Emeritus
Just a comment re: "Note that the archive as of Jan 31 says "Professor", while the current website says "Emeritus", indicating 2024 as the year of taking Emeritus status assuming the website was promptly updated". As public employees, Norwegian professors are (as a rule) forced to adopt emeritus status on their 70th birthday. Which would fit with her turning 70 this week. As emeriti, they are entitled to continue their work in the same way as before, but may also become retirees outright. Geschichte (talk) 09:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the information, didn't know that. Apparently her website at UBergen literally just went dead (that link worked three days ago saying "Emeritus", and now it kicks you to the overall list of all faculty - seems kinda rude, you'd think they'd keep it up even if she's genuinely retired?), implying she probably did retire.
 * I'm also curious whether she's best represented as Danish-born Norwegian, Danish living in Norway, or Danish-Norwegian. I thought it was the first but the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters apparently classed her as a "foreign" member.  But maybe they only pick that in 1998 and don't update it later.  (Kinda frustrating that despite publishing quite a bit, almost nobody seems to have published any news on her - not even campus newspaper type stuff.  Or if they did, Google didn't pick it up easily.)
 * I guess I'll email her old UBergen email, but given the above, no idea if it's even hooked up anymore or she's paying attention to it. SnowFire (talk) 16:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
