The African Diaspora in Norway – Gender Relations + Organisational Life (OsloMet)
About us
We are a small research group investigating various aspects of integration into Norwegian society among African minority communities. Through qualitative methods, we have examined the fear of CPS among Africans and minority perspectives on elder care in Norway. Currently, we are planning two to three projects that will examine changing gender relations in the African diaspora and organisations that promote the interests of Africans in Norway, respectively.
We are looking for
We have access to extensive professional networks and research contexts. However, it is advantageous if a candidate with an African ethnic background who wishes to conduct research, either on gender relations or organisational life, can draw at least partially on private contacts and network resources. Other projects and approaches concerning the African diaspora in Norway are of interest to us, and we can facilitate collaboration.
We expect two or three candidates to conduct interviews or participatory observations and to contribute to the research group’s focus. In return, candidates will receive supervision by researchers working in the field and participate as members of the group. The projects might be relevant to social work students, child welfare students, family therapy students, and, perhaps especially, international students (NORPOL).
