Key areas of my research are knowledge, participation, power, and gender in the design of information technologies. I have primarily studied these issues in the context of the digitization of the public sector, and I am currently involved in two research projects: one dealing with alarm and rescue systems, where I focus on gender issues related to information technologies in this area, and one dealing with smart grids, where we ask critical questions about the potential effects of information technologies in this context.

Research on knowledge, participation, power, and gender in IT design
My research area is design – in the broad sense – ofinformation technologies, design as a collaborative effort to create a world in which everyone has a place; a social and material practice that takes place in different contexts and at different levels.
