The role of activity guides as cultural brokers: Children with migrant background` s participation in sports
Participation in sports may foster health and social benefits, alongside belonging and trust, which is thought to promote social integration. “Sports for all,” meaning that sports should be inclusive, democratic, and accessible to all, is a shared vision among public authorities and voluntary sports organizations in Norway (Skille 2011); however, generally, children from minority backgrounds participate less in sports than the rest of the populat…

Stitching People Together: The Art of Cross-Cultural Encounters in an Embroidery Workshop
This article discusses how to live with differences while maintaining differences in an international embroidery workshop in Tromsø, Norway. It explores the role of art in enabling interactions between strangers, showing how individuals become part of collectives and facilitate social change. This collaboration between artist and researcher draws on data from arts-based participant observations and qualitative interviews. The analysis shows how e…
Living With Difference – Interventions for Just Cities
Most cities, including small and medium ones, experience diverse multicultural populations.\nThe sustainability of such diverse cities requires them to be capable of living with differences\nand diversity without producing new social inequalities and sustaining old ones. We argue that\nthere is a need for a new conceptualization with which to approach cultural diversity, differences and similarities in urban planning, in line with Gressgård and J…
Meeting Places and Integration: Participatory Mapping of Cross-Cultural Interactions in Norwegian Cities
Increased immigration into Scandinavia warrants the need for knowledge about differential uses of urban spaces by populations with various cultural backgrounds and the conditions that support cross-cultural interactions in these spaces. Immigrants and native Norwegians in Tromsø and Bodø were encouraged to log information about locations where they spend time on online participatory maps, along with their basic demographic information. We ask (1)…
Vulnerable Spaces of Coproduction: Confronting Predefined Categories through Arts Interventions
Collaboration between researchers and artists is often held as particularly promising to enhance cross-cultural understanding. In this article, two researchers and an artist reflect on the potentials, as well as the pitfalls, of art-based interventions in integration of migrants. Through the performing arts youth project Here I Am, we discuss coproduction methodologies. We emphasize the discomfort in confronting the stereotypes inherent in our pe…
Mobile fathering: Absence and presence of fathers in the petroleum sector in Norway
This article examines the fathering practices of men in mobile work in the petroleum industry in Norway. In particular, it analyses the spatial mobility of these men and how their absence and presence impact their fathering. Drawing on insights from gendered migration and mobility studies, fathering and ‘new material’ approaches, this article nuances the understanding of current fathering practices by showing how physical absence does not necessa…
Will migrant workers rescue rural regions? Challenges of creating stability through mobility
Creating a Man for the Future: A Narrative Analysis of Male In-Migrants and Their Constructions of Masculinities in a Rural Context
Most research on rural masculinity focuses on sedentary and agricultural lifestyles. Based on fieldwork and interviews with 18 male newcomers, this article explores constructions of masculinities among in-migrants engaged in several occupations and entrepreneurial activities in Finnmark, in Northern Norway. Building on the concept of hegemonic masculinities, we show how a specific combination of compact geography, a changing labour market and the…
Highly skilled dependent migrants entering the labour market: Gender and place in skill transfer
The Migrant Making Organization Gender, Labor and Agency in a New Migration Process
Labor migration is increasing in scale and diversity and is characterized by a new feminization. Despite these transformations, a common theme remains unchanged: immigrant workers are employed in low-skilled jobs. This study of labor migration from Russia to Norway analyzes the establishment of a new migration process, who was involved in this migration, and why this migration from Russia to Norway became dominated by women. It also discusses the…
Borders of Understanding: Re-making Frontiers in the Russian–Norwegian Contact Zone
The dismantling of the Iron Curtain changed cooperation and interaction across the Russian–Norwegian border and allowed a huge increase in border crossings. This may be part of what Bauman describes as the ‘liquidizing’ processes of globalization, namely, the making of a ‘borderless world’, which includes processes of ‘de-territorialization’, implying weakened ties between culture and place. Thus, this interdisciplinary analysis of everyday life …
