Fréttatilkynning verkefnisstjóra
Rannsóknin snýst um að skoða samfélagsleg áhrif á ungar konur í litlum byggðarlögum, þar sem sérstök áhersla er á áhrif og vald slúðurs, félagslegt taumhald og skömmun. Einnig eru skoðuð tengsl búferlaflutninga og slúðurs.
Niðurstöður byggja á gögnum úr viðtölum við ungar konur í litlum byggðarlögum á Íslandi sem tekin voru árin 2019-2021 og gögnum úr búferlakönnun sem Byggðastofnun lagði fyrir um allt land árin 2019-2020.
