Interorganisational Collaboration in a Norwegian Prison—Challenges and Opportunities Arising from Interagency Meetings
2021
AbstractIn prison, the provision of care and the surveillance of inmates takes place in multiple locations with several often contradictory demands. Inmates may experience a fragmentation of services because of the separate silos in which criminal justice service and mental health professionals work and the distinct ways of working that develop within these. A greater alignment between services is required. This chapter focuses on interagency meetings in a Norwegian prison. These are groups that aim to develop an holistic perspective of the inmate’s situation and problems, and are seen as an innovative way to overcome the contradiction between ‘treatment’ and ‘punishment’ prison paradigms a…
construction of a ‘traumatized’ refugee child in need of safety in Norwegian kindergartens
2022
This paper explores how kindergarten teachers relate to the concept of safety in the integration of refugee children. My research findings reveal that the concept of safety, or trygghet in Norwegian, is understood as emotional support and comfort accorded to children. The notion of trygghet emerges as an important value-laden concept that shapes and largely influences teachers’ everyday work, and how they relate to children and their parents. The idea of safety is traceable within an institutional discourse mediated by social technology, such as the International Child Development Programme and the Resource Centre for Violence and Trauma programmes, which have their roots in psy-discourses.…
The role of the voluntary sector for the integration of immigrant women : a case study of the Volunteer Central in Vennesla, Norway

Master's thesis Global development and planning UT505 - University of Agder 2017 This thesis explores the role of the Volunteer Central in integration work of immigrant women in Vennesla in Norway, according to subjective experiences of immigrant women and impressions of Norwegian women connected to the organization.

Utvikling av nye fellesmoduler innen sosialarbeiderutdanningene i Midt-Norge og Universitetet i Agder
2015
- I Stortingsmelding nr. 13 (2011-2012) Utdanning for velferd. Samspill i praksis (Samspillsmeldingen) kap. 9.7.1 påpekes spesielt utfordringer innen utdanning til sosialfaglig arbeid og det å få tydeliggjort sosialfaglig felleskompetanse. Det er behov for endring innenfor hver av BSV-utdanningene og i samspillet mellom dem. Det ønskes bredere grunnutdanninger og mer tverrfaglig samarbeid. Det er nødvendig med flere faglige felleselementer og tverrprofesjonell samarbeidslæring, og den sosialfaglige kompetansen må styrkes. Kunnskapsdepartementet bestemte seg for gjennomføring av et nasjonalt SAK-prosjekt som skulle ledes av UHR. I regi av UHR er St.meld. 13 blitt fulgt opp med prosjektet Sos…
Videreutdanning i barnevernfaglig veiledning – hvorfor, hvordan og hva videre?
2016
Dette er den aksepterte manuskriptversjonen. Publisert versjon tilgjengelig på http://doi.org/10.18261/issn.1891-1838-2016-03-04-07 Store belastninger, spesielt for nyansatte, er en kjent utfordring for barneverntjenesten. Svært mange ansatte velger å slutte i barnevernet, og dette er et problem for tjenestene som mister kompetanse og kontinuitet. For å styrke tjenestene iverksatte den forrige regjeringen satsingen barnevernløftet (Barne-, likestillings- og inkluderingsdepartementet, 2012–2013). Barnevernløftet innebærer blant annet et ressursløft der kompetanseheving står sentralt. Et viktig verktøy i arbeidet med å heve kompetansen i barnevernet er veiledning, og ideen er å innføre dette …

Social Services, Social Innovation and Multi-Actor Collaboration: A Civil Society Organisation Perspective
2022
A central focus of this PhD dissertation is to advance an understanding of how social innovation is generated through the perspective of civil society organisations (CSOs) that provide social services to vulnerable groups through collaboration with multiple actors in the fragile context, with a legacy of war. An “agency-structure” approach has been applied as an overarching perspective throughout this dissertation. Theories such as institutional theory (new institutionalism and institutional networking), resource-dependency theory as well as the concepts of social innovation, collaboration, non-state service provision, NGO-isation and the third sector-public services provision present the m…
Sexual violence and children's rights : A mixed methods study of teachers' and students' perceptions of teaching practice in social science education.

The purpose of this doctoral dissertation in social science education is to explore teachers' and students' perceptions of teaching practice related to gender, sexuality, harassment, and abuse in upper secondary school in Norway. This is an article-based dissertation consisting of three articles and an extended abstract.

Previous research has indicated that teaching practice on gender, sexuality, harassment and abuse varies greatly, but few studies have thoroughly examined how we can understand this v…
Morskap, migrasjon og digitale medier : En institusjonell etnografi av den digitaliserte hverdagen til mødre med migrasjonsbakgrunn
2021
Paper III will be available from 25/11/2021. In the dissertation, I explore how mothers who have migrated to Norway as adults experience mothering in today’s digitalised Norwegian society. Unique to my project is that I study how practices and ideals related to both parenting and digitalisation in welfare state institutions may shape how migrant mothers’ experience their mothering. I also contribute to the discussion of what social work can include, at a time when digitalisation is changing family life, social work and society at large.
