• The Nordic Sámediggis and the Limits of Indigenous Self-Determination 

      Mörkenstam, Ulf; Josefsen, Eva; Nilsson, Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016)
      <p>From an international perspective, the popularly elected <i>Sámediggis</i> (Sámi Parliaments), established more than two decades ago in the Nordic countries of Finland, Norway and Sweden, represent unique institutional arrangements to enhance and safeguard indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination. In this article the authors compare the legal basis, status, authority and mandate of the ...
    • The Norwegian TRC: Truth, Reconciliation, and Public Engagement 

      Broderstad, Else Grete; Josefsen, Eva (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-19)
      In 2018, the Norwegian Parliament appointed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate the Norwegianisation policy and injustice against the Sámi and Kven/Norwegian Finns. We focus on the commission’s public engagement, and emphasise Sámi and Kven/Norwegian Finns’ perceptions and expectations in relation to these efforts. The mandate’s goal is to establish a common understanding of the ...
    • “Not a Major or Complicated Task”: Activating Dugnad under COVID-19 and the Imagination of Equality in the Norwegian Welfare State 

      Gross, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-28)
      In Norway, the institution of the welfare state and trust in the government defined the country’s approach to tackling the pandemic. In particular, the government’s strategy to activate the cultural concept of dugnad (voluntary, reciprocal communal work), which relies on an equal standing of all participants, plays into the national imaginary of an egalitarian and just society. However, like in other ...
    • Om departemental politisk spagat og folkerettens kulturvern 

      Broderstad, Else Grete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Utgangspunktet for denne artikkelen er Kalvvatnan-saken i det sørsamiske området. I 2016 stoppet Olje- og energidepartementet planene om å bygge et vindkraftverk på et område brukt av reindriften. Folkerettslige bestemmelser av betydning for urfolk og særlig artikkel 27 i FNs konvensjon om sivile og politiske rettigheter spilte en avgjørende rolle for at departementet avslo å gi konsesjon til ...

    • Perpetuating the myth of the "wild Bushman": Inclusive multicultural education for the Omaheke Ju|'hoansi in Namibia 

      Ninkova, Velina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-24)
      Namibia has adopted an inclusive education policy with emphasis on cultural and linguistic diversity. The policy encourages educators to adapt the curriculum and include content that reflects the cultural background of their learners. Despite these positive provisions, severely marginalized groups, such as the Omaheke Ju|’hoansi, continue to underperform and drop out of school at greater rates than ...
    • Refusal – opening otherwise forms of research 

      Gross, Lena; Mashreghi, Sepandarmaz; Söderman, Emma (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-14)
      An increasing interest towards researching other forms of knowledges is taking place, expanding the boundaries of knowledge to include forms that have been historically marginalised, negated, and neglected by the Western academy. Parallel to this, we have identified a rising critique of how voices marginalized by colonial modes of academic knowledge production are included, through a single-sided ...
    • Samisk nasjonaldag i skolen: Mellom feiring og markering 

      Olsen, Torjer Andreas; Sollid, Hilde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Den samiske nasjonaldagen 6. februar blei innstifta i 1992 til minne om det første samiske landsmøtet eller folkemøtet i Trondheim i 1917. I dag er dagen flere steder i landet blitt en viktig dag for å lage en markering og ha en anledning til å ta opp et samisk innhold i undervisninga. Vi går i denne artikkelen inn på den samiske nasjonaldagen som ritual på skolen. Teoretisk sett ser vi til ...

    • The shrinking resource base of pastoralism: Saami reindeer husbandry in a climate of change 

      Tyler, Nicholas J. C.; Hanssen-Bauer, Inger; Førland, Eirik J.; Nellemann, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-10)
      The productive performance of large ungulates in extensive pastoral grazing systems is modulated simultaneously by the effects of climate change and human intervention independent of climate change. The latter includes the expansion of private, civil and military activity and infrastructure and the erosion of land rights. We used Saami reindeer husbandry in Norway as a model in which to examine ...
    • The state as a whiteman, the whiteman as a |'hun: Personhood, recognition, and the politics of knowability in the Kalahari 

      Ninkova, Velina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-24)
      The Ju|’hoansi of east central Namibia sometimes refer to the state as a whiteman and to the whiteman as a /’hun (steenbok). In this article, I contextualize these naming practices by tracing the history of colonial encounters on the fringes of the Western Kalahari through a small-scale animist perspective. I then discuss what this means for the concept of ‘recognition’, which I treat as a two-way ...
    • This Word is (Not?) Very Exciting: Considering Intersectionality in Indigenous Studies 

      Olsen, Torjer Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-02)
      Gender and intersectional approaches can provide important insights and reflections for indigenous studies. Issues related to indigenous people and communities are broad and complex. Doing research within indigenous studies has to consist of more than simply discussing indigenous identity. I argue that intersectional approaches of varying kinds provide an opportunity to understand several aspects ...
    • Towards decentralized anthropological scholarship: Some ethical considerations 

      Ninkova, Velina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-01)
      This article outlines the future of decentralized blockchain scholarship and some ethical questions we must consider in its wake. What is the role of research participants in a decentralized publishing ecosystem? And how do we move towards more just values and practices in intellectual creation and dissemination?

    • Undervisning om samiske temaer i skolen - betydninga av kompetanse og urfolksperspektiv for en inkluderende praksis 

      Evju, Kristin; Olsen, Torjer Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-26)
      Skolen legger føringer for undervisning om samisk historie, språk, kultur, samfunn og rettigheter. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi erfaringer med disse temaene gjennom intervjuer med lærere fra seks ulike skoler i Norge; tre i Nord-Norge og tre på Østlandet. Lærernes praksis påvirkes av samspillet mellom blant annet læreplaner, læremidler, stedstilhørighet og perspektivering. Disse kan forstås som ...
    • Urfolk og nasjonale minoriteter som tema i samfunnsfag 

      Olsen, Torjer Andreas; Evju, Kristin (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Gjennom Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK2020) er urfolk og nasjonale minoriteter blitt løfta som temaområde i skolen. I dette kapittelet ser vi på hvilken plass samene og de nasjonale minoritetene har i overordna del og i samfunnsfaglæreplanen, og diskuterer hva dette har å si for undervisninga i samfunnsfag. Kapittelet har to hoveddeler. For det første undersøker vi læreplanen ut fra hva den sier om ...
    • "Urfolk" og "mangfold" i skolens læreplaner 

      Olsen, Torjer Andreas; Andreassen, Bengt-Ove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-17)
      Since 1974, the curriculum for the Norwegian school has had a overarching part that puts the school and its content into a bigger social and political context. As such, this part of the curriculum is a highly political and ideological text that expresses the state's purpose and interest related to the school. This article looks into how indigenous people, minorities and diversity is represented in ...
