26 Dorina Damsa: Border criminology, the state, Norway as colonial power

Dorina Damsa is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Oslo. Her research interests include crimmigration law, climate change, migration, and global inequality regimes. Her PhD dissertation in criminology from the University of Oslo from 2022 was called Women and Bordered Penality in the Nordic Welfare State. Here, she examined citizenship, punishment, and welfare in Norway and Denmark through extensive fieldwork with non-citizen women in penal institutions.

She recently started a new project called Climate Change Adaptation, Dispossession and Displacement (ADD), where she is studying the gendered dimensions of displacement caused by climate change adaptation programs in coastal areas around the world. Here she continues her work on contemporary border control regimes and the human consequences of border policing.
