Rannveig Frøseth Sinkaberg
About
I am a PhD candidate and a trained social worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I have professional experience across various fields, including as a professional coordinator for day services for deaf and deafblind individuals, advisor at the Counselling Service office for the Deaf and Deafblind, housing consultant at he municipal housing office in Trondheim, information officer at a state-run refugee reception center, and environmental worker at a former school for the deaf and a national competence center. I have also worked in the Dominican Republic at a special school and institution for children and youth with disabilities.
Since October 2018, I have been employed as a PhD candidate at the Department of Social Work at NTNU. My doctoral project focuses on deaf women in India and societal participation, examining various societal factors that influence the participation of deaf women. The dissertation is scheduled for submission in 2026.
My academic interests include disability and society, issues with deaf and hearing impaired persons, intersectionality, Global South and North perspectives, disabled refugees and migrants, diversity and society, The Un Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), inequality, and social work.
I am affiliated with the research groups Disability and Society (FUNKIS) and Knowledge and Practice Development in Social Work (KUPSA).
