About
Ingvill Stuvøy is an associate professor in sociology. Her main research interests include reproduction, gender and inequality, technology, economy and biopolitics. Stuvøy holds a PhD in sociology from NTNU and a BA and MA from University of Copenhagen. Stuvøy's PhD thesis Parenthood at a price. Accounting for the viability of transnational surrogacy (2018) examined the social meaning of money in transnational surrogacy, taking as her starting point the travels undertaken by Norwegian citizens in order to have a child born to them abroad by a surrogate mother. As part of her postdoc, Stuvøy worked on different forms of mobility and migration, including the "repro-migration" she studied in her PhD thesis.
Main research areas are surrogacy; reproduction; assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs); body; gender; stratification and inequality; repro-migration; money; (bio)economy; welfare state; qualitative methods; feminist theory; economic sociology; sociology of the family.
