Cecilie Larsen

Cecilie Larsen is a PhD student and Research Fellow at the University of Stavanger within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Department of Media and Social Studies. Her research centers on media representations of energy infrastructure development in Norway, specifically examining green colonialism dynamics through Norwegian and Sami editorial media coverage from 2000-2023.

Her core research interests include Green Colonialism, Indigenous Rights (particularly Sami struggles), Environmental Justice, Media Studies, Energy Politics, and Nordic Colonialism. She investigates how media narratives frame conflicts surrounding wind farm development and indigenous land rights, challenging dominant discourses of Nordic environmental innocence.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent thematic focus on state-indigenous power imbalances in green energy transitions, with particular attention to spatial justice dimensions and paradoxical political alliances in Sami resistance movements against Norwegian state projects.
