Í framhaldi av Ph.D. verkætlan eri eg farin undir at fyrireika eina granskingarverkætlan um  parlamentariskar eftirlitsnevndir í teimum Norðurlendsku parlamentarisku skipanunum. Harumframt eri eg eisini áhuga í at fáa gongd á granskingarøkið um í hvønn mun nationalu parlamentini fylgja við í og hava eftirlit við politiska sjórnarvirkseminum, sum fyrigongur í Arktiska ráðnum.

Yvirskipaða evnið fyri míni Ph.D. ritgerð frá november 2018: “MP Firefighting: When do MPs hold government accountable?” er eftirlit við útøvandi sjórnarvaldi, ið er ein týdningarmikil partur av at tryggja ”accountability” í nýmótans politiskum skipanum. Hóast veljarin og valinstitutiónin hevur ein týdningarmiklan ”accountability” leiklut, so hevur veljarin ongar formligar eftirlitsmøguleikar í millum val. Í hesum tíðarskeiði hava parlamentir ein leiklut, serliga í skipanum við tingræði, har tað er parlamentið og ikki veljarin, sum gevur vald til stjórnina. Stjórnin stendur til svars yvir fyri parlamentinum. Tó er tað soleiðis, at í parlamentinum so standa tingfólk við væntanum frá tveimum ymiskum leiklutum: ”partapolitiska” og ”parlamentariska” leiklutin. Við hesi ritgerð fáa vit nýggja vitan um, hvussu tingfólk viga hesar báðar leiklutirnar, tá ið talan er um eftirlitsvirksemi í tinginum. Ritgerðin leggur dent á sonevnt ”Fire Alarm” eftirlit frá eftirlitsstovnum og á tørvin á ”Firefighting” frá tingfólki í parlamentinum.
