About

Maren Svendsen Folkvord has worked over two years at the Childhood, Family and Child Welfare section at Nova, where she researched vulnerable young people and their families. She holds a master's degree in sociology from the University of Oslo (2021). The master's thesis was about differences between digital and bodily interaction between people, as well as the creation and feeling of community and intimacy. Folkvord's research interests include vulnerable children and young people, child welfare services, digital communication and social media, school and education, body and emotions, exclusion, inclusion, friendship and community.

Currently, Folkvord is a Doctoral research fellow at Østfold University College. The project's aim to explore children and young people's everyday life at care institutions in the Østfold region. In this study, Folkvord will conduct fieldwork, including interviews, observations, various creative methods and Q-method. She also wants to include young people as co-researchers in the research process. In today's society, digitalisation permeates children and young people's upbringing and everyday life. It is therefore important to protect young people from online risks, while at the same time it is also important that adults recognise that the digital arenas have great value in young people's everyday lives. In an institutional context, digitalisation can present new challenges, and institutional staff have expressed concern about the inability to protect children from the dangers they expose themselves to through electronic means of communication. In order to bring out the young people's subjective everyday experiences, Folkvord will use a phenomenological and everyday sociological approach in her fieldwork.
