Introduction
I currently work in the position of PhD fellow at the Institute for Health and Society, University of Oslo. My research interests include the SDGs, development aid, gender and development, norm theory, critical knowledge translation studies and human rights. My PhD project is focused on the implementation of gender and health aspects of the SDGs through INGO-initiated development aid projects implemented through or with local partner organisations. I study the role that knowledge translation plays in the design and implementation of these projects, and the way in which conflicting interests, views and values impacted by the projects are expressed and addressed.
Methodologically, I primarily work qualitatively, utilising semi-structured interview techniques and discourse analysis.
