      Aure, Marit; Riabova, Larissa (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-10-18)

This chapter discusses the role of emotions in migration and rural development after the return of migrants, drawing on studies of temporary labour migration from Teriberka, a small coastal village in ...

      Aure, Marit; Førde, Anniken (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-02)

We argue that there is a need for a new conceptualization with which to approach cultural diversity, differences and similarities ...

      Aure, Marit; Førde, Anniken; Magnussen, Tone (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-16)
      Many rural communities experience new growth through in-migration. In Herøy, Northern Norway, this is a result of increased labour migration in the fishing industry and a comprehensive effort by the municipality to encourage migrant workers to settle there. This paper addresses the ambiguities of creating stability through mobility. Through a case study from Herøy, we explore the complex relations ...
