Eva Bakøy (1955)

Position

Associate professor in Film and Television Studies

Teaching

I teach two courses in the MA program Film and Television Studies: Visual Media in Change and Text Theory and Analysis. I also lecture in film history and television genres.

Research

I have written and published on a broad range of topics in the area of film and television studies emphasizing questions at the intersection of aesthetics and social/ethnic identity. My PhD thesis focused upon the history of children’s television in Norway. Later works have dealt with dating games on television and how migrant woman women relate to television.

My current research is about diasporic filmmaking in Norway and quality discussions in the Norwegian Film Fund which is in charge of administering all national support of film production in Norway.
