Min nåværende forskning er fokusert blant annet omkring praksiser og bruk av IQ-tester som diagnoseverktøy, som en del av prosjektet "Historizing Intelligence: Tests, metrics, and the shaping of contemporary society".
Faglige interesser inkluderer forholdet mellom sosial struktur og individuell agens, og etnografiske og antropologiske tilnærming til utdanning, selv-formasjon, læring og kunst. Dette omfatter interesser knyttet til kreativitet, konseptualiseringer av intelligens, institusjonaliseringsprosesser og disiplinær sosialitet.

Material heritage and the historicization of the present.
Vis sammendrag
The exhibition “Inside the box? Over 100 years of measuring intelligence” shows a selection of psychometric tests. Such tests have been used as a diagnostic tool in the healthcare system, in forensic psychiatric assessments, in medical and psychological research as well as in the military, and the education system. Their long history connects them to debates over the role of heredity and environment, the politics of segregation and integration, and policies related to sorting and accommodation.
The exhibition is based on the research project “Historicizing intelligence” which explores the long history of IQ-testing and “intelligence” in Norway. But neither the research project, nor the exhibition would have been possible without historical sources. Such historical sources - the historical heritage of universities - are often in a state of continuous crisis. Universities seldom prioritize material heritage and its preservation is often a matter of an emergency operation. Using this exhibition and the process of making it as starting point, this session will discuss how university material heritage is not only an indispensable resource for research, but also an important moment for institutions and disciplinary communities to reflect on their history, practices and social role.
The session includes a guided tour of the exhibition and an open discussion with the curators and researchers.
