Research
Kristin Wiksell's research concern how marginalized organizational forms, particularly Swedish worker cooperatives in the private sector, construct and organize themselves with a potential to contribute to social change in relation to a dominance of capitalist logics in the surrounding society. The research explores the relation between power and resistance from a Foucauldian perspective on discourse and social change, and elucidates the possibilities and challenges of organizing for social change within the very context resistance is directed against.
