Myndigheter och företag kan idag uppleva att de utmanas av misstroende medborgare i digitala forum. Även om organisationer och medborgare sällan möts i dialog eller diskussion med varandra, så konstruerar de hela tiden föreställningar om varandra. Detta är något Maria Rosén, Institutionen för strategisk kommunikation, tittat närmare på i sin avhandling som hon försvarar den 21 maj 2021. Avhandling

I en ny avhandling från Lunds universitet intervjuar genusvetaren Marco Bacio manliga sexarbetare i Sverige och Italien. Det som förvånade honom mest var att en majoritet av sexarbetarna tillhörde en välutbildad medelklass. Kvinnligt sexarbete – som är långt vanligare än manligt – är väl beforskat runt om i världen. Män som säljer sex däremot har enligt Marco Bacio inte uppmärksammats i samma grad
