Samisk integrering i norsk og svensk kirke i tidlig nytid - En komparasjon mellom Finnmark og Torne lappmark
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-09-27)
Avhandlingen er en komparativ undersøkelse av deltakelse i kirkelivet blant samer i Finnmark og Torne lappmark, som var underlagt henholdsvis den norske og den svenske kirka. Hovedfokuset ligger på 1600-tallet og starten på 1700-tallet, men jeg problematiserer også hvorvidt samer i disse to regionene kom i kontakt med kristendommen via middelalderens katolske kirke. Ved hjelp av en komparativ ...

State Membership: A Question of Individual Choice
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-09-19)
The growing hostility against immigrants around the world has brought the debate on immigration and borders back to the core of moral and political philosophy. On the one hand, there is increasing pressure for international human mobility driven by, for example, globalisation, war and conflicts, economic development, family union, career development, and climate change. On the other hand, there are ...
"Laksen trenger ro". Tilnærming til tradisjonelle kunnskaper gjennom praksiser, begreper og fortellinger fra Sirbmá-området.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-09-14)
Tradisjonell kunnskap har fått anerkjennelse i internasjonale konvensjoner og i Naturmangfoldloven i forvaltningen av naturressurser. Spesielt gjelder denne anerkjennelsen i samiske og andre urfolksområder, som begrunnes med at samer og andre urfolk har lange tradisjoner i høstingen av naturressurser. Til tross for at samisk tradisjonell kunnskap er anerkjent som kunnskapsgrunnlag i offentlige ...

Phenomenologizing Epistemology: Essays in Husserlian Philosophy
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-08-30)
The general aim of the three essays that make up the substance of the dissertation is to contribute to the assessment of Husserl’s epistemology, which has received relatively little attention in the Husserlian renaissance of recent years. Their upshot is a critical one, in that I find reason to question important aspects of both Husserl’s metaepistemology and his substantive epistemology.
Husserl’s ...

Hot emotions in cold landscapes. Towards spatial-emotional methodologies of interest development. Why research on Arctic winter tourism can ill afford to ignore the emotion of interest.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-09-08)
The dissertation explores tourist encounters with two Arctic winter tourism contexts in Northern
Norway. Through three ethnographic fieldworks on the coastal steamer Hurtigruten, and a small
peninsula of eastern Finnmark called Ekkerøy, learning experiences are scrutinized. As tourists
visit a region they know relatively little about beforehand, how important is the external
scaffolding of ...

emphasis on substantial content. The focus is on the first edition of the publicised text. It is
important to distinguish between the text and the writer and to clarify what the object of the
study is: The pupil’s narrative text is interpreted. Although this does not imply that the writer

The Claims of Freedom: Habermas' Deliberative Multiculturalism and the Right to Free Speech
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-04-21)
The thesis analyzes and discusses Jürgen Habermas’ political philosophy, focusing on his theories of multiculturalism and deliberative democracy. This implies an assesment of strengths and weaknesses in Habermas' theory, and an attempt to overcome the weaknesses through some revisions and reinterpretations. More specifically, I apply Habermas' framework to a particular question to which he himself ...
