Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour

Accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, rapid digitalisation has fundamentally transformed European working conditions. While its positive consequences are well recognised, digital transformation also puts a sorely needed part of the European workforce at risk of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. IDILAB (Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour) investigates the impacts that technological progress and subsequent structural changes have on the labour market integration of migrant workers. By developing a new methodological approach, IDILAB shall provide novel evidence on migrants’ exposure to the process of digitalisation, and formulate evidence-based and innovative policy options for the EU and national governments to improve on the scope and adequacy of national and European policy directed at encouraging a fair digital transition for all, including migrants. The proposed project will contribute with new knowledge on migrants’ own perspectives on barriers and enablers for a sustainable integration in a fast-changing labour market. I, the experienced researcher (Dr Olga Gheorghiev, the Czech Republic), will work with a European centre of excellence (the Research Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC, OsloMet, Norway), and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI, Belgium) for intersectoral knowledge transfer, career development, and European added value.

Locating Intergenerational Ties, rematriating late-19th-century unpublished photographs of Sámi Women and Children

Employing a decolonial approach inspired by critical museology and Indigenous studies, LIT aims to initiate a visual restitution/rematriation process fostering attention to Sámi people’s experiences during colonial encounters, and to illuminate individual life-stories of women and children photographed by Italian anthropologists Mantegazza and Sommier between 1879 and 1886. It wishes to generate dialogical knowledge of unpublished visual/written materials, enabling Sámi communities of interest to gain access to these scholars’ photographs. In complex socio-historical Indigenous/settler contexts such as Sápmi (the Sámi homeland), Sámi people’s control over their own heritage has proved essential to processes of cultural and ethnopolitical self-determination. Part of the Sámi visual heritage consists of photographs taken - often through mild violence and coercion - by academics engaged in physical anthropological practices involving Sámi individuals of all ages and genders. The resulting academic and divulgative publications circulated in Europe for decades, shaping and reinforcing stereotypes of Sámi peoples and cultures. Photos taken in colonial encounters by late-19th/early-20th century scholars to visualize Sámi people’s supposed biological-cultural inferiority (until a few decades ago inaccessible to the Sámi) have become important means of decolonization and empowerment through art and activism. The visual restitution of such photographs is of the utmost importance not only from a cultural heritage perspective but is also considered by Sámi institutions and individuals as an urgent necessity. LIT proposes an innovative approach based on the co-construction of knowledge and with a gender dimension. I shall reconstruct life stories of women and children photographed by Italian ethnologists, locating their descendants and returning their photographs to their communities. LIT would benefit my career, making me a leading researcher in Sami Studies and museology.

CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
 
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.

All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

POWERING ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION

PACESETTERS responds to the abstract challenge of the climate transitions by shifting from a model of entrepreneurship based on individual, short-term incentives to one that is driven by co-agency and new capacities to act together in sustainable ways. It does so by examining the concrete circumstances, investigating possible support mechanisms and stress-testing instruments that enable art and culture, creativity and heritage to drive the climate transition.
Therefore, PACESETTERS will set out to:
-Create knowledge from collaborative research to keep pace with the transition
-Propose and test creative business models to set the pace of the transition
-Assess strategies of valorisation to push the pace of the transition
 
This approach will identify and analyse advanced practices that run transversally across the cultural and creative sectors; contextualise the outcomes of co-research in real-world laboratories for social imagination; further develop and promote the preliminary results of experiments in iterative support and evaluation frames. The PACESETTERS approach centres on inclusion, participation and iteration in order ensure that gender equity and diversity inform it at every step and on every level.

The result will be a critical evaluation and all-encompassing demonstration of the actual potentials of the CCIs to drive the climate transition while systematically analysing their impact on micro-, meso- and macro-level:
-Understanding the climate transition as a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive

Smart and Sustainable Host UniverCities: leveraging city-university interactions to further the twin green and digital transition

SUNSET aims to develop innovative research and training capacity around city-university interactions driving the EU’s green and digital transition. This twin transition is a defining element of the current EU policy agenda towards achieving climate neutrality and sustainable growth. The European Commission considers cities to be frontrunners in this transition agenda, but their transformational capacity and resilience crucially depends on the presence of agile and high-performing urban innovation ecosystems. SUNSET brings together (1) prominent researchers working in diverse geographical and disciplinary settings at leading universities (N=6) with (2) partners (N=16) from city governments (often participating in the Cities Mission to achieve climate neutrality by 2030), innovation companies, research institutes and civil society organizations to analyze and foster the performance of these urban innovation ecosystems: drawing on a purposeful range of interdisciplinary, international, and intersectoral exchanges, the Doctoral Network will investigate whether and how universities can successfully become key drivers of the twin transition in cities via their role as innovation partners, the implementation of campus living labs, and as architects of decision-making in governance ecosystems. Through a tailored combination of network-wide training events and academic and non-academic secondments, the SUNSET Doctoral Network will train a new generation of researchers to become future urban innovation ecosystem leaders in the pursuit of the twin green and digital transition. The findings will lead to practical guidelines regarding the design and implementation of living labs for university and city management, tailored strategies to foster more inclusive and diverse urban ecosystems, and diverse forms of scientific outreach and dissemination.

Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. 

For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:

i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets; 

ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;

iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;

iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;

v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;

vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;

vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs.


EXPRESS 2 SPECIFY AND PROTECT THE EU SOCIAL CONTRACT (EXPRESS2)

EXPRESS2 is a project that addresses from a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and cross-sectional perspective, the growing demand for a new, more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable social contract in the EU. To achieve this, the project will work to create a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft that will be submitted to inhabitants, Member States and EU institutions that will have the possibility to participate and decide upon the conditions, rights, and obligations to be binding. The goal is to strengthen the EU agreement of association by promoting social dialogue, civic engagement, and integration. An express draft shall be achieved by means of policy dialogue, campaign implementation, collaborative workshops, advocacy planning, and innovative offline and online formats and tools to create spaces for dialogue. To this end, EXPRESS2 will involve EU policymakers and institutions throughout the project to obtain a more appealing and legitimate EU social contract draft. 
The project will also focus on identifying and analyzing disruptive elements of the social contract, such as insecurity, populism, climate change, mistrust in institutions, gender discrimination, digitalisation and pandemics. The analysis of these stressors includes both individualised and cross-sectional approaches to cover the plausible relation of multiple disruptors, their concatenation or the “trigger” effect of a disruptive phenomenon to another. By understanding these disruptive elements and their effects on the social contract, the project will propose concrete measures to ironclad the social contract and it will provide relevant information to protect it from actual and potential disruptions thus we conceive social contracts as incomplete theorised agreements and living documents. In addition to academic, policy, and socio-economic outcomes, EXPRESS2 will propose recommendations to strengthen the social contract's resilience and capacity for further development.


Mapping of Longitudinal data of Inequalities in Education

The MapIE project aims to identify mechanisms causing educational inequalities and policies or interventions compensating for them. We do a systematic review of how these have been studied internationally using longitudinal designs. We map existing longitudinal data that we describe in a public metadata database, and we analyse them to describe the mechanisms of inequalities and to identify effective policies and interventions in different local contexts. We focus on the contextual differences between the Nordic and Central European countries that have structurally different education systems. Within national contexts and using comparative research designs, we look at system-, regional- and school-level policies and practices and individual-level factors (e.g. socioeconomic status, immigrant background, gender, special educational needs) that are associated with the development of educational inequalities and the successful prevention of achievement gaps. We publish and disseminate the empirical results of the project through multiple channels to scientific audiences, policy makers and the wider public. At the end, we create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level. 

We implement the project in seven work packages. Our consortium consists of internationally acknowledged experts in large-scale educational assessment research from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Hungary and Luxembourg/Germany. The partners have a long-standing history of collaboration with each other, European researchers, and national and international education policy makers, and they bring extensive longitudinal datasets to the project. The project will considerably strengthen the knowledge base of what shapes educational outcomes over time, how to best support the learning of all students and how to reduce education inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

Contextualized pathways to reduce housing inequalities in the green and digital transition.

The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impacts of recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the green transition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities under recent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees of urbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIn inquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutions towards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts a comparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design. A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanization will provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimes and environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housing initiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulate recommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.

Strengthening resilience and mental wellbeing through the Support4Resilience toolbox for leaders in elderly care

European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.

Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care. S4R will identify resilience and mental wellbeing factors among healthcare workers and informal caregivers; explore their perspectives and needs; develop new theory on the relationship between individual and organizational resilience, and mental wellbeing; and develop recommendations and cost-effective interventions. The Toolbox with tailormade resources for policy and practical use will be available through an open access S4R Resource Bank.

The S4R Toolbox includes three main tools: 1) Mapping and identification, 2) Reflection and education, and 3) Reorganization. Measures are initiated at the organizational level and effects on mental wellbeing and resilience transpire at the frontline of elderly care. The Toolbox covers different situational contexts, types of healthcare providers and health system levels. Elderly care settings in six European countries will implement and evaluate the Toolbox through a process evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, and cost-effectiveness evaluation. 

S4R provides policymakers, decisions-makers and leaders with solutions for taking action to solve specific risks for healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing. Thus, pertinent to the work programme, S4R will support the development of resilient health systems in European elderly care through improved leadership capabilities, governance structures, and adaptive capacities.

Poverty and informal interaction in rural economies

Racism and racial relations are a core issue in Sudan's long history of conflict. Sudan has the sad record of being the country with the longest civil war in Africa (1955-1972 and 1983-2005), and racism is seen as one of the major causes of conflict betwe en Northern and Southern Sudan. Also within Northern Sudan, racial relations feed a constant low-intensity social strife. Thus racism is seen as opposing the 'Arabs' of the North from the 'Africans' of the South. This is one of the reasons given for the p lanned separation of the country, and in 2011 the Sudanese will be called to decide whether the North and the South will be divided or not.
The proposed post-doctoral project shall investigate the construction of racial relations in the colonial Northern  Sudan. This has special significance for broadening our understanding of what triggered the many conflicts of the country. 

In this project I will analyze the emergence of racist ideology and relations during the colonial time by researching into three d omains: the colonial state's racist attitudes and practices, the process of construction of 'Arabness', and the parallel construction of 'Blackness'. 

From the theoretical point of view, the project will make use of a branch of social theory called theor y of racial formations. Accordingly, I consider racism as a political construct, a set of relations, and as a historically determined and dynamic process. Racism informs behaviours and beliefs of individuals, but individuals still retain the power of infl uencing it in several ways. I aim to show that racist relations in colonial Sudan were ridden in ambiguities, changed over time, and never went unchallenged. 
Methodologically, the project will rely on British archival sources, on Arabic literary sources,  and on interviews collected during fieldwork. It will be facilitated by my previous research and by a well-established network of informants, but will embrace new avenues both theoretically and empirically.

"Meetings Make History. Hunters' Rock Art and Lands of Identity in Mesolithic Northern Europe" er et forskningsprosjekt som søker en helhetlig forståelse av eldre steinalders bergkunst på den skandinaviske halvøy. 

Mesolittisk bergkunst inneholder grovt sett to måter å avbilde dyr på; enten som åpne, naturalistiske figurer eller som dyr i stilisert versjon og avbildet med såkalt kroppsfyll. Det siste kan være tvetydige uttrykk for ribbein og bløte organer, men oftest finnes kroppsfyll i form av mer eller mindre regulære mønstre. Eksempler kan være ulike strek- rute eller collage-mønstre. Hovedtesen har vært at førstnevnte er uttrykk for animisme, mens sistnevnte er uttrykk for totemisme, og de markerer et ytre versus et indre fokus i forståelsen av dyret. Mønstrene som går igjen på de ulike feltene synes i stor grad å være lokale, eller spesifikke for sin region. Jeg argumenterer for at disse langt på vei kan anses som klanmarkeringer, som altså har utgjort symbolske markører for semi-sedentære jeger-sankeres 'identitetslandskap'. For de feltene som ligger innenfor nåværende Norges grenser har jeg utarbeidet det jeg kaller et fragment til en totemisk geografi for senmesolitikum.

I noen tilfeller finnes figurelementer på et bergkunstfelt, som har "opphav" i, dvs. er typisk for andre og fjerne regioner. Dette tolkes som tidvis kontakt mellom grupper fra ulike identitetslandskap. 
Et utgangspunkt for prosjektet er at bergkunststedene er viktige møteplasser for ulike grupper (klaner). Stedene har vært brukt til ritualer, gavebytte og fester. Praksiser knyttet til bergkunststedene var igjen avgjørende for samfunnsutviklingen ved slutten av mesolitikum i Nord-Europa.

The aim of 'Meetings Make History' is to study the social processes as engendered history in the Mesolithic hunter-gatherer societies of northern Europe. The primary source material is hunters' rock art predating 4 500 BP, studied through the methodical d evices of 'animism' and 'totemism'.

Rock art studies usually produce results that reside in a ritual sphere 'outside' society and social processes. 'World views' and rituals are thus detached from society. By operating with the concepts of animism and to temism, the objective is to unite the area of world views with social processes. 

Given that the division of labor always will be at the core of historical change, a central element in the planned study will be to investigate social processes through the  dynamics of gender. Part of this is to study social processes and historical change with a focus on concrete meetings and gift echange between groups (e.g. 'clans') of different regions - and see both women and men as agents in this. Some 'strata' of suc h networking is materially available to us through the archaeological record, escpecially in figural elements in rock art pointing to 'lines of contact'.

By operating the concepts of animism and totemism, the suggested project involves a new approach to  the understanding of rock art and social processes. So far, this approach has turned out to be promising in that it reveals a level of meaning which is compatible with studies of settlement patterns and stray finds of Mesolithic age. During the last few y ears large Stone Age research projects have yielded an immense body of results on Mesolithic settlement. The reports and books on local settlement structures will be taken onboard in the present study, as important comparative material for the results on  'totem clan group areas' and animic groups. In the proposed project, this new information will be compiled and used in a wider, and geographically much larger context.

Meetings Make History. Hunters' Rock Art and Lands of Identity in Mesolithic Northern Europe.

Norway went through three harrowing struggles regarding its relationship with the European Communities in the 1960s. At the centre of Norway's contacts and negotiations with the EC stood a limited group of civil servants working with Norway's European pol icy, experts on European integration. The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the following statement: The expert's special competence and position, their connections abroad and at home and pivotal role in the negotiations between the EC and Norway  provided them with a unique understanding of what was the best European policy for Norway. The thesis will be an empirical case-study using a classical diplomatic history approach theoretically informed by theories on networks, institutionalism and socia lization from the social sciences. The questions raised in this thesis are relevant beyond the Norwegian case as they address the question of how to define and prove administrative power. Several historians have pointed to the relevance of this topic, but  no one has as of yet done a systematically study. There have also been many political science studies of this topic, but they lack the historical aspect.

I DASAGO-prosjektet forsker vi på hvordan nordsamiske barn tilegner seg nordsamisk som morsmål. Prosjektet består av tre deler: I. Utvikling av forskningsmateriale om samisk barnespråk, II. Undersøkelser av strukturelle aspekter av nordsamisk barnespråk, og III. Kunnskapsutveksling med instanser som jobber med samisktalende barn.

I. Utvikling av forskningsmateriale
DASAGO har utviklet et korpus av nordsamisk barnespråk som består av opptak av spontantale fra 4 barn i alderen 0;10 til 5;2. Et av barna er norsk/samisk tospråklig. Det meste av dataene fra to av disse barna har blitt transkribert, og vi holder på med å transkribere det resterende materialet nå. Korpusdataene vil være svært verdifulle for forskning på (tidlig) fonologi, morfologi, vokabular og syntaks.

Prosjektet har også tilpasset MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI) til nordsamisk. MCDI består av to foreldrerapport-skjemaer som måler barns utvikling av vokabular, gester, setninger og tidlig grammatikk. I 2015 ble vi ferdige med tilpasningen av de to foreldrerapport-skjemaene, og siden da har prosjektet samlet inn foreldrerapporter fra ni utvalgte alderstrinn - hver tredje måned fra 12 til 36 måneder. Vi har som mål å samle inn 40 skjema for hvert av disse ni målpunktene, og vi fortsetter arbeidet frem mot dette målet.

II. Undersøkelser av strukturelle konstruksjoner i nordsamisk språkutvikling
Prosjektet har fokusert på spesifikke strukturelle konstruksjoner i nordsamisk barnespråk. Bentzen har forsket på syntaktiske aspekter, som OV-VO-alternasjon, ved å bruke korpusdataene våre og eksperimenter. OV-VO-alternasjon er også temaet for doktorgradsarbeidet til Bentzens PhD-student, Inga Lill Mikkelsen, som ser på dette fenomenet i lulesamisk voksen- og barnespråk. Sammen har Bentzen og Mikkelsen designet og utført eksperimenter med morsmålstalere av nordsamisk og lulesamisk. Sammen med en annen PhD-student, Ritva Nystad, jobber Bentzen med tilegnelse av negasjon og hjelpeverb i nordsamisk - dette er Nystads tema for PhD-avhandling. Nystad benytter seg av DASAGOs korpusmateriale i sine undersøkelser, og planlegger også å gjennomføre eksperimenter. I tillegg, har vi såvidt begynt å se på de foreløpige resultatene mht negasjon og hjelpeverb i CDI-undersøkelsen.

Bals Baal har fokusert på ordstruktur i nordsamisk, og spesielt på trykkmønster i ord med mer enn to stavelser og i ord med irregulært trykk.

Ord med irregulært trykk er gjerne lånord fra norsk, og disse er mer frekvente i det daglige språket i nordsamiske områder innenfor Norge. Det er to typer lånord; ord med trykk på andre stavelse (banan) og ord med to trykksterke stavelser etter hverandre (ketchup). I nordsamisk får begge ordtypene to trykksterke stavelser etter hverandre. Ord med slikt irregulært trykk er mer utsatt for forkortelser, trykkforskyvning og stavelsesforenkling enn ord med vanlig trykkmønster. Bals Baal har også sett på tilpasning av lånord i voksenspråket, spesielt i spontane lån. I tillegg til at dette er av ren fonologisk interesse, så har slike lån også påvirket tilpasningen av vokabularlista i CDI-skjemaene.

III. Kunnskapsutveksling
Gjennom hele prosjektperioden har DASAGO samarbeidet med ulike institusjoner og profesjonelle som jobber med samisktalende barn. Dette inkluderer barnehage- og skolelærere, logopeder, og foreldre av samisktalende barn. Vi har holdt mange inviterte gjesteforedrag om samisk barnespråk og om språktilegnelse, samt om flerspråklighet generelt. DASAGO var også involvert i kampanjen "Sámás mánáin"/"Snakk samisk med barnet". Sametinget lanserte kampanjen i 2016, og den var rettet mot foreldre til samisktalende barn. Målet er å få flere foreldre til å velge samisk som et av barnets hjemmespråk. DASAGO har bidratt til kampanjen med et veiledningshefte. Videre har Bals Baal og Bentzen holdt foredrag om flerspråklighet og samisk språktilegnelse under lanseringa av kampanjen. De har også holdt inviterte foredrag om flerspråklighet og språkvalg på seminarer i forbindelse med NOU 2016:18 Hjertespråket.

I april 2014 etablerte Bals Baal og Bentzen sammen med Johanna Ijäs fra samisk høgskole et nettverk for forskere som jobber med samisk barnespråk (SAMAGI). Nettverket har 11 medlemmer, fra Tromsø, Alta, Kautokeino og Umeå. Vi holder nå på å publisere et spesialhefte om samisk barnespråk av tidsskriftet Sámi diedalas áigecála. Bals Baal og Bentzens to PhD-studenter har alle artikler i dette spesialheftet.

Språktilegnelse hos samiske barn er et nokså uutforsket område innen
både språkvitenskapen og pedagogikken. Dette står i sterk kontrast til
behovet for kunnskap om dette temaet for å kunne tilrettelegge for samisk
språkutvikling på best mulig måte i barne hager og i skoleverket. Dette
prosjektet imøtekommer dette behovet. Prosjektet har tre deler, som alle er innovative på flere plan.
Del 1 fokuserer på dokumentasjon av samisk barnespråk. Vi skal utvikle nytt barnespråksmateriale: kartleggingstesten CDI (C ommunicative Development Inventory) samt korpus med spontantale fra 3 samisktalende barn, hvorav et samisk/norsk tospråklige. Dette blir den første omfattende kartleggingen og dokumentasjonen av samisk barnespråksutvikling. Verken ressurser som CDI eller  barnespråkskorpus er tilgjengelig pr idag, og utviklingen av dette vil være til stor nytte for forskere, pedagoger og helsepersonell. CDI-testen vil kunne brukes av andre institusjoner som har behov for å undersøke eller følge opp barns språkutvikling. Ko rpuset vil utgjøre et unikt bidrag innen barnespråksforskning.
I del 2 skal vi studere grammatiske aspekter ved samisk barnespråk
(syntaktiske og fonologiske) gjennom korpusstudier og via eksperimenter.
Disse undersøkelsene vil også bli de første i sitt s lag, og resultatene av våre studier i denne delen vil tilføre nye perspektiver til språkteori generelt, og barnespråksforskning spesielt.
Del 3 er rettet mot oppveksts- og pedagogiske vilkår for barn med samisk
språkbakgrunn. Det er i dag stor vilje til å  gi samiske barn muligheten
til skolegang med samisk som formidlingsspråk. Det er da viktig å være
oppmerksom på hvilken språklig kompetanse barn har idet skolegangen
starter. Man får ikke automatisk samisk som morsmål ved å gå i samisk
barnehage. Mer kun nskap om hva som skal til for å bli tospråklig samt en
mer systematisk vurdering av barns språklige kompetanse før skolestart
er særdeles viktig for å forebygge problemer i skolen knyttet til språklige
utfordringer.
