In residence: October 2025

Ragnhild Bjørnsen is a researcher in childhood studies at Inland Norway University. Her work centres around children living in hypermobility, whether it is themselves or significant others who move. Through a lens of Psychological Anthropology, she unravels interrelationships of childhood, life-course, and the powerful institutions that influence children and youth's everyday lives. Her case studies include the Norwegian Foreign Service and Longyearbyen, a socially transient Arctic settlement under Norwegian authority.
