Field of work
My teaching and research interests lie at the intersection between environmental history, the history of knowledge and business history, primarily within modern and contemporary history. My PhD thesis, which is available for download here (in Norwegian), explored the development of Norwegian public debates about global environmental issues in the post-war era. I am currently involved in two business history projects, one about the research institute SINTEF and the construction of the Norwegian innovation system in the postwar era, the other about the history of Norwegian hydropower.
