Christoph Lutz is a Professor in the Department of Communication and Culture at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo. He serves as co-director of the Nordic Center for Internet and Society, positioning him at the forefront of digital society research in the Nordic region. His academic career spans interdisciplinary investigations into the social, ethical, and practical implications of digital technologies. Lutz holds a Dr. oec. degree from the University of St. Gallen, establishing his foundation in economic sciences with a focus on digital transformations. His educational background bridges traditional economic scholarship with contemporary digital society studies. Professor Lutz's research centers on digital technologies with specific expertise in social media, digital inequalities, privacy frameworks, platform economy dynamics, and the societal implications of emerging technologies including artificial intelligence and social robots. His work examines how these technologies reshape human interactions, social structures, and power dynamics, with particular attention to issues of fairness, agency, and ethical design. He investigates how users navigate privacy concerns in increasingly automated environments and how digital inequalities manifest across different demographic groups. His extensive publication record reveals a clear research trajectory examining the intersection of technology, society, and individual agency. Lutz's work consistently addresses both theoretical frameworks and empirical investigations, with a growing emphasis on comparative approaches to privacy research, digital nomadism, and the social implications of AI systems. His recent publications demonstrate increasing focus on hybrid intelligence models that combine human and artificial capabilities while maintaining human oversight. Lutz actively contributes to academic discourse through editorial roles, including special issues on privacy cynicism and comparative privacy research. His collaborative work spans multiple continents and disciplinary perspectives, reflecting the inherently interdisciplinary nature of digital society research. At BI Norwegian Business School, Lutz teaches courses on social media, digital business, social network analysis, theoretical frameworks, and human-technology interaction. His pedagogical approach connects theoretical concepts with practical applications in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. As co-director of the Nordic Center for Internet and Society, he helps shape research agendas addressing critical questions about technology's role in society. His work engages with various research communities through platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter, ResearchGate, and Mastodon, demonstrating commitment to knowledge sharing beyond traditional academic channels. Lutz's research has practical implications for policymakers, technology designers, and civil society organizations working to create more equitable and human-centered digital environments.

Kristin Kibsgaard Sjøhelle is an Associate Professor in Norwegian Didactics at the Institute of Language and Literature, University College Volda, where she has been employed since 2012. Her teaching primarily focuses on the Master of Primary and Lower Secondary Teacher Education program, Nynorsk in Education, and Norwegian Didactics in Practical Pedagogical Education. She served as international coordinator at the Department of Humanities and Teacher Education from 2020 to 2022 and was a visiting scholar at Berkeley School of Education, University of California from 2017 to 2018. She earned her PhD in Norwegian Didactics from the University of Oslo in 2016 with the dissertation "Å skrive seg seg inn i språket. Ein intervensjonsstudie av nynorsk sidemålsopplæring for vidaregåande trinn" and completed her Master's degree in Nordic Language and Didactics at NTNU in 1999 with the thesis "Muntlige møter i nytt miljø. En undersøkelse av oppbygging av muntlig klasseromskultur i norskfaget i to videregående skoler". Dr. Sjøhelle's research centers on oral communication in Norwegian language education, writing instruction at secondary levels, Nynorsk as a second language variety in education, and digital competence in Norwegian with multimodal texts. She has pioneered the "språkdusj" (language shower) approach to Nynorsk education, moving beyond traditional grammar-focused instruction toward immersive language use. Her work explores how students develop writing strategies, oral skills, and digital literacy within the Norwegian language classroom, with particular attention to practical application in real teaching contexts. Her recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on oral communication assessment, with multiple studies examining how to effectively teach and evaluate oral skills in Norwegian classrooms. She has developed comprehensive models for teaching and assessing oral proficiency, with particular attention to active listening as an assessment criterion. Her research on Nynorsk education explores innovative approaches that integrate digital tools and collaborative learning methods. Visiting Scholar at Berkeley School of Education, University of California (2017-2018) As an academic advisor, she supervises master's students and serves as co-supervisor for PhD candidate Ida Marie Jegteberg. She leads the PPU research group and participates in the ORACY research group at University College Volda. Her major research projects include "ORACY UP: Munnlege vurderingspraksisar i norsk på ungdomstrinnet" and "Nynorskopplæring Akademisk antologi". Dr. Sjøhelle's work bridges theoretical research with practical classroom applications, providing concrete tools for Norwegian language educators.

Anne Grete Tøge serves as a Research Professor at the Work Research Institute, part of the Centre for Welfare and Labour Research at Oslo Metropolitan University. Her work focuses on evaluating interventions within the welfare state, particularly examining health effects of economic recessions, unemployment experiences in Europe, and conducting cluster-randomized trials to improve services for vulnerable populations. PhD in Social Work and Social Policy Dr. Tøge's research spans welfare systems, quantitative methodology, and causal analysis with particular emphasis on social politics and experimental design. She specializes in using RCT methodologies to evaluate complex interventions in healthcare institutions, with significant work on health and welfare politics, unemployment effects, and health inequalities. Her recent work demonstrates a strong focus on translating research into practical welfare interventions. Her publication record shows a consistent trajectory toward increasingly complex evaluations of welfare interventions, with a notable shift toward cluster-randomized trial designs in recent years. The research spans three primary domains: child welfare interventions (particularly family support and maltreatment prevention), educational interventions (focusing on school dropout prevention), and labor market integration programs (especially for young adults and vulnerable populations). Dr. Tøge has been involved in significant research projects including the Impact Evaluation of Interdisciplinary Health Assessment commissioned by the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs, and the Family Partner project which develops interventions for child maltreatment prevention. She collaborates extensively with researchers including Malmberg-Heimonen, Ira; Bråthen, Magne; Frøyland, Kjetil; and Spjelkavik, Øystein on various cluster-randomized trials evaluating welfare interventions across Norwegian institutions.
