Dr Ida Norberg

  • Lecturer (Sociological & Cultural Studies)

Research interests

I am a sociologist who specialises in the understanding of neoliberalism and its intersection with disablism, with a particular interest in the social Darwinist elements embedded in neoliberal theory. Beyond this, I am interested in bureaucratization and its capacity for violence and the way it impacts marginalised populations. I have a keen interest in social theory, the moral vocabulary of economic theory, and class.

In my research, I broadly use Marxist, Bourdieusian as well as theories on disablement inspired by the social model of disability. I also specialise in qualitative research and, in particular, research with groups that have been historically marginalised in society and within academia. I believe in an accessible pedagogy and accessible, transparent, and reflexive research practices.
