    • The fight against domestic violence in East Timor. Forgetting the perpetrators 

      Bye, Hanne Hovde (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2005-12-14)
      War is an extreme situation where nationalism and solidarity are decisive factors. With peace in East Timor, men and women are returning back to daily life, but whereas men are expecting to return to the more traditional way of living, women – having adapted to a new way of living and often have become more independent – seem to want to expand on the new roles they gained during the occupation. ...

    • Skolemobbing. Fred og ufred i et flerkulturelt område i Nord-Norge

Can we dare and raise such a question with regard to a phenomenon so prolonged in time and so diversified in its appearances and explanations – a human phenomenon which started as early as the charge of deicide, and which is present during a couple of thousands of years, as steady ...
