Funding sources
SKOK participates in two on-going, UiB-funded projects:
- UiB's Humanities Strategy aims to strengthen the quality and societal relevance of the humanities.
- Global Challenges is one of the University’s three strategic areas. This builds on a long tradition of promoting excellent research and education in development-related research. This type of research has been of major societal importance, and has brought a critical scientific perspective to discussions of different global challenges in different arenas locally, nationally and internationally.

Gender, Technology, Participation is a collaborative research project founded to challenge the persistent gender imbalances embedded in the technologies that shape how music is created, performed, recorded, and listened to in the 21st century.
The project's mission is to address gender imbalances in music and sound technologies by working for equal access, representation, and opportunity for women, LGB, trans, and non-binary people. It focuses on creating change by developing research, advancing education, and building networks that advocate for gender equity and representation in all areas of musical life.

To arrive at a more specific understanding of how resilience-informed security assemblages shape global challenges, the project sets out to examine the production of urban security problematics in the context of migration. Empirically, it focuses on transnational networks where security challenges are shaped and circulated.
The project is particularly concerned with reconfigurations of gendered and racialized challenges, as well as new forms of ignorance.
