Academic interests

My main research interest is youth party practices. Currently I'm working with several major data sets consisting of interviews with young people who talk about drinking and partying. I also work with theoretical papers and ethnographic and survey data. My publications are listed at the bottom of this page and here.

Over the last few years I have reviewed manuscripts for Gender & Society, Addiction Research & Theory, Sociology of Health & Illness, Drugs: education, prevention, and policy, and Tidsskrift for ungdomsforskning.

Background

I began working as a PhD research fellow at the University of Oslo the fall of 2014. Before that I worked a few months as a research assistant in the same department. The fall of 2013 I taught social science to social work students at Diakonhjemmet University College. I worked as a research assistant, studying nursing homes, at Norwegian Social Research from the fall of 2011 to the spring of 2013.

I graduated with an MA in sociology from the University of Oslo the fall of 2011, with a thesis on the social aspects of alcohol hangovers. I have been an exchange student to UC Berkeley the spring of 2009 and the academic year 2010-2011, the last time on a Fulbright scholarship.

Introduction: International drug policy has traditionally been based on the premise that illegal drugs are more harmful than legal substances. Here, we investigate how students in the UK and Norway now perceive possible harms related to tobacco and alcohol—which are legal—and cannabis—which is illegal. Methods: Social science undergraduates at a university in the UK (n = 473) and Norway (n = 472) completed an anonymous survey. They were asked to rate the harms of tobacco, alcohol, and cannabis across five domains: (i) physical harms, (ii) mental health conditions, (iii) dependence, (iv) injuries, and (v) social consequences. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to compare the relative harms of the three substances across all the domains as well as possible differences between participants from the UK and Norway. Results: Tobacco was rated as most harmful with regard to physical harm and dependence; alcohol was rated as most harmful with regard to injuries and social consequences, while cannabis was rated as most harmful with regard to mental health. The total harms scores for alcohol were highest, slightly above those of cannabis. British students reported higher tobacco and alcohol harm scores than Norwegian students, while the opposite pattern was true for cannabis. Conclusions: The legal substance alcohol was rated by students as more harmful than the illegal substance cannabis. The findings may imply that young people in the years to come may be less supportive of a traditional drug policy based on criminalization, at least when it comes to cannabis. At the same time, one may hypothesize that liberal alcohol policies may receive little support, given students’ perception of the possible harms associated with alcohol.
