About me

My work is at the intersection of Science and Technology Studies (STS), ethics and Anticipation Studies, with a focus on anticipations of AI in higher education and its practices.

The aim with my research is to reflectively and critically investigate how anticipations of AI in Higher Education, generate ethical responses in current research and policy work. I am also interested in methodological issues connected to how anticipations can be identified and explored.
