Navigating the school-to-work gap
Responsibility is a fundamental aspect of teacher professionalism; however, research on teacher responsibility in vocational contexts is scarce. Drawing on both focus groups and individual interviews with vocational teachers from three vocational programmes, this study examines how vocational teachers perceive and navigate their responsibilities for students’ transitions to apprenticeships. The study is situated in Norway, where vocational educat…
At the Edges of the Welfare State
Romanian Roma who beg and perform street work represent the most visible and acute form of poverty in today’s Norway, but as EU citizens operating outside formal labour markets, they have limited access to social rights and services. Using a street-level bureaucracy perspective, we explore how front-line workers in Norway’s welfare system respond to their needs, on the basis of 21 in-depth interviews with employees in non-governmental organizatio…
Detective Work and Invisible Assessments
Frontline discretion serves as a core function in welfare delivery. However, little is known about the process between input and output of discretionary assessments. As welfare administrations increasingly explore automated decision‐support systems to improve consistency and efficiency, it becomes crucial to understand the mechanisms and reasoning that underpin caseworkers' decisions. Such understanding is essential to inform future discussions a…

Artikkelen undersøker hvordan Nav-veilederes blikk på brukerne og deres problemer formes av de institusjonelle og organisatoriske rammene de jobber under. Datamaterialet består av seks fokusgruppeintervjuer med to ulike grupper Nav-veiledere. Begge gruppene jobber med innvandrede brukere med sammensatte utfordringer i møte med arbeidslivet, men under svært ulike arbeidsbetingelser. Mens den første gruppen jobber med mange brukere, høyt tidspress …

Using a toolkit approach in combination with the concept of street-level bureaucracy and theories of discretion, this article has empirically investigated the resources that influence teachers’ discretionary reasoning when teaching controversial issues. The analysis has been based on 32 classroom observations at two upper secondary schools in Oslo, Norway, in one Religion and Ethics and one Social Science class, and interviews with 16 teachers wh…
Contesting scale
Disasters create spaces for the political to unfold. This paper contributes to the recurring debates on space and the political in geography by providing a novel empirical focus: following a fire in Lærdal, Norway in 2014, contesting discourses on how emergency services should be spatially organized revealed themselves. A scalar discourse of the local, situated in discourses on periphery and rurality in Norway, emerged to contest a neoliberal dis…
