This study will investigate the distance between theory and practice in gender equality work in the swedish public sphere. Research and especially research in gender studies have for decades criticized the way Sweden works towards gender equality and especially how Sweden works with gender mainstreaming and intersectionality. The study is based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with people working with gender equality in swedish governmental authorities to acknowledge their experience and understanding of what it means to work with equality, gender mainstreaming and intersectionality in practise. By focusing on experiences of working with gender equality as a practise the study aims to contribute with a new point of view to the research field of swedish equality work. The conclusions of the study show an ideological fantasy within the political project Sweden where the meaning of gender equality is being institutionalized for its existence and not for what it changes. The study also shows a conflict in how intersectionality is being understood as a practical or analytical tool and a request and need for more practical based research. (Less)
