Moorings and Disembeddedness

Alexander Gamst Page is an associate professor working at the Department of Social Work at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. His primary education is in social anthropology with a focus on sinology, which gives him particular competence in cross-cultural comparisons, group dynamics and Chinese culture. He teaches qualitative research methods, migration, discrimination and integration. His research interests include migration, identity, diversity, integration, discrimination, religious conversion and religious minorities. He has published nine journal articles, nine book chapters and has edited two books. These cover a wide range of topics from the presentation of Islam in Norwegian media, to the inclusion of children with autism, to migration and diversity. Four of these publications grew out of the same fieldwork on which this book is based. Of these, the most widely cited is “Emerging empowerment of international students” by Page and Chahboun, published in the prestigious journal “Higher Education”.
