• 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 ...

    • 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 ...

      Gjennom Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK2020) er urfolk og nasjonale minoriteter blitt løfta som temaområde i skolen.

      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 ...
    • Viewing Ethnicity from the Perspective of Individuals and Households: Finnmark during the Late Nineteenty Century 

      Jåstad, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)

Second-hand information on the other hand is available in the population censuses undertaken from 1845 onwards. The first part of this article gives a brief description of the source material, and in order to evaluate the strength of the ethnicity variable given in the ...
    • Violent experiences, violent practices: caring and silence in anthropology 

      Gross, Lena (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      "Take care. This will be good data", I heard from a senior scholar after writing them about several violent and dangerous incidents that occurred during my PhD-fieldwork. At the time, I did not question it. Neither the words "take care" without further advice following how to do that, nor the statement that these incidents are good data. Are they, thougt? Does the ethnographer`s close experience of ...
    • “Viruses do not discriminate”? Reflecting on two pandemics 

      Gross, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-26)

However, the same piece explicitly links the current COVID-19 pandemic to HIV/AIDS – another global epidemic that has occured during our lifetime. Many AIDS survivors and members of the queer community have drawn a line between the two ...
