معرفی
Katrine Antonsen is a Research Fellow and PhD candidate at the University of Oslo's Faculty of Law, specializing in criminology and penal policy. Her doctoral project examines Scandinavian contributions to prison reform through development aid and foreign policy, as part of the JustExports research initiative. She holds an MA in Criminology from the University of Oslo and a B.Sc. from the University of Roehampton.
Her research focuses on the global export of Scandinavian penal models, analyzing how these practices travel to countries with differing socio-political contexts. Methodologically, her work employs multi-sited ethnography, including participant observation in donor and beneficiary countries, interviews, and document analysis. She previously worked as a research assistant at the University of Cambridge's Comparative Penology project, a prison officer, and project manager at Wayback (livet etter soning).
Antonsen's recent publications explore topics such as penal policy exports in Norwegian development aid, qualitative research in JustExports, and the global peripheries' reception of Scandinavian 'prison aid.' Her work bridges criminology, globalization studies, and international development, emphasizing the interplay between penal systems and foreign policy.
Her current PhD project, funded by grant 314208, investigates the practical implementation of Scandinavian prison projects abroad and their integration into foreign policy strategies. This project seeks to uncover the motivations and mechanisms behind Scandinavia's role as an exporter of penal systems.
