Mai Britt Utsi is an assistant professor in sámi literature with focus on oral literature at Sámi University of Applied Sciences (SUAS). Before her current position, she has been a teacher in sámi primary school for many years. Over the years from 1990, Utsi has held various positions at SUAS, as rector and as dean for two different periods.

She is currently working on a doctoral thesis on the yoiks in Varanger on the Northern Eastern Coastal area of Norway. The temporary title of the thesis is in english Yoiks of Memories, Crafts of Emotions- Varanger Joiks as an Art of Remembering people. Here she highlights results from analysis of several Yoik lyrics, and shows what the Yoik lyrics express about the intimate connections between people and between the land and the people. The Yoiks have been used as a kind of mapping of places where the performers, with their traditional memo technique, had a close relation with places that played an important role in their personal or collective history.

Teaching: Sámi literature, Sámi oral literature at programmes with Sámi language and literature, as well as in the study Juoigan ja muitaleapmi, Yoik and storytelling.

Research Topics: Sámi Oral literature, with focus on Sámi Yoik.
