Margunn Bjørnholt (born 1958) is a Norwegian sociologist and feminist. She is an expert on work-family arrangements and gender equality, and, in particular, men's role and agency in social change towards more egalitarian work-family-arrangements.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Other research fields include feminist legal theory, social justice, feminist economics, microfinance, ethical banking, public sector reform and management, and cultural sociology. She has been a researcher at the University of Oslo and the Work Research Institute, a visiting scholar at Emory University School of Law, and now works at Kvinneuniversitetet i Norden. She has also been a national expert on gender equality to the European Commission Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, is chair of CINI in Norway and is a member of the executive board of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights. She was involved in the alternative banking movement in the 1990s as chair of a working group attempting to start a bank in Norway modelled after JAK Members Bank in Sweden, and formerly worked at the Regional Development Fund and the National Institute of Technology, and as a partner in a consultancy, promoting female entrepreneurship.[10] She is also a regular commentator in Norwegian media on gender equality, and has contributed op-eds to Aftenposten, Dagbladet, Dagens Næringsliv, Morgenbladet, Klassekampen and other publications.
She holds a cand.mag. degree in regional planning from the University of Tromsø (1981), an MA in international economics from the College of Europe in Belgium (1982) and a mag.art. degree in sociology from the University of Oslo (1995), with a dissertation on alternative financial institutions (Pengene mot strømmen).[11]
