About
Dr. Ida Norberg is a Lecturer in Sociological & Cultural Studies at the University of Glasgow, specializing in the critical intersection of neoliberalism and disablism. Her research examines social Darwinist elements within economic theory, bureaucratic violence mechanisms, and austerity policy impacts on marginalized populations—particularly disabled communities in Sweden—with institutional affiliation to the university's Sociology research group.
Her core research fields encompass neoliberalism, disability studies, and bureaucratic violence, employing Marxist, Bourdieusian, and social model of disability frameworks. She prioritizes accessible pedagogy and reflexive qualitative methodologies focused on historically excluded groups, with specific interests in moral vocabularies of economic theory, class analysis, and violence embedded in bureaucratic systems.
Analysis of her 14 publications (2018-2025) reveals consistent thematic focus on austerity-driven structural violence against disabled populations, Swedish welfare policy consequences, and conceptual critiques of neoliberal governance. Her work bridges political economy, critical disability studies, and Scandinavian social policy analysis, increasingly incorporating intersectional methodologies and human rights frameworks.
No scientific awards, research grants, student supervision records, or laboratory affiliations are documented in available materials. Her professional activities include conference presentations on intersectional research methods and early-career academic development within disability studies contexts.
