root politics in identity, purity or mothering, introduced the powerful concept of “respons-ability”. This makes care, care work and caring a reciprocal activity of attuning into also to the nonhumans that co-constitute the world, enabling all kinds of responses to the continuous crisis of living in capitalist ruins in the Anthropocene. María Puig de la Bellacasa’s 2017 book Matters of Care, following Haraway’s trajectory of multispecies care, bring together three dimensions of care – as an affective state, a material-doing and practice, and an ethico-political obligation. Architectural theorist Elke Krasny et al’s edited volume on Radicalizing Care brings together curatorial and creative practices, hacking and design in a multidisciplinary compilation that evidence the versatility of feminist care ethics today.
In this course, we read Tronto, Bellacasa, Haraway and selected chapters from Krasny, alongside critiques of feminist ethics of care (as a virtue ethic of individualism and self-control) and two individually selected theoretical texts on the topic that suit the research of the course participants.
Teaching and examination: The joint reading is distributed and individual readings selected before the course start. We then meet for joint zoom reading seminars on two occasions. Course participants are expected to prepare for each joint zoom webinar and to present their own individual reading and take-home message from the joint and from the individually selected readings.
The two webinar presentations, one for each seminar, form the basis for examination.

Feminist Technoscience & Bodies (10 hp with a parallel 3 pt version run simultaneously)
Period: November-December
Language: English
Course content: This course explores different tools (terms) and lenses (theories) to use when talking about the body. I think of these as part of feminist technoscience studies – but that’s me. It is actually a pretty messy mix of different strands of academic work over the last 40 years… and some is even a little older. My goal with this course is to get you to read and engage with work that isn’t super hip right now, but which has left traces in conversations that are happening in the field (which field???), today. To that end, for each of the seminars I’ve chosen some work that I have found robust – even if it seems a bit dusty now. Then I’ve tried to find some later work that engages with those strands of conversation. I want you to read the texts, tell me how you respond to them (I’m not expecting you to like all of this – much of it has been severely critique in the intervening years, which is the point of academic discussion), draw parallels or contrasts to other things you have read, and then present for the group something from your field which relates or refutes an idea in the readings.
Teaching:The course will be run during the second half of HT22. It is designed to be participant-oriented in the sense that it seeks to maximize active interactions as learning activities. This means that you are expected to have read the literature and prepared questions or reflections in advance, and that the course is designed to give many opportunities for discussion with lecturers on-site at The Department of Thematic Studies, Linköping University (provided that the pandemic so allows) and on Zoom with researchers from other universities, and with fellow course participants.
Examination forms: 8 obligatory Seminars – pass/fail, examined by active participation.

Språk: Svenska. Examinationsuppgifter kan skrivas på svenska eller engelska
Kursinnehåll: Kursplan Kursen syftar till att ge den forskarstuderande möjlighet att pröva att skriva fram tidigare forskning med utgångspunkt i eget avhandlingsprojekt. Kursen lägger en bred grund för ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt, vetenskapliga arbetsmetoder och grundläggande steg i forskningsprocessen om barn. Kursen fokuserar på viktiga steg i forskningsprocessen, specifikt med fokus på hur tidigare forskning är grundläggande i formulering av ett forskningsproblem och forskningsfrågor, val av metod (för datainsamling och analys) och i analysarbetet. I kursen diskuteras hur man kritiskt förhåller sig till tidigare forskningsstudier, teoretiska och metodologiska val. Etiska förutsättningar och regelverk för forskning om barn presenteras och diskuteras. Tidigare forskning presenteras i form av en skriftlig redovisning och ligger till grund för kollegial granskning och diskussion kring hur tidigare forskning kan presenteras och hur den kan informera framtida avhandlingsarbetet.
Undervisnings- och examinationsformer: Kursen examineras genom aktivt deltagande i seminarier där skriftligt individuellt arbete presenteras och diskuteras.

Gender & Sustainability - Introducing Feminist Environmental Humanities (7,5 hp)Course period: November – February (Fall term 2022/Spring term 2023)
Language: English
Cecilia Åsberg, cecilia.asberg@liu.se
Course content: The PhD course combines critical and creative perspectives on gender and sustainability from the emerging field of environmental humanities as it overlaps with science, technology, humanities, art and feminist theory-practices. It explores postdisciplinary directions in sustainability from a set of positions in environmental humanities and feminist posthumanities. The course provides an introduction into the conceptual landscape of feminist environmental humanities, and an orientation into its methodological trajectories across the fields of science, technology, art and design. Notions of different scientific traditions in the past and present, and of inter- and transdisciplinary research are presented and framed in ways that are particularly useful for PhD researchers pursuing environmental humanities/postdisciplinary studies and practice-oriented research in art, technology and design. PhD researchers are provided with an understanding of key concepts – and the relationship between research questions, methods, objectives and outcomes – through lectures, literature seminars, workshops and collaborative project work. The course introduces participants to thinking on situated knowledge practices and ethics amidst a plethora of critical methodologies, qualitative and innovative methods, and performative research practices. On completion of the course, PhD researchers will be provided with tools to critically reflect over the epistemological and ethical challenges inherent to their own research practices and doctoral work, but also in relationship to gender, sustainability and to other actors involved in the very social business of scholarship. The course is an open collaboration with the KTH gender network, The Posthumanities Hub, a multi-university research group and platform for feminist posthumanities www.posthumanities.net and Gender Studies (Tema Genus), Linköping University.

Introduction to STS, 10 hp
Course period: First half of fall semester 2022, half-time studies
Language: English
Course content: The course is an introduction to several key theorizations in the international field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). In addition to reading and discussing key texts, the course participants will also be familiarized with the criticism and debate surrounding key theoretical positions of the field. The course centers on STS-perspectives focusing on processes related to scientific knowledge production and technological change. This translates into the dominance of micro- or meso-perspectives in where the interpretations, practices and actions of various involved actors are analyzed and problematized. The course thus emphasizes theoretical perspectives and concepts that can be used to understand “science and technology in the making.”
Teaching and examination forms: The course is designed to provide ample opportunities for reflection and discussion of perspectives, theories and concepts in STS, particularly as they relate to the course participants’ own research interests. The course participants will be constantly challenged to discuss, critically examine and compare various perspectives, approaches and concepts.
The examination consists of the following components
Active participation in all course sessions.
Submission of a short seminar document (1 paragraph about the literature and a few questions) before each reflection seminar, providing brief reflections on or posing questions for the seminar in question.
Submission of a course essay in which one theme related to the theoretical perspectives addressed in the course is discussed.

Ontologies, epistemologies and methodologies of interdisciplinary studies (5.5 credits)
Course Period: weeks 2–8, 2023 (first week - 4 hours, subsequent weeks - 2 hours per week)
Language: English
Course content
The course offers a critical introduction to the history, philosophy, sociology and practice of interdisciplinary studies. Interdisciplinarity is considered in historical contexts and in relation to traditional academic disciplines. We discuss how disciplinary norms and epistemic models organize academic research, and to what extent and how are they challenged by interdisciplinary approaches. The course also addresses ontological assumptions upon which different interdisciplinary traditions rest and that they project, and examines interdisciplinarity as a particular type of cognition. We focus on interdisciplinary interpretations of truth and objectivity, address issues of communicative rationality and social studies of science and technology. The course proceeds to compare different kinds and forms of interdisciplinary research, its relational dynamics, and methodological premises. We critically analyse differences in interdisciplinary collaborations between the humanities, social sciences, hard and natural sciences, etc. The course also tackles the relations between interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, postdisciplinarity and antidisciplinarity both within and outside the Western-centric knowledge production paradigm. Finally, we touch upon the research policy milieus for interdisciplinary studies and possible career paths for interdisciplinary researchers.
Examination: The examination consists of one individually written course paper and active participation in seminars through general discussion and presenting the draft of the future course paper at the course conference
