About

Cecilie Basberg Neumann is a sociologist and holds a PhD in Criminology from the University of Oslo. She is also trained as a Gestalt therapist at the Norwegian Gestalt Institute University College. Neumann is interested in the working conditions of professionals, including the significance of gender, care, and power in professional practice, as well as the state governance of the welfare sectors. Over the past ten years, she has primarily researched child welfare professionals, including the relationships between young people and child welfare workers in child residential institutions and the safeguarding of childrens human rights, and she has also studied how diplomats manage conflicts stemming from international criticism of Norwegian child welfare services. The bulk of Neumann’s research is based on qualitative interviews combined with conversations in the field, observational data, and document analysis, and she is particularly focused on the researcher’s role in knowledge production. She has published in journals such as European Journal of Social Work; Millennium: Journal of International Studies; Hypatia; Gender, Work & Organization; European Journal of International Relations; and Journal of Social Policy.
