Majken Jul Sørensen, PhD, is an associate professor of sociology at Østfold University College, Norway and Karlstad University, Sweden. The basic question underlying all Majken’s research is “how do people change society?”. Her interest in nonviolent social movements, conflict transformation as well as humour and political activism has to a large degree focused on participants’ experiences and people’s agency and ability to create change from below. The question of how change occurs has taken Majken to social science areas such as social movement theory, resistance studies and sociology of humour, law, history and emotions. Currently Majken is exploring the phenomena constructive resistance and everyday resistance empirically and theoretically. Majken leads the projekt ”Children’s expressions of resistance in preschools” where she together with collegues from Østfold Univeristy College explores childrens’ quiet and discreet resistance to adult power in preschools.
