    Fjölgun innflytjenda í háskólum á Íslandi kallar á viðbrögð háskólayfirvalda, kennara og háskólasamfélagsins. Íslenskar og erlendar rannsóknir sýna að menntastofnanir, einkum á háskólastigi, gegna mikilvægu hlutverki við að tryggja félagslegt jafnrétti, ...
  • Benediktsson, Artem Ingmar; Wozniczka, Anna Katarzyna; Tran, Anh Dao Katrín; Ragnarsdottir, Hanna (Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences, 2019-05-28)
    The paper is based on the first, extensive, qualitative study on immigrant students’ experiences of university education in Iceland. The theoretical framework is based on culturally responsive teaching that derives from multicultural education theory ...
  • Júlíusdóttir, Ólöf; Rafnsdóttir, Gudbjörg LINDA; Einarsdóttir, Þorgerður J. (Emerald, 2018-11-06)
    Purpose: Iceland, along with the other Nordic countries, is seen as an international frontrunner in gender equality and equal sharing of responsibility for paid and unpaid work is part of the official ideology. Nevertheless, the number of women in ...
  • Friðriksdóttir, Guðrún Sif (Informa UK Limited, 2018-07-18)
    The image of the warrior as the ultimate symbol of manhood is familiar across cultures and countries. There is a large quantity of research that demonstrates the connection between militarism and masculinity, and militarized masculinities have been ...
  • Friðriksdóttir, Guðrún Sif (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-02)
    In both academic literature and policy discourse, ex-combatants are at times depicted as a threat to peace rather than agents of positive change. However, many of my ex-combatant interlocutors in Burundi were working actively on conflict resolution and ...
  • Gophane, Dnyaneshwar B.; Endeward, Burkhard; Prisner, Thomas F.; Sigurdsson, Snorri (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018)
    A new isoindoline-derived benzimidazole nitroxide spin label, ImUm, was synthesized and incorporated into RNA oligoribonucleotides. ImUm is the first example of a conformationally unambiguous spin label for RNA, in which the nitroxide N–O bond lies on ...
