PhD Project
In 2021, I defended my doctoral dissertation, Pa-KOW! Doing Participatory Knowledge Work in Museums and Archives, conducted at the University of Oslo’s Department of Education. The project involved research-practice partnerships with Norwegian museums and archives.
I conducted empirical studies of digital technologies and interactions with publics, focusing on Facebook users and historical photographs at the Oslo Museum, citizen scientists and herbarium sheets at the Natural History Museum, and youth meme researchers at the Norwegian Folklore Archives.
