Norwegian author Alf Prøysen’s feisty little old Mrs Pepperpot appeared for the first time in print in 1955. Translated into well over twenty languages, the now classic Mrs Pepperpot stories have, so far, received surprisingly little critical attention. Empowering Transformations: Mrs Pepperpot Revisited fills that long over-due gap by providing a range of essays written by experts in the field. The volume explores Prøysen’s heroine in dialogue with recent theorising in order to broaden and deepen the understanding of her enduring popularity. The study introduces Prøysen’s works and career to an international readership, but also delves deeper into the Mrs Pepperpot phenomenon. Her character is analysed in view of metamorphosis, power, gender, and queer theory, and the stories’ ethical impact is assessed through the use of cognitive literary theory. Mrs Pepperpot’s many transformations into other media (illustration, sculpture, radio, TV, and Advent Calendar) are also considered, as well as her relations to nature, animals and technology, which are approached eco- and techno-critically. The volume appeals to an academic readership interested in literature, children’s literature, media studies, cultural studies and Scandinavian studies, as well as the general public celebrating Prøysen’s 100th anniversary in 2014.

The book begins with an explanation of the concept of inclusive innovation, defined as the development and implementation of new ideas, products, services, and processes that aim to meet the needs and improve the well-being of marginalized or underserved populations. Inclusive innovation seeks to ensure that the benefits of innovation are shared across society, including those who are often excluded from mainstream economic and technological progress, including students with disabilities. This concept is critical to creating a more just and equitable society. By focusing on the needs of underserved populations and ensuring that the benefits of innovation are shared widely, inclusive innovation can drive sustainable development and improve the quality of life for all. Addressing challenges and promoting strategies that support inclusivity in the innovation process will be key to achieving these goals. The book highlights the role of students with disabilities in developing innovative solutions, emphasizing their contribution to fostering inclusivity in society. The book provides examples of innovations that were originally designed for people with disabilities but were later universally adopted, highlighting the importance of products that are universally designed to accommodate all abilities.
