پژوهشگر ارشد
Sofie Elise Quist serves as a Research Fellow at the Norwegian Centre for the Law of the Sea (NCLOS) within the Aurora Centre of UiT The Arctic University of Norway's Faculty of Law. Her doctoral project Encountering Blue Transformation: a legal ethnography of salmon farming and resistance in Norway and Chile critically examines the intersection of international legal frameworks and coastal community impacts through critical legal ethnography. Her research spans international law, political ecology, and environmental humanities with specialized focus on ocean/coastal governance, human rights, indigenous studies, and sustainable food systems. Quist investigates how salmon farming expansion—driven by UN FAO's blue transformation agenda—reconfigures local power dynamics, producing environmental injustices while documenting Indigenous and small-scale fishers' resistance strategies. Her work emphasizes participatory scholarship, analyzing normative conflicts between global aquaculture intensification and coastal community rights. Recent publications reveal three thematic clusters: (1) ocean literacy frameworks integrating indigenous knowledge with policy development; (2) human rights approaches to blue food systems emphasizing multispecies justice; and (3) critical analyses of climate litigation connecting environmental harm to human rights violations. Her scholarship consistently bridges theoretical critique with actionable governance solutions. Quist actively contributes to the Sami and Indigenous Peoples Law research group and the Ocean Incubator Network project, developing legal pathways for sustainable aquaculture through interdisciplinary workshops and living laboratory methodologies. Her work engages policymakers via the Norwegian Centre for the Law of the Sea's policy-oriented research initiatives focused on Arctic and global ocean governance challenges.
