Ingunaya Amundsen

Ingunaya Amundsen is a University lecturer at the Department of Accounting and Law within the School of Business at the University of Stavanger. Her contact details include phone 51833407, email ingunaya.m.larsen@uis.no, and office HL U-312.

Dr. Amundsen's research spans Early Childhood Education, Phenomenology, Aesthetics in Education, Feminist Philosophy, and Philosophy for Children. Her work critically examines presence in learning processes, emotional-aesthetic educational dynamics, and feminist perspectives on subjectivity. Key contributions include phenomenological analyses of kindergarten attendance and innovative storytelling frameworks for preschool philosophical inquiry.

Her publication trends (2006-2013) reveal a cohesive focus on existential and aesthetic dimensions of early education, blending empirical studies with artistic production like the exhibition The edge of reason. This interdisciplinary approach bridges educational theory, feminist philosophy, and creative practice despite her departmental placement in Accounting and Law.

She has collaborated with the Research group emotional and aesthetic learning processes, particularly in her 2012 study on presence. While no formal advising relationships or grants are documented, her co-authored works with Marianne Therese Stenerud highlight collaborative pedagogical development for preschool settings.
