Negotiating Norwegianness
This paper critically examines the concept of othering from the perspective of leaders of volunteer organisations dealing with integration and inclusion of Muslims in Norway. It draws upon theoretical frameworks and empirical insights to explore how dominant narratives shape perceptions of marginalized groups. Through how the participants interpret policy discourse, media representation, and institutional practices, the paper discusses systemic m…
Fruit of the Poisoned Tree
This study explores the contentious discourses surrounding the incorporation of Norwegian Muslims through their own experiences of belonging and othering in the Norwegian public sphere. It highlights the tendency for a negative, homogenising portrayal of Muslims in Norwegian media, which disregards the community's socio-cultural and ethnic diversity. Based on semi-structured interviews with leaders from 20 civil society organisations, this resear…
Negotiated Conversion
Religious conversion is not the rote copying of information from a communicator to a recipient. Rather, it is a complex and multifaceted process located within neophytes and abstracted from and dissipated through their social networks. This paper explores a group of Chinese international students who had converted or were converting to Christianity. Our aim is to show that the conversions observed among the participants revealed a complex set of …
Narratives and Practices of Migrant and Minority Incorporation in European Societies
Unmasking autism
Gender plays a critical role in the recognition, diagnosis, and support of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This qualitative study explores the perspectives of special education professionals, who are involved in both diagnosing and following up children with Autism, on how ASD manifests in girls and the diagnostic challenges that arise. Although boys are more frequently diagnosed—and often at younger ages—emerging research and clini…
Bridging the first step
Introduction The transition from kindergarten to school is a major developmental milestone for all children, and it is particularly demanding for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) due to their heightened need for structure, predictability, and emotional security. This study investigates how special educators in one Norwegian municipality facilitate this transition, emphasizing continuity in routines, collaboration, and pedagogical stra…
Like the Angel of Death Appearing to Take the Children Away’
This study explores the perceptions of Norway's Child Welfare Services (CWS), or barnevernet , among first‐generation Muslim migrant parents. It focuses on how personal experiences and community narratives shape attitudes. Using data from semi‐structured interviews with 24 first‐generation Muslim migrant parents, the findings reveal a stark contrast between firsthand experiences and secondhand accounts. Participants who had direct contact with th…
The presentation and self-presentation of mosques in Norwegian mediascapes
Mosques in Norway are subjected to high levels of suspicion and scrutiny and have frequently been the target of negatively charged media narratives. When examined, though, much of this reporting, even from respected outlets, is wholly unsubstantiated. Some have circular narratives where the source for the stories seems to be the organisations’ failure to proactively refute them. Other reporting contains no explicit allegations, but take a suspici…
Extending the Field of Extended Language
Figurative and extended uses of language are nonliteral utterances such as irony, sarcasm, and idioms and comprise a core part of social interaction. Children with typical development (TD) show a progressive adultlike understanding of figurative language around the age of ten. In contrast, individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or developmental lan…
Language Relations on Shamian
This ethnographic study of a souvenir shop in China involves customers who typically use one of three languages: Cantonese, Mandarin or English. Arguably a triglossia, the languages have different connotations in terms of formality and intimacy. The language used positions the speaker within a cognitive map of sociability, affecting the treatment of the customer. This study finds that the speakers of the more intimate language tend to get better …
International studies as global capital
This is an ethnographic study of a group of Chinese students in Norway, and the ways in which their sojourns may be implemented for identity work. They speak of their home country in binary terms, juxtaposing it to the developed world. The areas in which they disparage China most are areas such as freedom of choice, and the control over one’s own life trajectory. Thus, through studying in a developed country, they seek to gain a wider range of po…
Ethnic enclaves transcending space Chinese international students’ social networks in a European University town
Each ethnic enclave has its own idiosyncrasies, leading to disagreements as to the functions they serve for the migrants inhabiting them. However, three main functions may be identified across scholarly literature: shielding, economic and cultural. This article explores to what extent the spatial organization of the ethnic enclave is necessary for fulfilling these functions by taking the case of the Chinese international students in a Norwegian t…
