About Research Publications Teaching Outreach

About

I hold a D.Phil in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford, and have previously held research and teaching positions at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Nordic Africa Institute, and the University of Oslo, as well as been attached to an ERC Advanced Grant project at the University of Bergen.

I recently led a research project entitled Forms of Ethics, Shapes of Finance: Ethnographic Explorations of the Limits of Contemporary Capital. The project received funding from the Research Council of Norway and centred on the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global (better known as the 'oil fund'), which currently is the world's largest sovereign wealth fund. This project resultated in several scientific and popular publications, and froms the basis of my current research. 

My previous work was primarily conducted in Tanzania, where I conducted long-term fieldwork in rural areas of Kilimanjaro Region, and in urban environments in Dar es Salaam and its surroundings. This has resulted in publications on a range of topics, such as kinship and marriage, witchcraft, ritual, modes of exchange, forms of knowledge, and cross-cultural comparison, where I specifically investigate vernacular conceptualizations of 'life' and 'life force', and their significance for notions pertaining to personhood, relationality, and ownership.

For my research, I have been awarded the Curl Essay Prize by the Royal Anthropological Institute and the Terence Ranger Prize for African Studies by University of Oxford, and been nominated for the prize Journal Article of the Year by the Scandinavian University Press (Universitetsforlaget).  

At NTNU, I am head of the Master Of Science in Social Anthropology and of the research group Anthropologies of Sustainability.
