Data Work in a Knowledge-Broker Organization: How Cross-Organizational Data Maintenance shapes Human Data Interactions.

The term Human-Data Interaction (HDI) conceptualizes the growing importance of understanding how people need and desire to use and interact with data. Previous HDI cases have mainly focused on the interface between personal health data and the healthcare sector. This paper argues that it is relevant to consider HDI at an organisational level and examines how HDI can look in such a context, where data and data maintenance are core assets and activities. We report on initial findings of a study of a knowledge-broker organisation, where we follow how data are produced, shared, and maintained in a cross-organisational context. We discuss similarities and differences of HDI aroundpersonal health data and cross-organisational data maintenance. We propose to extend the notion of HDI to include the complexity of cross-organisational data work

Gendered Representation in Danish Film

Film studies in Denmark often center on either production studies or content analyses. Most frequently examinations of gender in film fall into the latter category. As such, most analyses of gender in Danish film emphasize what happens on screen. In the Danish film industry, however, gender representation has increasingly become a question linked to equity and equality both behind the cameras and on film. This has been propelled, in particular, by the Danish Film Institute’s (DFI) diversity initiatives, of which a special gender effort was launched in 2015. This article analyzes the premises, presumptions, and potential risks associated with the Danish approaches to gender inequality in Danish film. The article shows that approaching gender equality through what Crenshaw would call ‘single axis analysis’ severely limits the problem-solving capabilities of diversity initiatives such as those launched by the DFI. While gender equality in the Danish film industry has arguably been both understudied, less negotiated, and less governed than is the case in neighboring nations, Denmark has a prevalent national narrative driven by a gender-progressive self-image. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, Danish female directors and creatives have enjoyed immense international success, and female-driven narratives have been central to the recent export success of many Nordic Noir series. Nonetheless, this article takes a closer look at how the Danish film industry is handling questions of gender equality in film.</p

Making equality relevant: Gender, housework, and sick leave legitimacy in online interaction

This article uses discursive psychology and conversation analysis to examine a Swedish online forum thread in which participants, who present as women on long-term sick leave, make gender equality relevant when discussing housework. Doing housework can challenge the legitimacy of the sick leave, and as a woman, one risks being categorized as a "housewife." Such a categorization can work to undermine sick leave legitimacy and is also problematic given norms of gender equality in Sweden. In the studied data, such inferences are managed by invoking a (male) partner in accounts for housework or by humorous and ironic gendered categorizations. The analysis focuses on how this is done in the fine details of the interaction, showing how sick leave legitimacy is managed within a normative framework of gender equality. The study provides a practically oriented approach to the gendered aspects of sick leave legitimacy and sheds light on the delicate interplay between gender equality and sick leave in everyday life.</p
