| Introduction | I'm a phd-student at Institute for Social Research (Norway). The working title of my phd-project is "Families in change? 'Doing family' among young people with immigrant background with higher education". I've got a Cand. Polit degree in Social Anthropology (University of Oslo). As part of my Cand. Polit degree I wrote a thesis on young muslim women in Norway. The thesis was based on a 11 month long fieldwork conducted among young muslim women in Oslo. |
| Interests | Social and personal identity, ethnicity, religion, gender, the discursive presentation of people with migrant background, especially muslims, in Norway and Europe |
