    • Opikināwāsowin (Cree)/ Ełtth'i Nuheskéne Denushyé (Dene) Raising our Children Well: Indigenous Culture and the Child Welfare System in Saskatchewan 

      Carriere, Jillian Bahna (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-11-02)
      In Saskatchewan, Indigenous children account for 86% of the children currently in care; the reason for this over-representation has direct links to attendance in Residential Schools in Canada. This research explores the correlation between strong/healthy connections to one's Indigenous culture and how this can help mitigate the risk of becoming involved in current child welfare systems.
    • Listening Circle - a path to better listening skills 

      Nordli, Ingrid Cathrin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      “What do you mean, listen?” Listening is an essential part of language and communication skills. It is crucial for teachers, as it is for students. However, students have demonstrated low listening comprehension and reported that learning how to listen was not part of their school curriculum.
    • Devised theatre methodology to promote creativity in school 

      Munk, Camilla Steine; Antonsen, Yngve; Andreassen, Svein-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-11)
      This study examines the use of a devised theatre methodology to develop more creativity in the professional learning community and among students. Data from focus groups in an action research project in an upper secondary school in Norway have been thema tically analysed. Using the practice architecture theory, we identi fied three different practices: ‘creative practice’, ‘collective creative ...
    • Hostile Film: Documentary as The Vehicle of Political Conflict 

      Robinson, P. Stuart (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Documentary-film scholar Stella Bruzzi highlights the increasingly reflexive approach of contemporary independent filmmakers. Specifically, they commonly reflect on the collaborative performance entailed in depicting – and hence working <i>with</i> – human subjects, and therefore draw attention to—rather than hide—this intersubjective process, in all its artificiality and representative distance. ...
    • Mikhail Konstantinovich Sidorov and the role of Norwegians in the opening up of the Northern Sea Route to Siberia (Michail Konstantinovich Sidorov i rolij norvezesev v osvoenii Severnogo Morskogo Putii) 

      Nielsen, Jens Petter; Tevlina, Victoria V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-28)
      In this article the authors examine the activity of the Russian public figure, the goldmining entrepreneur and employer M.K. Sidorov and his relationship with Norwegian shipowners and marine mammal hunters, engaged in sealing and walrus hunting in the area around Novaya Zemlya and in the Kara Sea. In the 1860s and 1870s M.K. Sidorov tried to carry through a largescale project for the opening up of ...
    • Substituted Decision-making 

      Andersson, Anna-Karin Margareta (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      A core principle of medical ethics states that patients should be allowed to determine whether they wish to accept or refuse treatment, if they possess the relevant decision making capacity at the time treatment decisions need to be made. In cases where patients lack capacity to make decisions regarding their own treatment, substitute decision makers must make such decisions for them. This chapter ...
    • The effect of metacognitive executive function training on children's executive function, proactive control, and academic skills 

      Kubota, Maki; Hadley, Lauren V.; Schaeffner, Simone; Könen, Tanja; Meaney, Julie-Anne; Morey, Candice C.; Auyeung, Bonnie; Moriguchi, Yusuke; Karbach, Julia; Chevalier, Nicolas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The current study investigated the effects of metacognitive and executive function (EF) training on childhood EF (inhibition, working memory [WM], cognitive flexibility, and proactive/reactive control) and academic skills (reading, reasoning, and math) among children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Children (N = 134, Mage = 8.70 years) were assigned randomly to the three training groups: (a) ...
    • Et forsvarsproblem og et mulig sikkerhetsdilemma. Allierte forsterkninger og sikkerhetspolitikk i Nord, 1960–1980 

      Bones, Stian (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-22)
      This chapter investigates two phases of Norwegian-American bilateral studies aiming to reinforce the defense of Northern Norway. The inception of this initiative can be traced back to the early 1960s, when Minister of Defense Gudmund Harlem launched an invitation policy based on the new strategic concept of “flexible response”. A major defense problem, seen from the perspective of small state Norway, ...
    • The role of Skolt Saami religious texts in language development and revitalization 

      Kosner, Lukas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The focus of this article is the role of translations of religious literature into Skolt Saami in the development of the Skolt Saami written language and in the process of language revitalization. The Orthodox Church has had a strong influence on the life of Skolt Saami people, however, the interaction between language and religion and its significance is usually overlooked in the research context. ...
    • Freedom - feeling free in an (un)free world 

      Aakvaag, Gunnar Colbjørnsen; Hviid Jacobsen, Michael (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-18)
      This chapter explores what it means and how feels like to be free in social life. Despite current collectivist backlashes from both the political right (neo-nationalism) and left (identity-politics), individual freedom is still probably the ‘ultimate value’ (Talcott Parsons) of contemporary liberal democracies. Whereas economists, political scientists and political philosophers discuss freedom in ...
    • 'Svalbard in Polish Documentaries (1930s-2020s): A Conceptualized Inventory' 

      Rogatchevski, Andrei; Szymala, Jacek (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      For the first time ever, over fifty Polish documentaries about Svalbard, filmed during the ninety years of Polish presence on the archipelago, have been looked at and categorized. Four distinct periods of such documentary-making have been identified and characterized: the heroic (in the 1930s), the exotic (in the 1950s-60s), the routine (in the 1970-90s) and the ethical (from the 1990s until present). ...
    • "Dei tidvile baklengslogikkane. Analepsar og analeptiske grep i Therese Tungens "Flaumen" 

      Auklend, Morten (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      Noko som slår ein som les Therese Tungen sine noveller, er alle analepsane, altså tilbakeblikk eller retrospeksjonar i tekstane.i I dei to samlingane Ein gong var dei ulvar (2017) og Kjærleik og det som liknar (2019) vender narrasjonen, det vil seie tekstforteljaren, stadig attende til fortidige hendingar, samtaler, møte og livsfasar i karakterane si fortid for å rekonsteksualisere refleksjonar, val ...
    • Die Kontroverse um die Färöer ca. 1524–1536 

      Grohse, Ian Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      This article examines the efforts of Norway’s council of the realm to rescind the governing offices and trading rights of Hamburg merchants in the Faroes between the mid-1520s and mid-1530s. The limited body of prior research on the subject focuses on the commercial aims of opposing parties, treating their dispute as part of the long-standing conflict over the western Norwegian town of Bergen’s ...
    • Harnessing the bilingual descent down the mountain of life: Charting novel paths for Cognitive and Brain Reserves research 

      Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-13)
      Evidence from various empirical study types have converged to show bilingualism's potential for serving as a cognitive and brain reserves contributor. In this article, I contextualize, frame the need for and offer some expanding questions in this endeavor, inclusive of empirical pathways to address them. While the set of variables and questions discussed herein are definitively incomplete, they ...
    • Grønn omstilling uten fasit. Hva kan oljehistorien i Lofoten lære oss om energiomstilling av lokalsamfunn? 

      Eilertsen, Magnus Elias; Kristoffersen, Berit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-14)
      I denne artikkelen analyserer vi framveksten av to framtidsvisjoner for regionen Lofoten. Den ene visjonen handlet om oljeutvinning. Den andre samfunnsvisjonen framstiller grønn omstilling som en regional vekstmulighet, og har vokst fram i perioden etter at oljevisjonen mistet sitt fotfeste. Vi analyserer hvilke argumenter som har vært sentrale i den lokale debatten om oljevirksomhet, og kobler ...
    • Kann und soll der Wille zur Macht überwunden werden? Ein Versuch des späten Nietzsche 

      Himmelmann, Beatrix (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-01)
      Das Prinzip des Willens zur Macht spielt von Beginn an, das heißt spätestens seit dem kurzen Stück über Homer’s Wettkampf, bis in Nietzsches letzte philosophische Texte hinein eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Doch es fällt auf, dass Nietzsche am Ende neben und gegenläufig zu diesem Prinzip ein Verständnis und eine Haltung dem Leben gegenüber zu konturieren sucht, die über den Willen zur Macht hinausweisen. ...
    • Mellom inkludering og indigenisering: Om utvikling av norskdidaktisk forskning om samiske tema 

      Sollid, Hilde; Johansen, Åse Mette (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
      Vi starter dette kapittelet med å slå fast at det per i dag ikke finnes noen norskdidaktisk klassikertekst som handler om arbeid med samiske tema i norskfaget. I mangel på en slik tekst har vi valgt å ta utgangspunkt i et samisk ordtak som – typisk for sjangeren – har vært tradert muntlig gjennom historien som en del av kulturell forvaltning av verdier og tankesett. I ordtaket settes det å finne ...
    • Mathematics Education Storylines and Cultures in Indigenous and Migrational Contexts 

      Simensen, Anita Movik; Huru, Hilja Lisa; Andersson, Annica; Herbel-Eisenmann, Beth Ann; Wagner, David Richard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In November 2022, we organised a conference where researchers, teachers, elders, doctoral students and prospective teachers from “all over the world” were invited to participate in conversations about mathematics education in Indigenous and/or migrational contexts. The conference took place in Alta, Northern Norway. In this area, Sami, Kven and Norwegian peoples live together side by side. This is ...
    • The Politics of Film: 'Captain Volkonogov Escaped' and the Art of Resistance 

      Robinson, P. Stuart (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-05)
      Natasha Merkulova and Aleksey Chupov's Captain Volkonogov Escaped offers a gripping portrayal of life in Stalin's Soviet Union. This article discusses the film's evocation of an oppressive social structure and its pertinence as a stimulus and means to comprehending and critically appraising authoritarianism in contemporary times. The film pays close attention to micro-level dynamics of intimidation, ...
