Janike Kampevold Larsen is Professor at the Institute of Urbanism and Landscape. She is also Head of Landscape Section

Larsen holds a Dr. Art in Literature.

I teach and research contemporary landscape, currently with a particular focus on Arctic landscapes. My research links landscape studies to material studies, environmental humanities and contemporary archaeology. Current projects focus on the time landscapes and cultural heritage in the Svalbard territory, as well as place development in the Arctic, particularly in the city of Vardø.
In the RCN funded Future North project we researched, mapped and projected into Arctic landscapes and the relationship between landscape change and social development. Sites included the Canadian North, the Kola Peninsula, the Norwegian Barents Coast and Svalbard. 

Ongoing research includes Arctic coastlines, The timelandscape of Bjørnøya and the cultural history of glaciers in Svalbard in the project The Way Ice Works.
I am also co-PI on the project To manage or not: assessing the benefit of managing ecosystem disservices, where I offer humanistic perspectives on research on ecosystem management and discuss the project in a beyond culture and nature perspective on changing scientific agendas in the world of climate change. 

I am one of the editors in Journal of Landscape Architecture (JoLA)

2011-2017 I was project coordinator for the work to extablish a program in Landscape Architecture in Tromsø, a joint program with UiT, the Arctic University of Norway. 
2013-2017 project leader for the RCN-funded project Future North, a project that researched Northern and Arctic landscapes and territories,
2008-2011 I was part of the research project Routes, roads and landscapes, Aesthetic practices en route 1750–2015. I have been working as a literary critic, as an Assistant professor in Comparative Literature and as editor of both literary publications and the literary magazine Vinduet.
