Gendered Agency and Subjectivity in Hanna Pylväinen's "We Sinners" (2012) and North American (ex-) Laestadian Women's Life Narratives
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2018-06-04)Despite the poly-vocal and heterogeneous gendered realities that come through in "We Sinners" and (ex-) Laestadian women's life narratives, from the perspectives of secular society and mainstream feminism, the role or place of North American Laestadian women—in the “home,” “social networks,” and “believer communities”—would likely be interpreted as laden with patriarchal oppression.

Knowing What, Knowing How, or Knowing Where? How Technology Challenges Concepts of Knowledge
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-11-18)When bringing innovative technology into school education it has been challenging to get full benefits from the technology. Instead of seeking new ways of teaching we tend to adapt the use of technology to traditional ways of teaching. This can relate to the fact that we lack theoretical concepts that help us rethink and revise our practices. In Norwegian curriculum we see different learning discourses ... -
Name-calling: The Russian 'new Vocative' and its status
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-18)Henning Andersen (2012) points out that the Russian “new Vocative” (e.g., мам! ‘mama!’, Саш! ‘Sasha!’) presents a series of unusual behaviors that set it apart from ordinary case marking. Andersen argues that the Vocative should not be considered a declensional word form of nouns. The Russian Vocative is certainly an uncommon linguistic category, but does this entail setting up a new tran- scategorial ... -
How Much Better than Death Is Ordinary Human Survival?
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-03)According to common sense and a majority of philosophers, death can be bad for the person who dies. This is because it can deprive the dying person of life worth living. I accept that death can be bad in this way, but argue that most people greatly overestimate the magnitude of this form of badness. They do so because they significantly overestimate the goodness of what death deprives us of: ordinary ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-11-18)Despite substantial national effort to integrate technology in education, it seems that practitioners in the education system are not working in line with the given policy. Evidence from large-scale studies of students’ technology practices at school over the last decade show disparities in student practices. The observed gap between the micro and the macro level call for a closer exploration. ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2018-05-29)This thesis sets out to explore women's road narratives in terms of mobility, place and identity. Since the publication of Jack Kerouac's masterpiece On the Road, road narratives have been a recurring feature in American literature and culture. However, the female aspect of this genre remains under-explored. Literary works by and of women on the road are generally overlooked. The muteness of this ... -
