About

Tangeland is Research Director for Department for Youth Research Section at NOVA, a leading research environment in Norway that covers a wide range of topics related to young people’s life situations and growing up.

Tangeland has a Master in Marketing management form BI Norwegian Business School from 2004 and has a PhD in nature-based tourism from NMBU from 2012. From 2005 to 2012, he worked as a researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), focusing on nature use (tourism and outdoor life) and conflicts related to the use and management of nature. From 2012 to 2024, he was employed as a researcher at the Consumer Research Institute SIFO. Here, he worked on a wide range of issues related to consumption: payment problems, the reference budget, market access, marketing, digital everyday life, and sustainable consumption development. Between 2017 and 2024, he was the research leader for the Technology & Sustainability research group at SIFO. During his time at SIFO, a central focus area was the role consumers can play in the green shift of society and how new technology and social innovations can contribute to reducing the negative climate and environmental impacts of consumption.
