Stella Tsotsi serves as Associate Professor and Head of Studies for Area of Responsibility 8 in the Department of Nursing and Health Promotion at Oslo Metropolitan University's Faculty of Health Sciences. A clinical neuropsychologist, her research investigates developmental pathways to child and adolescent psychopathology through the interplay of child self-regulation capacities, parental mental health factors, and biological markers including genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Her primary research focuses on the co-occurrence of aggression and internalizing difficulties in youth, examining how early life stress, parenting practices, and transgenerational mental health transmission shape socio-emotional development. She specializes in designing early interventions for cognitively disadvantaged children and employs advanced methodologies from large multidisciplinary cohort studies to investigate executive functions, emotion regulation, and temperament as vulnerability factors. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals consistent emphasis on longitudinal developmental trajectories, with predominant themes including epigenetic mechanisms in stress response, cross-cultural parenting dynamics, and the interplay between biological predispositions and environmental factors. Her work frequently utilizes multi-cohort designs across international collaborations to examine prenatal programming of mental health outcomes. No scientific awards are documented in the available institutional records. Dr. Tsotsi mentors students within her research domain as part of her academic responsibilities, though specific advisee names are not published in institutional materials. Her involvement in large-scale cohort studies across multiple countries indicates participation in significant grant-funded research initiatives, though specific grants aren't detailed in the provided information. She maintains an extensive international research network spanning Montreal, Ottawa, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Saarbrücken, Manchester, and Singapore, collaborating on projects that investigate how parental mental health and parenting behaviors influence children's emotional competence and psychopathology susceptibility through developmental and epigenetic frameworks.

Dr. Kiki Tianqi Yu is a Senior Lecturer in Film at Queen Mary University of London's School of Languages, Linguistics and Film, where she contributes significantly to both teaching and research. She serves as a core faculty member in Film Studies, convening modules including FLM4205 Decolonising Approaches to Film Analysis and FLM7216 Creative Documentary. Her academic journey began with an MPhil in social political science at Cambridge University, followed by doctoral research on documentary film and personal cinema with a focus on China at CREAM, University of Westminster. Her educational background has shaped her interdisciplinary approach that bridges film studies with cultural sociology and philosophy. Dr. Yu's research explores three interconnected strands: cinema through eastern philosophies (particularly Daoism), documentary film and nonfiction practices from non-western perspectives, and women's cinema across Asia. Her work challenges Western-centric film theory by constructing comparative dialogues with film phenomenology and posthumanist thinking through Daoist philosophy. She examines how philosophies in non-western cultures enhance our understanding of global cinema, with particular attention to ethical considerations in documentary filmmaking. Her scholarly output reveals consistent focus on decolonizing film studies, with recent publications examining Daoism's conceptual capacity to expand how we experience moving images and intervene in Western-centered post-humanist theorization of cinema. Her work demonstrates increasing engagement with environmental humanities, East Asian art history, and feminist studies. 8 awards for documentary 'China's van Goghs' (2016) Best Audience's award at Royal Anthropology Institution Film Festival 2021 for 'Two Lives of Li Ermao' Keynote speaker at European Network for Cinema and Media Studies (NECS) annual conference 2018 Founding co-convener of BAFTSS East Asian Screen Cultures Special Interest Group Dr. Yu actively supervises PhD students on diverse topics including embodied trauma in women's filmmaking, psychogeography in Chinese cinematic cities, and representations of space in Asian slow cinema.

Ingrid Dobloug RoedeView profile

Research Fellow

• Architectural History
• Cold War Architecture
• Norwegian-Soviet Relations
• +4 more

Ingrid Dobloug Roede is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Architecture, Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), where she investigates architectural history through the lens of Cold War diplomacy and post-war reconstruction. Her work centers on Norwegian-Soviet architectural exchanges, examining how exhibitions, model collections, and professional associations functioned as tools of ideological negotiation and cultural transmission during the mid-20th century. Roede's research spans Architectural History , Cold War Architecture , and Architectural Diplomacy , with specific focus on Harald Hals' role in Soviet-Norwegian relations, the Oslo Municipal Model and Image Collection, and post-war purges within professional associations. She employs interdisciplinary methodologies—combining archival analysis, spatial theory, and visual culture studies—to reveal how architecture operated as both artifact and agent in geopolitical conflicts, particularly through exhibition practices and model-based diplomacy . Her work demonstrates architecture's capacity to transcend physical form and become a medium for ideological expression. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent engagement with Cold War spatial politics, where architectural exhibitions served as propaganda offensives and model collections functioned as diplomatic conduits . Key thematic clusters include: (1) the weaponization of architectural representation in Norwegian-Soviet relations; (2) post-war professional ethics and institutional memory; and (3) the mobility of architectural knowledge across ideological boundaries. This trajectory positions her at the intersection of architectural historiography and political geography, emphasizing architecture's active role in shaping Cold War narratives. As a Research Fellow, Roede contributes to AHO's academic mission through publications and seminar leadership, though no formal advising relationships or grant projects are documented. Her collaborative work with scholars like Alena Beth Rieger on care architecture ( Søstra100: Omsorgsbua ) indicates expanding interests in socially engaged design practices, suggesting future research directions in welfare-state architecture.
