Leadership and provider responsibilities in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care
Purpose This article investigates the relationship between centre leaders and providers in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centres, studying the shared responsibility for implementing national framework goals. The study examines both public and private ECEC services, focusing on the tensions between the administrative capacity of providers and the autonomy of centre leaders. We ask: How do centre leaders assess providers’ reso…
Psychiatry in the sorting of schoolchildren in Scandinavia 1920–1950
This article explores the role of psychiatry in the sorting of schoolchildren in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden from 1920 to 1950. Whereas the role and rise of educational psychology and IQ-testing in the differentiation processes in schooling have been examined through earlier research, the role of psychiatry in the interprofessional collaboration has so far been largely unexplored when it comes to the Scandinavian case. In line with Michel Foucaul…
From Equality to Equivalence
This article investigates a shift in the justifying ideas in Norwegian public health and immigrant policies. Between 1970 and 2009, equality was gradually supplanted with equivalence as the main principle evoked in policy formulation.

Established in 2005, this relationship course aimed at first-time parent couples is offered free of charge by municipal health centres. Scrutiny of national policy documents and political debate and of the course handbooks presented to couples, makes visible a …

The establishing of Norwegian child psychiatry
In this article we analyse the central features of the establishment and development in Norway of a mental health service for children. Influenced by the movements for mental hygiene and child guidance from the 1920s, Norwegian psychiatrists turned their attention increasingly towards prevention of mental and social problems. During the 1930s, IQ-testing and segregation of troublesome children from school became an important tool for handling chi…
