With great power comes great responsibility: why ‘safe enough’ is not good enough in debates on new gene technologies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-25)New genomic techniques (NGTs) are powerful technologies with the potential to change how we relate to our food, food producers, and natural environment. Their use may afect the practices and values our societies are built on. Like many countries, the EU is currently revisiting its GMO legislation to accommodate the emergence of NGTs. We argue that assessing such technologies according to whether ... -
Er kjærlighet en forutsetning for rettferdighet?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-12)Martha Nussbaum mener at forsvarere av samtidige liberale rettferdighetsteorier ikke har tatt innover seg det hun kaller anstendige samfunns moralpsykologi. Alle samfunn trenger emosjonell støtte, dette gjelder også liberale rettferdige samfunn. Liberale og rettferdige institusjoner som ivaretar menneskets verdighet, frihet, toleranse og respekt forutsetter at borgerne føler kjærlighet til disse ... -
Texture and (Arts) Education -Encouraging Attention, Awareness and Sensitivity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-10)In this article, the complexities of the concept of texture and its relationship to (arts) education, here with a specific focus on attention, awareness and sensitivity, are explored and elaborated upon. Texture can be described simply as the visual and tactile character of surfaces, which covers both nature and culture and, indeed, much of life itself. The overall aim of the article is to explore ... -
Monolingual comparative normativity in bilingualism research is out of “control”: Arguments and alternatives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-11)Herein, we contextualize, problematize, and offer some insights for moving beyond the problem of monolingual comparative normativity in (psycho) linguistic research on bilingualism. We argue that, in the vast majority of cases, juxtaposing (functional) monolinguals to bilinguals fails to offer what the comparison is supposedly intended to do: meet the standards of empirical control in line with the ... -
Sametingets relevans og rekkevidde
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-29)Sametinget, som et direkte folkevalgt organ av og for samer, kan sies å være etablert for å utøve selvbestemmelse for et eget urfolkspolitisk fellesskap innenfor staten. Det er en institusjon som imidlertid har betydelige tillitsutfordringer hos samer og i sitt nære omland. Artikkelen ser på betingelsene for Sametingets relevans og rekkevidde for sikring av kulturelt fellesskap og tilrettelegging ... -

Tarjei Vesaas og norsk litteratur i Nazi-Tyskland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-31)Artikkelen undersøkjer publiseringshistoria til Tarjei Vesaas i Nazi-Tyskland. Det nye materialet den tilfører, er i hovudsak basert på materiale etter Det litterære byrå på Lillehammer, ein aktør som knapt er nemnd i norsk litteratur- og bokhistorie. I det transnasjonale og bokhistoriske perspektivet som dette opnar, får vi eit breiare, meir differensiert og delvis anna bilete av Vesaas og nazismen ... -
Ubehagelige tema i samfunnsfagundervisning
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-13)Denne masteroppgaven omhandler ubehagelige tema i samfunnsfagundervisning. Hva som oppleves ubehagelig, og hvor sterkt ubehaget oppleves, varierer fra lærer til lærer. Noe som likevel går igjen i oppgaven, er at de ubehagelige opplevelsene til lærerne ofte innebærer følelser som frustrasjon, usikkerhet, oppgitthet og bekymring. Studien er kvalitativ og tar utgangspunkt i følgende problemstilling: ... -
Å ta eierskap. Samisk bygningsrelatert kunst
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-15)I denne artikkelen undersøkes bygningsrelatert kunst i et utvalg offentlige bygninger i Sápmi fra 1960-tallet til i dag, som et bidrag til å skape samisk identitet og tilhørighet. Artikkelen setter søkelyset først og fremst på de permanente kunstverkene som har vært en del av arkitekturen og satt sitt preg på denne, men trekker også inn mer temporære prosjekter. Med drivkraft i samisk selvrepresentasjon ... -
Toward a Diagnostics of the Present: Popular Culture, Post-Apocalyptic Macro-Dystopia, and the Petrification of Politics
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-12)According to Fredric Jameson (2016: 1), “we have seen a marked diminution in the production of new utopias over the last decades (along with an overwhelming increase in all manner of conceivable dystopias, most of which look monotonously alike)”. This assessment is seconed by Jürgen Habermas (2019 [1985]: 161) who draws attention to the problematic consequences of such a lack of utopian thinking. ... -
Spot the Miner: Do Clothes Really Make the (Wo)man?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-27)Coal mining is an industry that is associated with hard physical labor and harsh mental conditions. Modern artistic projects involving portraits of miners evolve as artists' responses to political and economic changes in the mining industry, which is currently in decline, and place a major focus on miner communities, rather than individual miners. This article presents an overview of relevant selected ... -

Furthermore, the recent curriculum inclusion of multimodal texts in the English subject increases its relevance for both practice and research. The ... -
Cyclic feeding interactions between finite-state mal-rules: an algorithm for the optimal grouping and ordering of morphophonological mal-rules
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)Intelligent Language Tutoring Systems typically attempt to automatically diagnose learner errors in order to provide individualized feedback. One common approach is the use of mal-rules to extend normative grammars by licensing specific types of learner errors. In finite-state morphologies, mal-rules can be implemented as two-level rules or replace rules. However, unlike the phonological rules of ... -
Social context effects on emotional language: The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the emotional evaluation of words
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-22)The COVID-19 pandemic has altered our routines, our conversations, the specific social contexts in which we hear or use certain words, and potentially, the representation of the words related to the disease and its consequences. Here we investigated whether the effects of the pandemic have changed the representation of the affective features of COVID-19-related words. To this aim, we collected new ... -

In two of her five crime novels, Kullunge and Den døde i Barentsburg, ... -
Review of 'Mixed categories: The morphosyntax of noun modification'
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-12-04)A scientific theory is judged by its ability to provide a principled explanation of less straightforward facts that lie at the margins of the data normally discussed and captured by other theories. To the extent that those data naturally follow from the new proposal, that theory is successfull in defining a new paradigm. Mixed Categories, by Irina Nikolaeva and Andrew Spencer, is an excellent example ... -
Vulnerable Spaces of Coproduction: Confronting Predefined Categories through Arts Interventions.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-04-02)Collaboration between researchers and artists is often held as particularly promising to enhance cross-cultural understanding. In this article, two researchers and an artist reflect on the potentials, as well as the pitfalls, of art-based interventions in integration of migrants. Through the performing arts youth project Here I Am, we discuss coproduction methodologies. We emphasize the discomfort ... -

Risikofaktorer knyttet til mobbing, en kvantitativ studie- Risikofaktorer i Kvellomalen, og hvordan de predikerer/reduserer mobbing
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-11-05)Mobbing er en velkjent faktor som truer skoletrivsel og skolefungering hos barn. Kvellomalen er den mest brukte beslutningsmalen hos den norske barneverntjenesten. En evaluering av Kvellomalen konkluderer med at skoletrivsel og fungering ikke etterspørres eksplisitt. Skoletrivsel og skolefungering er en av de viktigste prediktorene for hvordan barn i kontakt med barnevernet klarer seg senere i livet. ... -
A Constructicon for Russian: Filling in the Gaps
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018)The Russian Constructicon project currently prioritizes multi-word constructions that are not represented in dictionaries and that are especially useful for learners of Russian. The immediate goal is to identify constructions and determine the semantic constraints on their slots. The Russian Constructicon is being built in parallel with the Swedish Constructicon and will ultimately model the entire ...
