What is a concept, and what do social scientists do with it?
Two things are central to today’s societies: first, these societies are built on technologies, and second, knowledge is crucial in organizing these societies. However, if we look at what kind of knowledge is typically used in governing modern societies, we see a dominance of experts: people with the right diplomas get most opportunities to contribute their knowledge. When it comes to issues around complex technologies, this phenomenon becomes stronger, because the requirements for knowledge seem to become even more specific.
I work as a researcher in Science, Technology and Society Studies at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). This website contains all information on my academic work.
