Kirsti Stuvøy
Kirsti holds a Magister Artium (M.A.) degree from the University of Hamburg, Germany. She came to the University of Tromsø in 2004 to pursue a doctoral research project with the Human Security Project in the Department of political science. Kirsti’s project examines human security by means of a Bourdieusian approach by focusing on non-state crisis centres for women in Russia and how they produce security for victims of violence against women. As a part of her doctoral dissertation work, Kirsti traveled extensively in Northwest Russia and to Moscow and conducted interviews in Russian with representatives of non-state crisis centres. The project elaborates on methodological aspects pertaining to a bottom-up security approach, and will in this way contribute to the IPY GAPS discussion of a multiple securities perspective in the north. In the IPY GAPS project Kirsti is engaged as a post doc, further engaging human security risks and opportunities as perceived from “the bottom up”.
Kirsti’s publications include: “Gender, Resistance and Human Security”, with Gunhild Hoogensen, in Security Dialogue (2006), Vol. 37(2), pp. 207-228, and “Violence and Social Order Beyond the State: Somalia & Angola”, with Jutta Bakonyi, in Review of African Political Economy (2005), Nos. 104/5, pp. 359-382.
