About
Marthe Handå Myhre is a social scientist who specializes in Russia and Ukraine. Marthe has researched Russian migration and citizenship policies and the relationship between state and society in Russia. In 2018 – 2021 she worked on the ARDU project, which looked at the interplay between ethnicity, language and regional/local identity in the context of political reform in Ukraine. In particular, Marthe studied language policy and legislative changes that affected the language of instruction in Ukrainian schools. From 2020 to 2023 she was a postdoctoral fellow on the PRORUSS project, which studied the potential for Russian soft power in Europe. Marthe has been and continues to be involved in several projects on the integration of Ukrainian refugees in Norway and other Nordic countries. Her research interests include nation building, nationalism, migration and citizenship. She is one of the coordinators UKRAINETT – the Norwegian network for research on Ukraine (uni.oslomet.no/ukrainett/), and is a member of the editorial board of the Scandinavian-language journal Nordisk Østforum (tidsskriftet-nof.no/index.php/noros).
