About

Kristin Vindhol Evensen is a kindergarten teacher with a minor degree in adapted physical activity and a Master's degree in special needs education, specialized in intellectual disability. In her PhD from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences, she investigated how children with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) express their perspectives through movements. Further, she has developed reserach methodologies useful when including participants that communicate non-symbolically, eg. when people have severe or profound intellectual disabilities combined with severe autism spectrum diagnoses. 

Kristin has utilized the embodied phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty in her work. She has also included Queer theory (Ahmed), crip theory (McRuer), micro-sociology (Goffman) and power (Foucault) to understand power structures creating outsiderness and inclusion.
