Independent research & analysis
An independent platform examining how policy, media, technology and public institutions shape rights and everyday life, in African contexts and in Norway.
The editorial lens
Every piece here starts from the distance between the two. These are the questions the platform asks, not conclusions.
Research focus
How do the systems that govern information, technology and public services shape what people can actually do?
How information, technology and public power intersect, and what that means for rights, participation and trust.
How public institutions, welfare systems and communication barriers affect immigrants' access to information, services and participation.
The reading room
Research-informed writing that connects evidence, institutions and lived experience. The first pieces are being written now.
Why information integrity needs more than correcting individual falsehoods.
A review of research on information access and navigating public services.
How pieces are written. Articles draw on credible research, policy documents and evidence. Sources, and the limits of that evidence, are stated in each piece.
Examining the gap between what policies and institutions promise and how those promises are experienced in real life.
