Britt Kramvig

Britt Kramvig is a Professor at the School of Business and Economics, part of the Faculty of Biosciences, Fisheries and Economics (BFE) at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. Her research intersects decolonization, Indigenous (Sámi) studies, and creative industries, with a focus on storytelling, archive decolonization, and Arctic land-seascapes. She coordinates PhD studies in Tourism and Northern Studies and teaches courses on qualitative methods, climate change impacts on tourism, and knowledge co-production.

Research Interests: Kramvig explores the decolonial potential of Indigenous archives, creative industries as decolonial praxis, and Arctic environmental humanities. Her work emphasizes ontology over epistemology, art-science collaborations (e.g., Dark Ecology, BAT), and indigenous survivance in tourism and cultural policy. She actively disrupts appropriation processes in Arctic landscapes through pluriversal storytelling.

Key Collaborations: Kramvig contributes to international projects like Surviving the Unthinkable and The New Sámi Renaissance, advocating for indigenous data sovereignty and decolonial research ethics. She leads interdisciplinary efforts to integrate Sámi epistemologies into environmental science and policymaking.

Recent Publications: Her 2023-2025 works address Arctic decolonization, indigenous archival practices, and co-creation in tourism, often published in journals like Environmental Research Letters and GeoHumanities. Notable topics include counter-mapping, indigenous survivance, and collaborative listening in Arctic soundscapes.

Academic Affiliations: Member of the Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research and the Indigenous Voices research group at UiT. She participates in the OKTA - Sami Art and Friction-Filled Communities on Festivals project.
