My name is Britt-Inger Keisu, and I am an associate professor in Sociology, employed at the department of Sociology. Throughout my research, I have focused on work–life issues, gender, social, and ethnic equality, and its prerequisites for working conditions and work environment. Currently I work with the research project: “Working as a reindeer herder - A study of gender, race and place within concession- and forest Sami reindeer husbandry in the northernmost of Sweden”. The aim is to investigate the relation gender-race-place by focusing on Sami reindeer herders lived experiences of working conditions and work environment within concession- and forest reindeer husbandry in the northernmost of Sweden, a region that historically been and still are exposed to abuse and extensive political influence.

My theoretical interest can be positioned at the intersection between organisation- feminism- and indigenous theoretical perspectives. I have been the leader of several research projects, using foremost qualitative but also quantitative methods, and I have applied collaborative approaches. Currently I am also involved in an arctic research network: “Gender in the artic five”, with Network grant from NOS-HS, and in a research project with focus on an arctic minority group: “KASUTA – to grow up as a Kven/Norwegian Finn”, a research project at UiT, The Arctic University of Norway. In addition to serving on a review panel for the annual call for project grants at FORTE, The Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare, I am also the vice chairman at FALF, Forum for Working Life Research in Sweden.
