title: Social Media Use in Crisis and Risk Communication. Emergencies, Concerns and Awareness, 2017

description: RESCUES goal has been to develop knowledge-based models of crisis communication by exploring the use of social media in various cases. The research group at the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at OsloMet has collected data for RESCUE based on interviews with key communicators in Norway about the use of social media during and just after July 22, 2011, plus during the Ebola outbreak in 2014-15. We have identified strengths and weaknesses in usage patterns and assessment methods and produced data documenting views on how communicators can improve social media interaction in crisis situations.

title: From Fragmented to Integrated Landscape Management. Values of Green Cultural Heritage and Implications for Future Policies and Practises, 2017

description: This project addressed the issue of fragmented management of cultural landscape due to changing land use and ownership, diverse values and interests held by various sectors and protected by individual Acts and legal instruments. This fragmentation makes integrated landscape management a challenge and leads to tension in the local planning system. How do we manage interactions across and between designated objects/sites and everyday landscapes? The project aimed to answer such questions by developing new knowledge that could be incorporated into management policy and practice to facilitate integration of values and uses of cultural landscape within the local planning and development process. Main research was based on the case-study of Austrått, a manorial landscape in Ørland peninsular with particular natural, cultural heritage and military significances. The research had direct benefits to the policy and practice of Austrått and Ørland development by providing new knowledge and working strategy for an integrated management. Research findings will also be transferrable to other localities and regions with similar challenges.

title: Changing Perspectives - a Qualitative Study of Participatory and Inclusive Practices in Norwegian Museums and Archives, 2018

description: Since the mid-1990’s, policy objectives and funding measures have been designed to encourage Norwegian museums and archives to embrace a more socially engaged practice. These governance initiatives, however, have often not achieved the goal of long-term effect: once funding stops, so do the projects, leaving little or no mark on institutional practice. Based on the premise that financial incentives are clearly insufficient in bringing about practice change, this thesis looks beyond the effect of project funding on institutional core attitudes, probing underlying factors which affect organisational practice in more depth. This thesis is situated within the methodological framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s practice theory and draws on qualitative methods such as semi-structured interviews, document analysis and survey data. The theoretical perspectives underpinning the thesis can be broadly grouped under two headings: the museum as idea and as organisation. The first one refers to the ideological nature of museums, its philosophy, purpose, power and ethos as an institution, and the second one to the practical manifestation of these ideas: organizational structure, culture and dynamics in and around the institution. The findings suggest that museum professionals are engaged in a complex balancing act, continually negotiating positions, priorities and relations both within and around the institution. Elements such as power and values play a part, as do professional identities, academic capital and personal engagement. This thesis argues that organisational change is ultimately contingent on individuals and the way they perceive their profession: the stronger the alignment of ideas, values and purpose between the individual and the organisation, the stronger the potential impact of the museum. To develop and sustain a socially engaged practice, museum directors need to create organizational resonance around the idea of the museum as an agent for social change, enabling it to amplify its social impact.

title: Armed Conflict and Maternal Health in Sub-Saharan Africa, 2014

description: This project used subnational conflict data to investigate local effects of civil war on various maternal health indicators, such as e.g. the use of life-saving maternal health care services like antenatal care and professional assistance during birth. Determinants of maternal health in post-conflict societies were studied to identify the most effective intervention strategies, as well as the effectiveness of development aid. Statistical analysis of existing data, such as national surveys and geographical conflict data were combined. In addition fieldwork was conducted in Burundi, DR Congo, and Liberia, where interviews with women in fertile ages and medical personnel about barriers were collected. A survey on schooling and fertility was collected in Burundi by Philip Verwimp among a sub-sample of young women who had taken part in the countries nationwide test for entry into high school in 2010.

title: EPISTO – Why not Epistocracy? Political Legitimacy and the ‘Fact of Expertise’, 2014

description: The EPISTO project examines and assesses the legitimacy of expert rule in modern democracies with a particular focus on the European Union and the European Commission’s expert groups. The EU has recently taken unprecedented administrative and legal measures to address threats of terror, the euro crisis, and environmental challenges. Critics claim that the Union’s crises management contributes to pushing the EU further towards technocracy and expert-rule. Is Europe abandoning democracy as we know it? And if so, is this a problem? Some would say no. To deal with the risks and hazards globalisation throws upon us, they would argue, the best available expertise must be mobilised and given the necessary power, even if we by doing so are challenging familiar ideas of democracy. If more power to the experts can help save the planet, the economy, health, security and other basic goods, we should not hesitate embracing it or worry so much about democratic standards. Why stick to ideas of 'rule of the people' that may turn out to be irrelevant and even dangerous in a world that is in urgent need of decisions based on our best knowledge? Why not opt for what political philosopher David Estlund refers to as 'epistocracy' – a 'rule of the knowers'? EPISTO will elaborate on this and other arguments for expert-rule, test the soundness of their empirical assumptions, and develop a sophisticated and robust normative defense of democracy in Europe that specifies the legitimate role and scope of expert power.The Episto project will elaborate on different dimensions of knowledge-based rule and develop an epistocracy-typology. Secondly, it will discuss and identify the proper standards for assessing the normative legitimacy of expertise arrangement based on recent contributions and debates in political philosophy and democratic theory. It will also map and analyse the European Commission’s expert group system, its composition and powers. Lastly, it will study expertise behaviour, deliberation and rationality in the context of this system, and discuss and assess this system’s normative legitimacy in light of its empirical characteristics.

title: Climart - Visual Art as a Tool to Trigger Behavioural Change in the Public - Exploring the Psychological Mechanisms Behind, 2018

description: The Climart Project addressed an important research gap in the domain of communication of climate change, namely which effects do climate change related art projects have on their audience, what are the psychological mechanisms behind these effects and how can climate art be an alternative communication approach to activate the general public to engage in and support climate change mitigation measures. Numerous climate art projects have been implemented around the world but very little is known about if they are effective, to which kind of audience they reach out to and what kind of processes they trigger in their audience. The project built on results from a pre-project that suggested that visual climate art can trigger moments of reflection, has the potential to reach to groups of the society that usually are less open to climate change communications, but needed to be carefully designed to avoid triggering responsibility denial. In doing the analyses, the project drew on input from psychology, arts, communication and environmental science.

The data consists of three datasets from two studies conducted in the Climart Project. Study one was conducted in November/December 2015 at the ARTCOP event which was a climate art festival in parallel to the climate sumit in Paris. A paper-pencil survey was carried out among 37 of the audience of these artworks with a paper-pencil survey. The dataset from this study comes in two parts: 1) A dataset from the individual audience responses, and 2) A dataset with 1-2 "expert ratings" of characteristics of the artwork itself, conducted by the researchers. The second dataset is an audience survey conducted at the Trondheim and London shows with the artwork "pollution pods" created by the commissioned project artist Michael Pinsky. The data was conducted with the audience and a shorter with a comparable control group not exposed to the artwork.

title: NOKUT National Student Survey – Vocational School Study Programme 2018, All Variables

description: NOKUT National Student Survey – Vocational School Study Programme 2018, All Variables

NOKUT shall through various means contribute to society's trust in the quality of higher and vocational education. The student surveys are a part of NOKUTs strategic efforts to document the condition of the sector. 

The student survey for university and university college students has been conducted every year since 2013 and has been established as an important national survey. In 2017, NOKUT was assigned the commission by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research to conduct an equivalent student survey among vocational school students.

This is a part of the follow up of the vocational school report “Fagfolk for fremtiden” (Skilled workers for the future). The Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research writes the following in an allocation letter dated the 9th of June: “The student survey of the vocational school students will be a web portal which will show the current opinions the vocational school students have about the quality of the education of which they are studying. The survey will make it possible to compare educations across and within fields of study and institutions”. A pilot survey in 9 vocational schools was conducted the autumn of 2017. The first full scale survey was conducted the spring of 2018. The survey was dispatched to all vocational schools in Norway except from one.

By including the vocational school student survey, NOKUTs student surveys cover all tertiary educations, which means all educations that builds on upper secondary education. The survey covers the student's opinions about the quality of the educational provision at Norwegian vocational schools. The purpose of the survey is to provide information about the quality of education to educational institutions, students, student applicants, the authorities and other actors.

This file contains information about both educational offers, institutions etc. and personal background variables. This file therefore contains indirect personal information. Personal background variables only exist for students that have consented that these are connected to their answer data. 

The data material can in accordance with necessary permits be made available for analysis and research purposes.
