The personal, academic and political dimensions of researching domestic violence
Research on domestic and gender-based violence is vital for informing policy, shaping interventions and driving social change. However, conducting research in this sensitive field carries significant emotional, professional and ethical challenges that remain underexplored. This article offers a reflective methodological contribution, examining the personal and structural costs of researching domestic violence and other sensitive topics in academi…
Mapping Practitioners' Perspectives on the Interaction of Intimate Partner Violence and Digital Inequalities in Norway's Digital Transformation Context
Conceptualising TechViolence Nexus
This short communication is based on a qualitative study investigating the relationship between digital technologies and gender-based violence (GBV). The term, TechViolence Nexus , introduced in this article, offers an in-depth understanding of the cyclic interaction between digital coercive control and (socio)digital inequalities. It highlights the ambiguities created by technologies in victim-survivors’ lives, revealing the ways in which digita…
Why do people participate in research interviews? Participant orientations and ethical contracts in interviews with victims of interpersonal violence
Researchers are increasingly interested in why people want to participate in qualitative interview studies, particularly what they hope to gain from participating. The present paper contributes to this research agenda by analysing the motivations of victims of interpersonal violence: a group that is considered ethically challenging to involve in research, given their history of being intruded upon. The analysis is based on 174 qualitative intervi…

Ordinær møter ekstraordinær
Denne artikkelen er et bidrag til å forstå vold i parforhold og voldsutsattes reaksjoner og strategier. Gjennom tankefiguren «ordinær møter ekstraordinær» og sosiologiske begreper om kjønnet relasjonsarbeid kombinerer artikkelen forståelser som vektlegger individuell psykopatologi og marginalisering og en feministisk forståelse som vektlegger kjønn og makt. Disse settes ofte opp mot hverandre, og artikkelen er et bidrag til å bygge bro mellom dem…
Speaking the Unspeakable
This article explores the extent to which the human rights framework relating to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is upheld in the Norwegian asylum system, by investigating if and how asylum bureaucrats enable the disclosure of SGBV and how such disclosure may impact the assessment of applicants’ credibility. Credibility assessment is important in deciding who is eligible for protection. Eliciting disclosures of SGBV in general is notoriou…
Men’s Rights Activism and Anti-Feminist Resistance in Turkey and Norway
This article, by addressing the growing anti-feminist activism and mobilization and its consequences for gender equality and women’s rights, sheds light on anti-feminist resistance in Turkey and Norway. Using the concept of counter movement, we study men’s rights mobilization in Turkey and Norway, two countries with different histories and realities of women’s rights and gender equality. We first compare how the respective men’s rights movements …
Norwegian Shelters for Victims of Domestic Violence in the Covid-19 Pandemic – Navigating the New Normal
This study elucidates the responses of shelters and their adaptations to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects on their services to victims of violence, as well as how shelter managers assess the situation for victims, including changes in the rates and character of the violence observed by the shelters. A web-based survey was distributed twice to all Norwegian shelters ( N = 46): first during the lockdown in spring 2020 and second during the re…
Measuring violence, mainstreaming gender
This article contributes to the methodological debate on how to define and measure violence in order to more effectively capture gendered patterns of exposure to violence in survey studies. The authors take as their starting point Walby and Towers’ proposals to mainstream gender in surveys, and to define violence more narrowly by adding the concept of injury. This article applies Walby and Towers’ quality criteria to a Norwegian survey on violenc…
Same but different
This article explores how families with young children arrive at and live with different work–family adaptations within a welfare state that strongly supports the dual earner/dual carer model – that of Norway. It draws on a qualitative study among Norwegian-born and Polish-born parents, representing, respectively, ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ views on this model. The analysis aims at capturing the dynamic interplay between structures and policies, an…

Gendering the Recession
Changing Men, Changing Times - Fathers and Sons from an Experimental Gender Equality Study
The aim of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework for addressing intergenerational transmission, historical change and agency. The framework will be employed to analyse the findings from a longitudinal follow-up study over two generations of men, where couples from Norway participated in an experimental research study, the Work-Sharing Couples Project, which aimed to promote egalitarian work-family adaptations in the early 1970s. The ori…
Am I rambling?' on the advantages of interviewing couples together
This article addresses a methodological controversy regarding the question of whether couples should ideally be interviewed together or apart. It draws on three different studies in which joint couple interviews were used either as the sole source of data or in combination with individual interviews. The authors focus on the specifics and strengths of joint couple interviews, and they argue that interviewing couples together has several advantage…
How men became the local agents of change towards gender equality
The Work-Sharing Couples Study was an action research project conducted in the early 1970s to reconcile work, family and gender equality in families. Its design involved both spouses working part-time and sharing childcare and housework. This article is based on a follow-up study of the original couples 30 years later. The men played a key role in initiating work-sharing in their families and how the men became agents of change is the topic of th…
