Martine S.B. Lie serves as a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, where her work bridges green criminology, animal law, and criminal justice systems within the Anthropocene context.
Her academic qualifications include:
- Master's degree in Criminology, University of Oslo
Lie's research critically examines crimes against animals through lenses of species justice and legal mobilization, with specialized focus on predator management controversies in Norway. She investigates how environmental NGOs utilize courts to challenge government hunting permissions under the Bern Convention, analyzing verdicts from both civil litigation and penal cases involving illegal predator hunts. Her methodology emphasizes qualitative approaches, including courtroom observation and stakeholder interviews, to unpack power dynamics in wildlife conservation.
Publications from 2017-2024 reveal consistent thematic evolution toward species justice frameworks, particularly examining theriocides (animal killings) in Norwegian legal discourse. Her work connects breed-specific dog legislation to societal control mechanisms while advancing conceptual tools like 'situational action theory' to explain poaching behaviors linked to legal hunts. Collaborative projects with Ragnhild Sollund establish foundational scholarship in green criminology's application to Anthropocene-era conservation conflicts.
Lie contributes to the CRIMEANTHROP project funded by The Research Council of Norway, alongside initiatives including 'Can law protect endangered large predators?' and 'European-Ukrainian Refugee Pets: Emerging Trends (EURPET)'. Her advisory roles encompass the Norwegian Forum for Animal Law and EURPET's board.
She actively participates in University of Oslo research ecosystems through the Research Group on International Law, Sociology of Law group, Natural Resources Law group, and Global Criminology thematic network, leveraging these platforms for interdisciplinary animal law scholarship.
