About

CV

I am a Professor of History at NTNU. I am working within the history of science and technology, broadly defined. My main research interests are related to the history of knowledge. More specifically, I have been concerned with modern Norwegian and European knowledge institutions, such as universities and research councils, and with ocean science and technology.

I have also published on topics ranging from military-industrial history to media history and urban waterfront development history. I have also published works that may be labeled design history, business history, and the history of higher education.

I have taught courses in digital history, historiography, history of science and technology, and cultural heritage studies. Apart from teaching, supervising, and research, I also have experience with creating museum exhibitions through the NTNU Faros Knowledge Park. I was part of the team behind the exhibition Klima X at the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology in Oslo, which received the Roy L. Shafer Leading Edge Award in 2009.

I received my doctoral degree from NTNU in 2006, where my dissertation examined the cultural production, mediation, and consumption of the Italian 'Vespa' scooter in the 1950s and 1960s.

In 2002, I was a visiting scholar at the Zentralinstitut für Geschichte der Technik, at TU Munich.

In 2004, I was project coordinator of the interdisciplinary research project 'The Factory' ('Fabrikken'), resulting in a series of working papers and the book Fabrikken, for which I was co-editor, as well as translator and contributor. In 2004 the book Fabrikken was awarded the annual best non-fiction book prize by the Norwegian newspaper Klassekampen.

In 2010 I published a book on the history of my own alma mater NTNU, covering 250 years of science, scholarship, engineering, and higher education, in collaboration with historian Ola Nordal.

Between 2014-2019, I was PI for the project 'The history of the Norwegian Research Councils, 1946-2016'.

I also participated in the NRC SAMKUL research project 'The High Seas and the Deep Oceans: Representations, Resources and Regulatory Practice' (3ROceans).  (2016-2022)

Since 2022, I have participated in the NRC research project "Maritime Modernities - Formats of Oceanic Knowledge."

I am PI for a pilot project exploring the significance of the office room in academic knowledge production, 'The Office as a Mileu for Ideas and a Theatre of Memory.' 

I am/have been part of the supervising team for the following doctoral candidates:

Frode Weium (Thesis defended 2017)
Tirza Meyer (Thesis defended 2018)
Christina Næss (Thesis defended 2022)
Kim K. Ménage
Widar Aa. Kristoffersen
Ingebjørg Eidhammer
