Priscilla Ringrose

About

Background

I am Professor of Gender Studies and French Literature at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture and the Department of Language and Literature. I hold an MA (Glasgow University, 1985) in French and Arabic, and worked as a translator and researcher at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK before completing my PhD (Edinburgh University, 2000) in feminist Francophone literature.

Research Interests

My areas of research include migration and gender, migration and education, domestic labour, new media and Middle East war, Islamic fundamentalisms, intercultural cinema and 20th century francophone literature.

I am leading the forthcoming Norwegian Research Council project (2023-2026) Family Reunification and Unaccompanied Refugee Minors. Psychosocial Health, Integration and Support Services (FAMREUN) which will research the psychosocial health and integration of unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) who have been reunited with their families in Norway, and on the support services who work with them. The aim of the project is to gain knowledge of these young people’s experiences of family reunification, and of the health and integration services’ experiences of working with URM who have been family-reunited, as well as to optimise the quality, competence, effectiveness, and cooperation between these services.

I am also a WP leader in the Norway Norway-Japan: Bridging Research and Education in Gender Equality and Diversity (NJ_BREGED) project, a three-year research and teaching collaboration (2019 - 2022) between the Center for Gender Research (CGR) at Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture at NTNU (Norway) and the Institute for Gender Studies (IGS) at Ochanomizu University (Tokyo, Japan) in the fields of gender equality and diversity.

From 2017 to 2020, I was leader of the Norwegian Research Council FINNUT (Research and Innovation in the Educational Sector) project, Language, Integration, Media, https://www.ntnu.no/isl/lim, which researched and developed innovative and engaging learning opportunities for Norwegian and migrant secondary school age students, with the aim of improving academic and integration outcomes.

Between 2011 to 2016, I led a Norwegian Research Council VAM (Welfare, Working Life and Migration) funded project. Buying and Selling (gender) Equality: Feminized Migration and Gender Equality in Contemporary Norway. The project addressed paid domestic labour and au paring in Norway, looking at the concurrence between increasing gender equality ambitions and dependence on feminized migration. The project’s co-edited anthology Paid Migrant Domestic Labour in a Changing Europe: Questions of Gender Equality and Citizenship (Palgrave 2016) analyses the changing face of work, gender equality and citizenship in Europe. Focusing on the discourses, social relations and political processes that surround migrant domestic labour in Europe, it rethinks the vital relationship between this kind of employment, the formal and informal citizenship of migrant workers, and the cultural and political value of gender equality.

I am also interested in paid domestic labour and au pairing in other national contexts, and have recently published on medializations of ‘granny’ au pairing services in France. I have also researchied medializations of migrant domestic work in documentaries on migrant domestic labour in Lebanon.

I have co-edited two anthologies on religious fundamentalisms: Fundamentalism, Globalism and the Public Sphere and Fundamentalism and Communication: Culture, Media and the Public Sphere (both IB Tauris 2011) and have published a monograph on Assia Djebar’s feminist writing practice Assia Djebar: In dialogue with feminisms (Rodopi 2006).
