Dialect Recognition via Lexical Processing: Is It a Viable Litmus Test?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-21)For decades, linguists have been working to formulate an objective means of distinguishing dialects from languages, but dialect recognition has largely remained a subjective enterprise. Only recently have some studies proposed a processing-based psycholinguistic approach toward dialect recognition. These studies argued that dialect words are stored as a co-dependent representation, not as an independent ... -
Resisting unfinished colonial business in Southern Saami reindeer herding landscapes: Struggles over knowledges, worldviews, and values
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-10-28)Globally, Indigenous peoples resist capitalist expansion, while climate change accelerates destruction of our landscapes and lifeworlds.

Picaros and Shapeshifters: The Postcolonial Picaresque Style in GauZ’s Standing Heavy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-22)I read GauZ’s Standing Heavy in connection with the postcolonial picaresque style, as GauZ’s Ivorian immigrant characters are robust survivors who see through the French system and criticize it through their anti-idealist viewpoints. This cynical view, often disclosed through roguish language, provides the author the possibility of expressing aggression toward the unfair system and highlighting ... -

Data ble samlet inn gjennom spørreskjema til alle studentene og i tillegg gjennom fokusgruppeintervju med studentene som hadde utvidet samarbeid med praksislærer. Resultatene viser at den ... -
Approaches to spatial inequalities in a Nordic welfare state – the case of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-29)In this article, the position of the core ideas of equity and equal opportunities within the Nordic model of education today is problematized, using Norway as the case of interest and spatial dividing lines as the main variable in question. I am specifically preoccupied with geographical education differences as part of the ‘unequal opportunity problem’ in Nordic education. Focusing on spatial ... -
Vitenskapelige stereotypier. Om konstruksjonen av samene som kulturhistorisk enhet i tida fram mot 1910
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2001)Rundt 1900 er arkeologien i Norge formalisert som vitenskapelig disiplin med vekt på det norske (Keller 1978, Opedal 1996). Det nasjonalistiske preget var ikke noe unikt for arkeologien her til lands; som den norske arkeologen Haakon Shetelig uttalte i 1910; “ det er nesten overalt det nationale som har været det drivende i den europeiske arkeologi” (Shetelig 1910:59). Til forskjell fra arkeologi i ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-20)Public libraries, archives, and museums have identifiable differences related to their founding missions and play many roles in today’s cultural sector and broader society, yet LAM institutions’ professional activities appear very similar. Moreover, increased digitization of LAM collections allows for increased collaboration and convergence across the institutions, and the merging of L, A, and M ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-09-12)This study investigates bilectal grammatical representation and processing using three ERP reading experiments in two Norwegian dialect regions. Northern Norwegian bilectals were tested in two separate sessions in two written varieties: the local written standard (Bokmål, n = 83) and Northern Norwegian dialect writing (n = 68). The study included both non-contrastive gender (control) and dialect-specific ... -
Myten om den åpne Nordlendingen - star den i veien for god rekruttering?
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2024-09-04)Konkurransen om arbeidskraft og innbyggere er stor. Mange er opptatt av rekruttering, men oppmerksomheten om å få folk til å trives og bli værende er liten. Står myten om gjestfrihet i «verdens beste land» i veien for systematisk velkomstarbeid og fokus på at alle skal trives? -
How ready is the health care system in Northeast India for surgical delivery? A mixed-methods study on surgical capacity and need
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-26)Background Surgical services are scarce with persisting inequalities in access across populations and regions globally. As the world’s most populous county, India’s surgical need is high and delivery rates estimated to be sub-par to meet need.

Hunter-Gatherer Children at School: A View From the Global South
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-14)Universal formal education is a major global development goal. Yet hunter-gatherer communities have extremely low participation rates in formal schooling, even in comparison with other marginalized groups. Here, we review the existing literature to identify common challenges faced by hunter-gatherer children in formal education systems in the Global South. We find that hunter-gatherer children are ... -
Young refugees’ feelings of belonging? Encounters with rural Denmark and northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-07)This paper investigates how young refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience their new places of residence. We find inspiration in the idea of ‘contradictions of space’ (Kinkaid [2020]. “Re-encountering Lefebvre: Toward a Critical Phenomenology of Social Space.” Society and Space 38 (1): 167–186.) in exploring how young refugees navigate issues in rural life from housing, ... -
Language change in Japanese–English bilingual returnee children over the course of five years: Evidence from accent-rating
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-14)Few studies have examined global foreign accent (GFA) in bilingual children, and little is known about how GFA changes over time and what factors determine change. Here, we examine GFA trajectories in Japanese–English bilingual returnees (Japanese children who returned to Japan after having lived in a majority English environment for several years). In two accent-rating tasks, first language ... -

Exploiting the “white coal” of the Pasvik River. Negotiating corporate and national interests in the border region during the German occupation of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-30)The history of the Pasvik River, demarcating Norway’s border with Russia in the north is inextricably linked with issues of security and national interests on the one side, and exploitation of natural resources and business interests on the other. This applies not least to the war years, as German warfare in Europe increased the value of the hydropower and the strategic metals of the border region. ...
