Welfare services are intended to provide care, aid, and support to individuals in need. However, and in spite of well-meaning intentions, support is sometimes experienced as patronizing, misplaced, or an abuse of power. In the current era of New Public Management (NPM), service users are seen as customers and the demands for measurable outcomes rise. Now more than ever, we need to understand the problematic sides of power relations that operate within the welfare state.

Education should be based on a scientific foundation and proven experience. This constitutes one of the cornerstones in the Higher Education Act (SFS, 1992:1434, 1 chapter §2) as well as in the Education Act (SFS, 2010:800, 1 chapter §5). However, the exact meanings of these concepts are not always clear and are interpreted differently by professionals (Bergmark & Hansson, 2021). During practicum periods, students encounter and develop proven experience.

Att arbete är könskodat är väletablerat. Olika yrken, befattningar och arbetsuppgifter är könsmärkta/genuskodade, det vill säga antas vara mer eller mindre lämpade för ett visst kön (Acker, 1990). Likaså är arbetsmarknaden en del av att skapa och återskapa genusrelationer (McDowell, 1999, 2004). Arbetsmarknaden formas med andra ord av uppfattningar om könsspecifika ’lämpliga’ arbetsuppgifter, men den är också aktiv i att skapa dessa uppfattningar.
