Research
My research focuses on the impact of AI and digital technologies on welfare areas such as education and child welfare services. I am particularly interested in how data-driven technologies influence the organization of welfare and the relationship between the state and citizens. Previously, I have conducted research on data-driven governance and management, including an ethnographic study of the Ministry of Education’s “Data Warehouse” and national tests. Theoretically and methodologically, I draw inspiration from anthropology, science and technology studies (STS), and organizational theory.
