Avdeling for kunstfag, design og media
Forskergruppen kunstfag er en forskergruppe med fokusområdet Kunstnerisk Utvikling (artistic research) i regi av School of Arts, Design and Media.
Forskningsgruppa Forskning møter Kunst (FoKu-gruppa) består av både forskere og designere ved Høyskolen Kristiania. Gruppa arbeider tverrfaglig og på tvers av disipliner med å utvikle kunstutstillinger, antologier og perfomancer. Felles for medlemmene av gruppa er at de undersøker hva som befinner seg mellom såkalt FoU og KU-arbeid. Hvordan kan forskere og designere formidle på en annen måte enn gjennom det vitenskapelige forskningsspråket? Hvordan kan kunst nå inn til den som ser på en annen måte enn mer tradisjonell kunnskapsformidling? Hver på sin måte jobber alle i gruppa med tekster og materiale som er i bevegelse, og de undersøker hva som glipper i det noe språkliggjøres.
Pågående prosjekt: «Hist og her – mellom kunst og forskning».

typ-0@kristiania.noTYP-0.Lab was founded during the development of a book, Fashion Spaces/A Theoretical View, which was published in 2020 by Frame Publishers. The book proposes a new typology, Fashion Spaces, which extends beyond fashion shows and into retail design and urbanism. The book is available online.
In 2021, TYP-0.Lab formed a long-term strategic partnership with the newly established International Library of Fashion Research in Oslo. The goal is to create a new type of space that starts with a physical site at the National Musesum and builds on the principles of fashion spaces while incorporating the library's research and educational aspects.

Agendaen til RAGLO – Research Activity Group in Leadership and Organization – er tredelt: a) å frembringe ny forskning innen ledelses- og organisasjonsfag, b) å stimulere til debatt om aktuelle forskningsspørsmål, som fortrinnsvis gjøres via månedlige «Forskningsfrokoster» med inviterte gjester, og c) hvordan støtte individuell forskerutvikling i tråd med Høyskolen Kristianias overordnede mål om økt eksternfinansiering, utvikling av doktorgradsprogrammer og internasjonalt samarbeid.
Den faglige bakgrunnen til vår gruppe strekker seg over et tverrfaglig lappeteppe, fra sosiologi og økonomi til psykologi og biologi, og forskerne har bred erfaring fra arbeidslivet. Dette anvendte fokuset gjenspeiler seg også i teoretiske og metodiske diskusjoner, der vi driver løsningsorientert forskning med sikte på å skaffe innsikt i sentrale fagutfordringer.
Våre forskningsinteresser- og aktiviteter forenes i en grunnleggende interesse for hva som faktisk skjer med ledelse og organisasjon av næringsliv, offentlig sektor og idrett. Vår forskning på disse områdene, som blant annet innebærer en avtale med Cappelen Damm Akademisk om flere forskningsbaserte antologier, inkluderer alt fra enkeltpersoners erfaringer til strategiske valg for den enkelte bedrift og større samfunnstendenser.

The main objective is to empirically describe everyday life in organisations, how knowledge-intensive organisations are led, discuss how they can make a culture for better organisational learning – and why this is vital for small and medium companies in an era of rapid changes. The idea is to think big and start small and to create an informal, diverse, bottom-up-driven group. The group was created in early October 2020 and has currently eight members from SCLM, including two PhD students. The members have published in books and high-ranking journals, including Industry and Innovation, the Scandinavian Journal of Business Research, the Journal of Trust Research, Regional Studies, the Journal of the Knowledge Economy, FORMakademisk, Søkelys på arbeidslivet, the Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management and Innovation, the International Journal of Innovation Management, the International Journal of Action Research and Systemic Practice and Action Research. One group member is also involved in the anthology project ‘Leading work and people in the new working life’. A substantial part of the associated publications and the work conducted in this research group are directly relevant as curriculum for the PhD course Change Management and Organisational Learning.

In particular, the group investigates how art, psychology and esports can contribute towards each other’s field. For example, knowledge of the human perceptual system can contribute towards our understanding of art experience; art history can explain design elements and its function in video games; and esport speaks to changes in human behaviour in accordance with technological development and growth of the esport industry, to name a few.
The group actively conduct research in experimental art history, esport psychology and culture, art and perception, gender effects, and neuromedievalism. However, the group is open towards all projects falling under any discipline, and is not limited to an interdisciplinary approach. Members are welcome to work on projects related to general psychology, art history, esports, or any combination of these.
ACE has several active projects related to gender, art perception, psychology of video games, esport culture and gaming, and history of science, to name a few. The largest active project in the group is Gender in Norwegian Art (GINA), which investigates the psychosocial causes of gender inequality in the Norwegian art market.

Kritisk tenkning er noe som ofte etterspørres, men sjeldent defineres. Våre gruppemedlemmer bruker forskjellige perspektiver og metoder som bidrar til en tydeliggjøring av begrepet, samt nærmere undersøker hvordan kritisk tenkning utvikles gjennom livet i formelle og uformelle læringssituasjoner. Vi forsker også på kildevurdering, argumentasjon, evidens begrepet og evidensbasert praksis, egen undervisningspraksis og epistemisk kognisjon.
The Critical Thinking Research Lab conducts research on the learning, development and teaching of critical thinking in people with varied learning profiles. Critical thinking is often encouraged, but seldom defined. The members of our research group use different perspectives and methods that contribute to better defining the concept, as well as studying how critical thinking develops throughout life, in formal and informal learning situations. Our research also focuses on source evaluation, argumentation, the concept of evidence and evidence-based practice, scholarship of teaching and learning and epistemic cognition.

Treningsvitenskap er et fagfelt som beskriver hvordan en bør teste og trene for å sikre optimale fysiologiske og mekaniske adaptasjoner i forhold til helse og prestasjon. Utholdenhet og styrke er de egenskapene det fokuseres mest på, men eksplosivitet og balanse/mobilitet blir også tillagt noe vekt.
Forskergruppens prosjekter anvender i hovedsak en naturvitenskaplig tilnærming, men kvalitativ metode blir enkelte ganger tatt i bruk der det er hensiktsmessig.
Sentrale forskningsområder er trening, testing og adaptasjon i forbindelse med trening av styrke, hurtighet, utholdenhet og balanse/mobilitet, samt helsekartlegging.
TreVit samarbeider med en rekke nasjonale (f.eks. NTNU; NIH, UiA, UiS, UiT, Olympiatoppen) og internasjonale institusjoner (f.eks. University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Fulham Football Club in London, Aspetar in Doha, Vrije Universiteit-Amsterdam, Nucleus of High Performance in Sport – Sao Paolo, University of Melbourne).
