Background and academic interests
Siv is particularly interested in communication and relationships, as well as how societal languages and norms shape reality for individuals. She has worked for several years in high school settings, facilitating teaching for young people facing challenges related to behavioral diagnoses or experiencing anxiety and depression. This experience has sparked a special interest in exploring how children and young people perceive and cope with such diagnoses, and how it impacts their self-understanding.
Her Ph.D. project, "How am I me? Young adults' personal narratives of living with ADHD?", are based on how the informants describe themselves and their emotional world, while also examining the expectations and societal norms within which this occurs. Furthermore, it has been central to explore what motivates different subject-positions and how these, in turn, affect the experience of future hope.
