About

I specialize in research on work inclusion and topics related to NAV, with a particular focus on competence development in NAV offices and the role of employers in advancing inclusion efforts.

In addition to my research, I host KAI-podden, a podcast produced by the Center for Work Inclusion. In this podcast I have conversations with researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore issues such as work inclusion, social exclusion, and welfare policy.

I hold a master’s degree in psychology from the University of Oslo (2013) and a PhD in the study of professions from OsloMet (2020). At OsloMet, I also teach courses in quantitative methods and psychology.

Competency at Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) offices

Completed research projects

Sustained employment of 'hard-to-place' citizens in small and medium sized enterprises: A mixed-method study in Norway and the Netherlands (ENGAGE)
We aim to develop new knowledge about how small and medium sized enterprises (SME) can contribute successfully to the sustained workplace inclusion of vulnerable ‘hard-to-place’ citizens, and can be supported effectively in doing so.
Work inclusion in Norway: A scoping review
The aim of this project is to describe and map research regarding work inclusion in a Norwegian context.
