Research

My dissertation project focuses on the indigenous Sámi populations of Norway and Sweden and the different policies with which the two countries address Indigenous issues. I am interested in the potential ramifications of these policies in terms of horizontal inequality between the Sámi and majority populations.

My main research question is whether the cross-country policy differences are reflected in differences in the Sámi's standings within the overall political and social structures of Norway and Sweden. Furthermore, I investigate preferences towards Sámi policies, both by the Sámi themselves as well as by the majority population.
