'Look to Lurøy' : en studie av et konsulentdrevet reformprosjekt i en kommune
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1993)Denne oppgaven handler om en liten kystkommune på Helgelandskysten, som forsøker “å snu på flisa” ved å engasjere et privat konsulentfirma innen organisasjons-og lederutvildingsbransjen. Valget av empirisk nedslagsfelt hadde sin bakgrunn i at de i kommunen “visstnok hadde god kjennskap til bruk av konsulenter.” Valget har jeg ikke angra på. Ved siden av at kommunen utgjorde et faglig interessant ... -
What risk factors for Developmental Language Disorder can tell us about the neurobiological mechanisms of language development
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)Language is a complex multidimensional cognitive system that is connected to many neurocognitive capacities. The development of language is therefore strongly intertwined with the development of these capacities and their neurobiological substrates. Consequently, language problems, for example those of children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), are explained by a variety of etiological ... -

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-12-13)This case study of colonialism in the Russian Arctic asks (1) Why is Moscow attempting to (re)colonize its Arctic region?

It finds that internal and resource colonialism are occurring, that Moscow’s current colonialist ... -
Arts-based pathways for sustainable transformation towards a more equal world
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)The cultural sector is a potential instigator of change due to its experimental, performative, and relational nature. However, like everywhere else, the cultural sector re-enacts and thus conserves inequalities of various kinds through its outreach to wider audiences and its deep engagement in socio-cultural practices. By taking our actions within the ERASMUS+ project ‘Voices of Women’ as a ... -

Kommunenes gamle ... -
Postverket. Tradisjon og reform
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1993)Administrative reformer er vanlige fenomener. I offentlig organisasjoner foregår det en kontinuerlig reformaktivitet. Har ikke slike organisasjoner nettopp vært igjennom endringsprosesser så finnes det som oftest planer om å snart igangsette slike prosesser (Brunsson, Forssell, Winberg 1989). Noen endringer skjer frivillige, mens andre kan betraktes som påtvungete endringer. Oppfatninger om at ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 1982)Valg av tema for denne oppgaven; organisasjonsendring i et distriktspolitiskoran, avspeiler mine to faglige hovedorienteringer i studietiden. For det første en opptatthet av regionalpolitiske problemstillinger med spesiell vekt på tiltaksarbeid/tiltaksorganisering som ny distriktspolitiskstrategi. For det andre en teoretisk orientering mot det som er blitt kalt et organisasjonsteoretisk perspektiv ... -

Indigenous agency through normative contestation: defining the scope of free, prior and informed consent in the Russian North
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)This chapter explores how obshchiny, the most numerous grassroots Indigenous peoples’ organizations in contemporary Russia, deal with the challenge of exercising their right to free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). The study nuances our understanding of the agency of obshchiny, drawing much-needed attention to their practices of making a difference in the governance of extractive activities at ... -
Cognitive Neuroscience Perspectives on Language Acquisition and Processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-21)The earliest investigations of the neural implementation of language started with examining patients with various types of disorders and underlying brain damage. The advent of neuroimaging tools in the twentieth century drastically changed the landscape of the field of the (cognitive) neuroscience of language, expanding the variety and depth of research questions one could ask without being ... -
Pushing Normative Change from the Bottom Up. Indigenous Peoples Organizations and Recognition of Indigenous Peoples Rights in Russia
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-12-08)Indigenous peoples and their organizations (IPOs) in the Arctic region and worldwide use international norms to hold governments and extractive corporations accountable for violations of Indigenous peoples’ rights. However, IPOs in undemocratic states face greater obstacles in engaging with these norms, given the government’s limited responsiveness to arguments based on international laws on the ... -

Some Problems for the Phenomenal Approach to Personal Identity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)I present some problems for phenomenal (i.e. consciousness-based) accounts of personal identity and egoistic concern. These accounts typically rely on continuity in the capacity for consciousness to explain how we survive ordinary periods of unconsciousness such as dreamless sleep. I offer some thought experiments where continuity in the capacity for consciousness does not seem sufficient for ... -
Understanding variation in prospective poor decoders: A person-centred approach from kindergarten to Grade 2
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-30)In the present study, we aimed to clarify variation in prospective poor decoders by studying the development of their word decoding skills during the first 1½ years of formal reading education and their unique pre-reading profiles before the onset of formal reading education. Using structural equation modelling and a factorial mixed model analysis of variance (ANOVA), we found autoregression ... -
“Not a Major or Complicated Task”: Activating Dugnad under COVID-19 and the Imagination of Equality in the Norwegian Welfare State
(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 ... -
Sustainability: Critical Reflections on an Apparently Common-Sensical Term
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)In March 20223, the sixth synthesis report penned by the International Panel of Climate Change (Lee et al. 2023) was released. As earlier, the assessments are dire reading and yet again witness of trends going into the wrong direction on almost all important accounts; increase in CO2 emissions, underperforming attempts at cutbacks, rising temperatures on a global scale, missed targets, unpaid ... -
