Research and teaching interests:

Social marginality has been a main topic in his publications. Recently he has contributed  to the development of  improved subject or agency perspectives in welfare-policy research. Rune Halvorsen's  research interests include comparative welfare policy,  analysis of social movement mobilisation and coping strategies among disabled people and social security claimants in Western Europe. He has previously published on coping strategies and self-organisation among Norwegian Travellers (a Roma like population) and their relationship to public authorities after the former official assimilation policy was abolished in the 1980's. He has also published on  the  recent tendency in Western European countries  to recognise and provide legal  protection for housholds/families different from the 'nuclear family'.
