Field of specialisation

I work in the field of studies of science and technology. I am interested in contemporary changes of academic and HE institutions, the role of expertise in environmental issues and the reflexive travel of knowledge between science and society. My research draws on qualitative poststructuralist branches of social sciences (sociology, social anthropology, science and technology studies). Since 2008 I collaborate with a NGO Green Circle on a research and advocacy project developing new modes of collaboration between NGOs, the public and the academic sector.
