Marianne Takle

Marianne Takle is a Researcher at Oslo Metropolitan University's Center for Welfare and Working Life Research (NOVA), specializing in health and welfare research. Her institutional affiliation includes the Health and Welfare Research department and Media, Environment and Society (MMS) research group, where she contributes to understanding the intersection of social policy, cultural dynamics, and environmental challenges.

Takle's research spans migration policy, cultural politics, and intergenerational solidarity, with particular focus on EU migration frameworks, welfare state sustainability, and political dynamics of cultural policy. Her work examines how ecological changes impact social protection systems and explores mechanisms for incorporating future generations into welfare state considerations. Current projects include SOLIDEM (Strengthening Solidarity for Democratic Unity Across Borders) and FESTIPOL (Festivalpolitikk i endring), addressing solidarity erosion and cultural policy dynamics respectively.

Her publication record shows a clear progression from migration policy expertise to broader welfare state sustainability questions, with recent work emphasizing the 'Norwegian sustainability paradox' and intergenerational justice. The 2025 Routledge monograph Showing Social Solidarity with Future Generations represents a culmination of her research trajectory into temporal dimensions of welfare policy.

Takle actively engages in research dissemination through academic publications, policy reports, and public lectures addressing climate justice and intergenerational responsibility. Her project portfolio includes both completed initiatives like WEST (Bærekraftige samfunn i det 21. århundre) and active collaborations examining work inclusion through qualification programs.
