I am a senior researcher employed by the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University (UU), and based at the Norwegian Semper Arctic project team at the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities at University of Bergen (UiB).
I have a mixed background with a training in science and technology (Narvik University College) and in educational research (PhD from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, HVL). My PhD research (monograph) focused on institutional culture in higher education institutions and how educators operate in the field of tension between government regulation and institutional freedom.
From 2021, I have been associate professor at HVL until Autumn 2023, where I have developed, coordinated and taught several MSc courses and have been supervising MSc students. At present I am a guest researcher at UiB.
My present work at UU/UiB is in the field of environmental studies / environmental humanities and is part of the Semper Arctic [2020-2024] international research project funded under the Belmont Forum. The Semper Arctic project elicits local stories of changes, crises and shocks in three Arctic communities in Greenland and Russia, and analyses in an interdisciplinary way how these narratives incorporate notions of resilience.
Within Semper Arctic I work on reflexivity (WP2) and resilience (WP5). I review how the concerns and local knowledge of local communities are represented in scientific articles by 15 practicing researchers working with local communities. I focus on what pitfalls and challenges researchers face when working with local communities and how researchers handle these. My analysis is further based on qualitative interviews with the 15 selected researchers that work with local communities. Further I work on resilience to long-term changes in the Semper Arctic case study areas.
