Bureaucracy of Gender Equality

I participated in the exploratory phase of a research project that will ultimately become part of a book. In this project we examined two things; First, the gender equality conceptions and preferences of bureaucrats, the composition of their bureaucracies, and how well these match the general population, building on the ideas of representative bureaucracy: Secondly, we investigate the drivers of Nordic gender equality policies, with particular focus on international actors, such as the Nordic council and the EU, and how the actors involved might affect one another.

Forskning på tause barn i barnehage og skole

Vi har vært så heldig å få lov til å delta i UiAs FoU prosjekt ”Kapasitetsbygging i barnehagen når barn unngår å snakke” ved forsker Heidi Omdal. Takket være midler fra Universitetet har vi som er studenter på spesialpedagogikk 2, lært mye om temaet selektiv mutisme og kapasitetsbygging og fått et innblikk i en forsker hverdag. Barn med selektiv mutisme unngår å snakke i situasjoner der verbal tale er forventet.
