Jone Gro Salomonsen is a Professor at the Faculty of Theology, University of Oslo. Her research focuses on intersections between institutional religion (especially Christianity) and popular culture, with emphasis on feminist theological agency, ritual performance, and post-traditional social change initiatives rooted in indigenous practices. She has conducted fieldwork in the USA, Norway and South Africa, investigating feminist Witchcraft, Christian confirmation rituals, and township-based social activism.
Her teaching areas include ritual studies, constructive theology, feminist theory, and contextual theology. She is affiliated with research groups 'Lived Religion: Practice, gender and materiality' and 'Systematic theology'. Her academic publications span topics from memorial rituals after the 2011 Oslo attacks to eco-theological reinterpretation of Grundtvig's thought.
Salomonsen holds dual expertise in theology and social anthropology, enabling unique interdisciplinary approaches to religious agency and cultural transformation. Her current work examines women's use of ancestral symbols and rituals in South African townships to drive social change.
