(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-12)This paper explores Members of Parliament (MPs) perceptions of non-profit sector added value by analysing Norwegian parliamentary debates (2018–2020) through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA).

Føles som hjemme. Menigheten som familie.
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)«Selv om vi var langt unna, med mange fremmede, føltes det fortsatt som hjemme», sa Ruth om menigheten hun var en del av. Men, hva er egentlig et hjem? Marianne Gullestad skriver at «ordet hjem bringer sammen i ett begrep både ideen om et sted og ideen om et sosialt fellesskap knyttet til dette stedet» (1989, s. 54). Som jeg vil vise i dette kapitlet, er ikke et hjem bare en fysisk struktur, men ... -

We explore three scenarios in which Norway's hydrogen export market may develop: A Business-as-usual, B Moderate Onshore, C Accelerated Offshore. Applying a sector-coupled energy system model, we examine the techno-economic viability, spatial and socio-economic considerations for blue and green hydrogen export in the ... -

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? -
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.

We find that hunter-gatherer children are ... -

“That-which-must-not-be-named”: hunting, secrecy, and the ontology of meat in northeast China
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-22)In this paper, I describe the practice of sharing and eating wild meat amongst the Orochen in northeast China, a community of hunters who are no longer allowed to hunt due to state conservation policies.

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-14)Municipal amalgamation reforms have taken place across democratic regimes since the 1960s.

Hostile Film: Documentary as The Vehicle of Political Conflict
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Documentary-film scholar Stella Bruzzi highlights the increasingly reflexive approach of contemporary independent filmmakers.

Freedom - feeling free in an (un)free world
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-08-18)This chapter explores what it means and how feels like to be free in social life.

Whereas economists, political scientists and political philosophers discuss freedom in ... -

(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 ... -
