Runa Brandal Myklebust

Researcher studying gender, knowledge and education

Runa Brandal Myklebust holds a master in anthropology from the University of Oslo and a Ph.D. in Studies of professions from OsloMet (2020). The Ph.D. thesis concerns gender non-traditional choices of education and investigates the male and the female minority position in two gender-typed study fields.

Myklebust studies among other things how different types of knowledge, skills and qualities are assigned value and further how this intersects with perceptions of gender, ethnicity and social class. Myklebust has experience with a variety of qualitative methods.
