“Maybe We Can't Actually Have it All?” Egg Freezing, Solo Motherhood by Donor Conception and Intimate Desires and Normativity in a Late Modern Nordic Welfare State
In this article I discuss the accounts of middle-class women in their 30s living in Norway, who face choices between egg freezing or solo motherhood by donor conception. I show that the women sought Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) as a way of actively managing their intimate and reproductive biography, at a time when their window of fertility was perceived to be closing, and they struggled to establish and maintain a satisfactory hetero…
«Vår generasjons p-pille»? Nedfrysing av egne egg blant kvinner i Norge
Med fraspark i en informants beskrivelse av nedfrysing av egne ubefruktede egg som «vår generasjons p-pille» diskuterer jeg i denne artikkelen i hvilken grad og på hvilke måter kvinner fra millenialgenerasjonen i en nordisk velferdsstat opplever slik nedfrysing som likestillingsfremmende og frigjørende. Diskusjonen baserer seg på den første empiriske studien av kvinners bruk av sosial eggfrysing i Norden, hvor jeg fulgte 22 kvinner som i årene fø…

Freezing for ‘unlove’: Declining fertility, heterosexual partnering and conflicting subjectivities among women pursuing social egg freezing in their 30s in Norway
This article discusses so-called social egg freezing among women in Norway.

I show that ‘desperation’ stands for impulses, desires, priorities and strategies, which are in conflict with an ideal feminine subjectivity – the ‘strong independent …
Policing mental health? Norwegian police’s work with preventing radicalization into violent extremism
In this paper, we investigate how mental health-related issues have become part of the Norwegian police’s practical work in the prevention of violent extremism (PVE). Through interviews with Norwegian police, we show that mental health issues are a recurring part of their PVE work and that operating in the grey area between policing and health care is challenging. We show that for police, assessing whether extreme views and attitudes are just tha…
