När barnet blir expert: Förklaringar av ord och procedurer i det digitala spelet Growtopia
2019
The ability to explain word meanings is central to a child’s language development and socialisation into different domains of language use. In previous research explanations have been shown to be linked to cognitive and linguistic development as well as academic language and discursive skills. This paper analyses what kinds of linguistic and discursive competences are put to use in explanation activities in interactions between an 8-year-old bilingual child (Albin) and his mother around a digital game. The data comes from a larger data set of video-recordings and field observation of children’s interactions around games. The analysis focuses on explanation sequences in which the child expli…
Raske karrierer eller harmoniske familieliv? : En tematisk analyse av førsteamanuensers verdier i et kjønnsperspektiv
2021
Master's thesis in Sociology and social work (ME524) This thesis mainly centers around associate professors and what they express to be their core personal values with respect to work and life, in general, where these values are discussed in a gender perspective. Fewer women, than men, reach professorship at universities, and men on average also achieve this academic goal faster than women. The relationship between this gender imbalance and the personal values is the focal point of the discussion. The empirical evidence is based on five interviews with three female, and two male associate professors. Through qualitative methods and thematic analysis, the personal values such as teaching/sup…

The Underrepresentation of Female Personalities in EDM : A Closer Look into the “Boys Only”-Genre
2017
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2017 EDM, or Electronic Dance Music for short, has become a big and lucrative genre. The once nerdy and uncool phenomenon has become quite the profitable business. Superstars along the lines of Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Avicii, and Tiësto have become the rock stars of today, and for many, the role models for tomorrow. This is though not the case for females. The British magazine DJ Mag has an annual contest, where listeners and fans of EDM can vote for their favorite DJs. In 2016, the top 100-list only featured three women; Australian twin duo NERVO and Ukrainian hardcore DJ Miss K8. Nor is it easy to find female DJs and acts o…

Causal complexity of new product development processes : a mechanism-based approach
2018
The outcomes of new product development (NPD) processes are dependent on the interplay of several interdependent activities. One product development activity can be dependent on the presence or absence of other activities, different kinds of NDP processes may lead to the same outcome, and specific kinds of activities may have a positive effect in one process but no effect in other processes. However, we currently lack means to examine and explain this causal complexity inherent in NPD processes. To address this issue, we introduce mechanism-based approach as a way to capture conjunctural and equifinal causal relations. We build this approach on the philosophical literature on mechanism-base…
