QUEERDOM:听Researching queer domesticities and intimacies in Norway 1842鈥1972
QUEERDOM investigates how women and men with same-sex desires 鈥 about whom we use the term 鈥榪ueer鈥 鈥 lived and organized their everyday lives across a complex domestic terrain in ways that unsettles customary understandings of private life and family organization in modern Norway (1842鈥1972). These 鈥榪ueer domesticities鈥 will be investigated through the intersecting lenses of time, space, class, and gender.

Gender Trouble: Glocalization of gender politics and challenges for public health and democracy听
Through desk research and cross-case analysis at digital and in-person workshops, the project aims to establish a close-knit research group with a joint project that can serve as the basis for ambitious, multi-sited, and interdisciplinary research that takes forward the WUN research agendas on public health and understanding cultures. Furthermore, the research should enable policymakers, practitioners and citizens to better address challenges arising from the politicization of gender, thus advancing SDGs 3, 4, 10. To facilitate this, we will organize a public seminar and write briefs/blog posts to communicate key findings.

Political determinants of sexual and reproductive health听
The project 鈥淧olitical Determinants of SRHR鈥 analyses effects of criminalizing sexual and reproductive behaviour and health services and the political dynamics that drive, hamper and shape such uses of criminal law. The empirical focus is on causes and effects of (de)criminalization of abortion and same sex relations on the African continent, where all but 4 of 54 countries criminalise abortion and 32 criminalise same-sex sexual relations, while most others restrict LGBT-rights. The main objective is to develop insights into political game changers that may improve conditions for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
