Evi Petersen

I am currently employed as an Associate Professor in Sport Sciences at USN. I lead the DAM-funded project (2025–2026) "Better Balance for People with Balance Impairments". https://www.usn.no/forskning/prosjekter/andre-prosjekter/skoinnovasjon-for-okt-balanse/bedre-balanse Before, I was a PhD candidate at USN (enrolled in the PhD program: Culture Studies). In my PhD project, I was working theoretically and empirically on participants’ emotional and embodied experience that result from engaging in friluftsliv (outdoor activities). My theoretical approach draws from perspective related to Sport Science with a focus on health, Psychology and Culture Studies. I am generally interested in collaborative projects at the interface between physical activity, health-related wellbeing & nature environments.
