SUMMARY:Material Acts of Resistance: Researching\, reconstructing\, and re-imagining socio-political clothing stories
DESCRIPTION:  \nClothing is a critical socio-technology of everyday life; both mundane and familiar and invested with social and political significance. The political subject is (almost) always dressed (and even when they are not\, this too is a potent act). This lecture focuses on two projects: Bikes & Bloomers is about convertible cycling costumes patented by pioneering women in 1890s Britain and Politics of Patents maps connections between citizenship and clothing in global patent archives from 1820 to 2020. This research takes a feminist technoscience and inventive practice approach to examine how and in what ways inventors create new forms of clothing that resist\, subvert or disrupt social and political norms and beliefs\, and in the process\, bring new expressions of citizenship into being. Using patent archives\, ethnographic methods and speculative sewing\, the research seeks to open for discussion embodied\, object-oriented and performative ways of thinking with\, in and through inventive forms of knowledge making and transmission. Throughout\, I reflect on the intimacy of making and wearing the clothes of others and what happens when as researchers we get up close to (and into) our research. \n  \n  \nBio: \nDr Kat Jungnickel (www.KatJungnickel.com) is a Reader in Sociology\, Director of the Methods Lab and PI on the European Research Council–funded project Politics of Patents\, which examines citizenship via two hundred years of global clothing inventions. Her research explores mobilities\, gender\, technology cultures\, DIY/making practices\, and visual and inventive methods. Recent publications include: (ed) Transmissions: critical tactics for making and communicating research (MIT Press 2020)\, Creative Practice Ethnographies (with Hjorth\, Harris and Coombs\, Rowman & Littlefield 2020) and Bikes and Bloomers: Victorian Women Inventors and their Extraordinary Cycle Wear (Goldsmiths Press 2018). \n  \n  \n  \nTues 14th June 10:30 – 12:00\, Aud 2

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Democratic Situations
DESCRIPTION:TiP Associate Professor Irina Papazu and Aalborg colleague Andreas Birkbak invite you to a launch event for their new book Democratic Situations. \n\n\n\nAbout the book \nDemocratic Situations places the making and doing of democratic politics at the centre of relational research. The book turns the well-known sites of contemporary Euro-American democracy – elections\, bureaucracies\, public debates and citizen participation – into fluctuating democratic situations where supposedly untouchable democratic ideals are contested and warped in practice. The empirical cases demonstrate that democracy cannot be reduced to theoretical schemes of conflict\, institutions or deliberation. Instead\, they offer an urgently needed renewal \nof our understanding of democratic politics at a time when conventional ideas increasingly fail to capture current events such as Brexit\, Trump and Covid19. \n\n\n\n\n\nTime & Place \n8 June 2022\, 14:00 – 15:30\nTANTLab\, room 2.3.002a\, Aalborg University Copenhagen\, A.

SUMMARY:DASTS22
DESCRIPTION:Under the theme “Living with Ruptures: Repair\, Maintenance\, and (Re)Construction”\, DASTS 2022 is happening in Aarhus from the 2nd to the 3rd of June: \n“The world seems to be filled with ruptures. Ongoing migration issues\, pandemics\, mistrust in institutions\, climate change catastrophes\, among other chronic and unresolved crises. It is compelling to interrogate the status and demands of STS-oriented research in the moment during\, after\, with\, and despite ruptures: How do we live with them? Should we (re)construct or maintain the “normal”? What do we leave behind and what do we repair?” \n“DASTS 2022 provides a platform to gather and share ongoing and emergent STS-related research\, particularly in Denmark and the Nordic space. Here\, we want to discuss how the current landscape of STS methods and theories inform and impact maintenance practices and reactions to ruptures.” \nThe full programme\, including a full list of speakers and abstracts\, is available here: DASTS22 \nAmong the speakers is a long list of TiPsters: \n  \nTRACK 5: Art\, Science\, and Technology Studies (II) \n Chair: Adam Bencard \nThursday\, June 2\, 4pm-5.30pm\, 2022 – Nygaard 184 \nChristopher Gad \nUdredning-Udtrykt / Expressing ’undergoing diagnosis’  \nABSTRACT: \nParents to children undergoing socio-medical diagnosis (udredning) in Denmark live through a range of unfamiliar experiences with authorities\, institutions\, the child\, and themselves as families. It would be an understatement to claim that this situation is often marked by uncertainty\, it is resource-draining\, and it is a situation in which it is difficult to find a stable foothold. One common theme amongst such parents seems to be that they must often become the ‘project manager’ or ‘their own caseworker’\, as the institutions and institutional actors they encounter when seeking a diagnosis quickly multiply and are in many cases not wellcoordinated. Or in the parlor of STS\, they become the partial managers of the infra-structure for their child’s diagnosis. For instance\, parents often become the caretakers of the increasingly complex story of their child\, which is important not only in the various encounters with institutions for something to happen\, but also in relation to their families\, neighbors\, and friends. This talk is a report from an ongoing research trough design project on giving expression to this situation. It first consisted in conducting a qualitative investigation of the experiences of parents to children\, who have been through such a process. Followingly the project has been concerned with transforming the empirical material gathered into an art/design installation which may hopefully work to enable a broader conversation on the issue. The presentation will be about how the research developed from its initial motivational ideas – to its present state. \n\nTRACK 9: Caring and Commoning in/through STS interventions  \nChair: Giacomo Poderi & Maurizio Teli \nFriday\, June 3\, 9am-10.30am\, 2022 – Nygaard 184 \nAdam Veng & Irina Papazu \nControversy mapping and the care for climate commons – Re-assembling the Danish climate movement by counter-mapping digital network maps \nABSTRACT: \nThe Danish general electoral campaign in 2019 saw a unifying culmination of the “climate movement”\, as a diverse assembly of green think tanks\, school children and direct-action protest groups succeeded in turning climate into the paramount political issue of the election. The government has since signed the “most ambitious Climate Act in the world”\, however\, the climate movement\, alongside several scientific experts\, has since expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s politics on the green agenda\, while the government itself and its established networks of cooperate “climate partnerships” maintains to uphold an ambitious climate politics. This paper is based on nine months of mixed-methods research\, using the digital tools Hyphe\, Gephi and CorText to map the relations between different public Danish actors (NGO’s\, businesses etc.) and their “matters of concern” (Latour 2004) in the controversy of the Danish green transition. Inspired by literature on counter-mapping data science (Dalton and Stallmann 2018)\, it introduces an interventionist methodological experiment in using network maps as props for material participation (Marres & Lezeaun 2011) in a workshop setting with invited activists. As such\, the paper seeks to explore how critical discussions of network maps can become a ‘prototype for prefiguration’ (Jimenéz 2014) for mapped entities to collectively evaluate and re-invent both their position in a controversy and their methods for obtaining public impact. The experiment is framed by a discussion of the potentials of research collaborations with state-opposed commons and their politics of world-building (Zigon 2017\, Caffentzis & Federici 2014) in the field of controversy mapping. \nMace Ojala \nMaintain-ability. On Life Alongside Computer Software  \nABSTRACT: \nThis paper\, based on my recent thesis (Ojala 2021) examines what lessons about living with technology can we learn from software maintainers who struggle to keep digital infrastructures – at least most of the time – in good running order. The empirical material of the research was collected at four events as programmers convened to discuss breakage. Drawing on STS\, I identify themes which concern programmers as they give testimony of their lives lived alongside computer software. The findings firstly challenge the imaginary of existing software as an stable object\, and secondly nuance and specify the notions of maintenance documented in research literature. Themselves well versed in conceptualizing breakage\, software maintainers exercise considerable agency over the immediate material in their care; code. However in doing so\, they also find themselves having to articulate dynamic\, interdependent and hybrid networks of relations which they are intimately entangled with\, and whose durability depends on the success of their ongoing\, indeterminate reconfiguration. Both the programmers and the software they maintain must continuously navigate risks of breakage\, burnout\, bugs or falling into obsolescence. Inspired by feminist technoscience and in response to so-called broken world thinking (Jackson 2014)\, I theorize the concept of *maintain-ability* and demonstrate its application to foreground the situated\, fragile and often underappreciated capacity to not only give but also receive care which holds together more-than-human worlds at the dawn of the third millennium. \n\nTRACK 10: Ruptures Through Re-politicizing Technified ‘Facts’ on Sustainability  \nChair: Julia Kirch Kirkegaard \nFriday\, June 3\, 9am-10-30am\, 2022 – Nygaard 192 \nSteffen Dalsgaard & Rasmus Tyge Haarløv \nFacts and Politics of Air Pollution in Copenhagen \nABSTRACT: \nThe introduction of Google’s Project Air View (PAV) in Copenhagen has re-invigorated local concerns over air pollution. In contrast to established techno-scientific networks which deploy well-known air pollutants as visible in accordance with European limits\, the PAV has both contributed with fine-grained measurements as ’technified facts’ at street-level and it has amplified the visibility of new and emerging objects of aerial governance such as ultrafine particles and black carbon over which there is yet to form scientific or ’factual’ consensus. The objective of this paper is twofold: Firstly\, we analyze the divergent and heterogeneous identifications and representations of air pollution in Copenhagen. Secondly\, we discuss how groups of concerned citizens in their push against entrenched ways of thinking about air pollution are empowered by the PAV’s fine grained air pollution visualizations in different ways. While some citizens deploy the PAV to (re)politicize pollutants stemming from aviation\, busses\, and smaller vehicles\, others propose novel urban green designs in dialogue with municipal authorities. At the same time corporate and some governmental actors attempt to depoliticize the problem of air pollution by deferring responsibility to established conventions for which air pollution ‘counts’. All in all\, we argue that Google’s contribution to the (re)politicization of air pollution in Copenhagen is a multi-facetted process\, which solidifies existing political environmental contrasts rather than depoliticizing or solving them. \nCaroline Anna Salling \nThe Competition of Heat Pumps  \nABSTRACT: \nThis paper analyses the politics of competition through the policy-incentivised simultaneous installation of large and small heat pumps in Denmark. The heat pumps are prepared for competition with both old heating solutions as well as with each other in order to electrify and decarbonise. As district heating pipes are extended into new areas of towns and cities with the help of large heat pumps\, small heat pumps are in policy and marketing offered as solution mainly to households that not (yet) have access to district heating. I have ethnographically followed district heating engineers in the city of Odense\, Denmark\, in putting heat pumps to work to utilise excess heat from servers within the nearby Facebook datacentre. The excess of hot\, usually lukewarm\, air from industrial machines is raised in temperature and converted into water that can flow in the pipes of the district heating and assist in phasing out fossil fuels. Through three events – a course taught on thermodynamics to employees\, the installation of heat pumps next to the datacentre\, and a lobby meeting – competition is analysed as emerging through the implementation of thermodynamic theory and policy incentivising technology instalment. Experiencing competition is a rather new event for the district heating sector\, which happens in contrast to the arrival of the monopolistically governed Big Tech hyperscale datacentre that draw several benefits from attaching itself to the community form of energy arrangement\, as district heating is often described to be. \nMichael Hockenhull \nInfrastructuring the trouble: Sustainability reports\, facts & expertise  \nABSTRACT: \nDanish and European law requires large corporations operating in Denmark to report on their sustainabillity initiatives. Simultaneously\, financial markets are increasingly interested in investing in companies which perform well in Economic\, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings and similar benchmarks. This has lead to a steady rise in the quantity and importance of sustainability reporting\, a process through which corporations purport to document how they are becoming more sustainable\, decreasing their emmissions and doing good in the world through measurements and the creation of facts. Corporate’ greenwashing’ and CSR spin is no new phenomenon\, and it is thus easy to dismiss such reports as nothing more than branding. However sustainability reporting is simultaneously a practice which companies pour many hours of work into\, procuring data\, developing calculations\, conforming to standards and which many corporate actors genuinely believe represent an attempt at positive action. It thus represents a ‘trouble’ (Haraway\, 2016)\, in the sense that it is a pervasive practice which we may want to disregard as an expression of frivilous corporate non-action\, but nevertheless is a site of practical fact-making. This paper documents how a particular conception of corporate sustainability is being produced in this reporting practice\, through the mobilization of particular laws\, data\, standards and expertises\, before being expressed in reports. The reports are thus material- semiotic actors that hold the potential for systematic study\, interrogation and\, perhaps\, repoliticization. The paper finally outlines how digital and quanti-qualitaitve methods might help facilitate this work. \n\nTRACK 13: Approaching Platform Work  \nChair: Kalle Kusk \nFriday\, June 3\, 11am-12.30pm\, 2022 – Nygaard 184 \nKonstantinos Floros \nHouse cleaning platforms in Denmark: How does the past fit in the imagined future? \nABSTRACT: \nIn recent years\, there has been great concern that contracting remote or localized work through digital labor platforms will shape the future of work and employment relations (e.g.\, Ilsøe & Larsen\, 2020). Despite a lack of agreement within the literature on whether the platform economy has been growing in steady\, fast or exponential ways\, it is rather safe to admit that working through platforms is a consolidated work form in the global labor market\, challenging traditional full-time\, dependent employment. Both the Danish government (Regeringen\, 2019) and EU institutions have stressed the need to cover growing demands for flexible employment through platforms which “create jobs and improve competitiveness” (European Commission\, 2018). This paper combines digital ethnography\, document analysis and interviews with housecleaners and stakeholders to investigate the nexus between flexible and precarious employment in Danish housecleaning platforms. It argues that the composition of the labor force working through these platforms and the everyday practices within platform housecleaning challenge the positive character attributed to the state-supported sociotechnical imaginary of the Danish platform economy and goes further to question whether such an imaginary exists or if it forms part of a broader Danish sociotechnical imaginary of the digitalization of everyday life (cf Jasanoff\, 2015). In line with this year’s DASTS theme the paper claims that digital housecleaning platforms build on the affordances inherent to the platform business model (cost-efficient algorithmic management\, performativity of ratings\, competition etc.) while sustaining “normal” (atypical\, low-paid) employment conditions for the highly gendered and racialized workforce of housecleaners in Denmark. \n\nTRACK 14: Designing the Socio-Technical Design Research & STS  \nChair: Stefanie Eggers & Christian Lepenik \nFriday\, June 3\, 11am-12.30pm\, 2022 – Nygaard 192 \nSimy Kaur Gahoonia & Christopher Gad \nPrototyping the future\, prototyping citizens – the Danish trial of ‘technology comprehension’ in public school \nABSTRACT: \nThis paper explores how the Danish school sector currently performs and reworks students’ engagement with digitalization through prototyping. Public schooling is routinely mobilized by the state as part of the solution to perceived societal problems. By law\, Danish schooling should prepare students for participation\, co-responsibility\, rights\, and duties in a democratic society. Recently\, this includes preparing students for life in an increasingly digitalized democracy. We investigate the Ministry of Children and Education’s trial of ‘technology comprehension’ (2018-2021). This was an experimental effort to determine how to introduce ‘understanding of technology’ into compulsory schooling as a generally formative\, creativeconstructive\, and critical subject matter combining societal reflection\, computer science and design approaches. The curriculum suggested that design approaches\, especially\, were conducive to agency and empowerment in digital democratic life\, making it imperative that students learn to materialize digital artifacts through prototyping. This takes prototyping beyond its traditional use in design and systems development\, making experimentalism central to the conduct of citizenship and social life. We examine prototyping across the trial: the curriculum; the trial’s design; the classroom; and the trial’s evaluation. We argue that prototyping functions as a device for intervention in the complexity and uncertainty of a digital democratic future. In this situation\, the capacity of prototyping is to keep matters of concern both open and closed across scales\, and bind different sites of the trial together. We critically examine the role of the prototype in a democracy in ’perpetual beta’ and the response: educating students to cultivate a design attitude.

SUMMARY:Guest Salon: Christopher M. Kelty
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn March 23rd\, we will host Christopher M. Kelty in the TiP Salon. \nTitle:  The Maze of Nature in Los Angeles \n  \nAbstract: The Labyrinth Project is a collaborative inquiry into \nnature in Los Angeles. Wetlands\, lawns\, rats\, cats\, coyotes\, \nmountain lions interact with human affect\, state power\, indigenous \npolitics\, aesthetic pleasure\, local governmental power and much \nmore. Also\, Satan. Using a mix of participant-observation\, \nstructured interviewing\, collaborative urban anthropology\, \nhistorical and archival digging\, ecological observation\, and \nanalysis of social media content\, we explore the diverse and \nsurprising ways in which Los Angeles is full of different natures— \na veritable trophic cascade of the absurd and surprising. \n  \nBio \nChristopher M. Kelty is professor at the University of \nCalifornia\, Los Angeles. He has appointments in the Institute for \nSociety and Genetics\, the department of Information Studies and \nthe Department of Anthropology. Research interests center on \nsocial theory and technology\, the cultural significance of \ninformation technology; the relationship of participation\, \ntechnology and the public sphere; and more recently\, the role \nthat wild animals play in contemporary urban Los Angeles.  He is \nthe author of two books: The Participant: A Century of \nParticipation in Four Stories (Chicago\, 2019); and Two Bits: The \nCultural Significance of Free Software (Duke University Press\, \n2008).

SUMMARY:Data Times: Immediacies\, Lifecycles\, Forgettings
DESCRIPTION:– Final Conference for the Data as Relation Research Project \nBig data’s time is in the here and now\, which is not to say that big data has no past. Collecting\, archiving and storing data are acts that seek to hold on to elusive happenings of yesterday and yesteryear. Private businesses and public sector institutions are currently intensely busy with understanding and experimenting with data. More data (and more diverse data sources) make their ways into meeting rooms in the hope that societal or company futures can somehow be predicted. \nFor four years members of the Data as Relation project have conducted research into the new roles given to data in Danish public sector institutions and related organizations. Tax administrations\, NGOs\, and municipalities expend a considerable amount of energy and effort ensuring that data\, can be put to good use in the future. During this conference\, we hope to engage participants in discussion and develop a better understanding of different ways of organizing temporalities in data. \nJoin to hear the following keynote speakers: \nKatherine Verdery (City University of New York)\nHannah Knox (UCL)\nKirsten Astrup and Maria Bordorff (visual artists) \nFind more information and the full program here.

SUMMARY:Digital Trust in Denmark - A workshop on trust and mistrust towards public institutions in the world's 'most digitized country'
DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to debate the hypothesis that Denmark’s increasing digitalization is facilitated by the citizen’s trust in society and the welfare state. \nTo discuss this question\, the organizers wish to bring together a group of researchers and practitioners across universities\, the public and private sectors\, media and organizations. The intention is to create an open and lively discussion where a number of different and perhaps contradictory answers to the workshop’s stated hypothesis – that digitalization in Denmark is based on a special relationship of trust between the state and the citizen – will be gathered. \nThe workshop is organised in cooperation between TiP’s research group Data as Relation\, IT University and SODAS – Center for Social Data Science at Copenhagen University.  \nThe event will take place in Danish. The registration is closed.

SUMMARY:TiP Talk by Airi Lampinen: Alternative Ways of Organizing Work
DESCRIPTION:IT University of Copenhagen\, 30. October 2019\, 12.00—14.00\nRued Langgaards Vej 7\, Copenhagen\nRoom: Aud. 4 \nThe Technologies in Practice (TiP) research group at ITU is happy to present Senior Lecturer in Human–Computer Interaction and Docent in Social Psychology Airi Lampinen from Stockholm University/University of Helsinki\, as our next speaker in our TiP Talk Speaker Series. \nAbstract\nAiri Lampinen’s talk will highlight grassroots efforts to create alternative ways of organizing work. The focus will be on social and economic arrangements that are not geared solely at economic value and may not aim at scaling up. The talk draws on empirical work on cooperatives as well as the self-organizing network Hoffice that brings together people who wish to cocreate temporary workplaces. What can we learn from such – sometimes humble and halting – efforts at creating new social and economic models? In promoting a focus on local meshing (Light & Clodagh\, 2019)\, instead of the kind of scaling familiar from global\, for-profit initiatives\, the talk invites us to expand our thinking into what future economies can look like and the part technologies may play in them. \nBio\nAiri Lampinen is an Associate Senior Lecturer in Human–Computer Interaction at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) at Stockholm University\, Sweden\, and a Docent in Social Psychology in the Faculty of Social Sciences at University of Helsinki\, Finland. The main focus of her current research is on interpersonal and economic encounters in the context of networked platforms. She is the Principal Investigator on the projects Economic Encounters for Human–Computer Interaction and Algorithmic Systems\, Power\, and Interaction. Moreover\, she is actively involved in the COST Action From Sharing to Caring: Examining Socio-Technical Aspects of the Collaborative Economy (http://sharingandcaring.eu) where she co-leads the working group on collaborative economy practices and communities. \nTiP Talks – a series of talks\nThe Technologies in Practice research group at the ITU is the organizer behind this series of talks\, “TiP Talks”\, where we have invited academically distinguished speakers to ITU to share their research\, which we consider as being of inspiration for academics who are interested in qualitative studies of technologically mediated practices in organizations. \nThis talk is open for everyone\, but the content is intended for an academic audience as it builds upon previous research.\nNo registration needed.

SUMMARY:Research Talk by Dr. Morgan Ames – The Charisma Machine: The Life\, Death and Legacy of One Laptop Per Child
DESCRIPTION:IT University of Copenhagen\, 24. October 2019\, 11.00 am\nRued Langgaards Vej 7\, Copenhagen\nRoom: Aud. 2 \nDrawing on her new book\, The Charisma Machine\, Ames chronicles the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why — despite its failures — the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt” education and development. \nAnnounced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte\, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South with a small\, sturdy\, and cheap laptop computer\, powered by a hand crank. In reality\, the project fell short in many ways\, starting with the hand crank\, which never materialized. Yet the project remained charismatic to many who were enchanted by its claims of access to educational opportunities previously out of reach. Behind its promises\, OLPC\, like many technology projects that make similarly grand claims\, had a fundamentally flawed vision of who the computer was made for and what role technology should play in learning. \nDrawing on a seven-month study of a model OLPC project in Paraguay\, this talk will discuss how the laptops were not only frustrating to use\, easy to break\, and hard to repair\, they were designed for “technically precocious boys” — idealized younger versions of the developers themselves — rather than the diverse range of children who might actually use them. Reaching fifty years into the past and across the globe\, Ames offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development. \nBio\nMorgan Ames is an assistant adjunct professor in the School of Information and interim associate director of research for the Center for Science\, Technology\, Medicine and Society at the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she teaches in Data Science and administers the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies. She is also affiliated with the Algorithmic Fairness and Opacity Working Group\, the Center for Science\, Technology\, Society and Policy\, and the Berkeley Institute of Data Science. She researches the ideological origins of inequality in the technology world\, with a focus on utopianism\, childhood\, and learning. The questions that drive her current projects concern the ways in which young people construct their identities with computers\, and how computers (and the technology design practices that produced them) shape the identities they construct. \nNo registration needed.

SUMMARY:PhD Defence by Jannick Schou: “Remaking Citizenship – Welfare Reform and Public Sector Digitalization”
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nWhen\nDecember 5\, 2018 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM \nWhere\nIT University of Copenhagen\, Rued Langgaards Vej 7\, 2300 Copenhagen S\nFind room number here. \n\nExamination Committee:\nAssociate Professor\, Head of Department\, Lone Malmborg\, IT University of Copenhagen\, Denmark (Chairman)\nProfessor Katarina Lindblad-Gidlund\, Mid Sweden University\, Sweden\nProfessor Thomas P. Boje\, Roskilde University\, Denmark \nSupervisor:\nAssociate Professor Morten Hjelholt \nAbstract of Jannick Schou’s PhD thesis\n\n“Since the early 1990s\, advanced capitalist states have increasingly turned to digitalization as a new means of welfare state restructuring and public sector reform. Often narrated as a simple\, technical solution to complex political and institutional problems\, digitalization has risen to the top of policy agendas in Europe and beyond. Yet\, so far\, little research has been conducted on the impact and consequences of this political instrument for welfare institutions and citizenship. Not least due to an intellectual division of labor\, research on digitalization has largely tended to work in isolation from citizenship studies and research on the welfare state. \n\n\n\nThis dissertation sets out to remedy this gap by presenting a study of welfare reform and public sector digitalization from a citizenship perspective. Doing so\, it seeks to unpack how and in what ways citizenship has been remade in the transition to an increasingly digitalized public sector. The dissertation attends to these questions through a case study of digitalization reforms in Denmark\, a country that has been continuously promoted as an international frontrunner in terms of digitalizing its public sector. Through five separate research publications\, the dissertation examines the remaking of citizenship as a simul- taneously political\, institutional and technological set of processes stretching back to the early 1990s. The publications investigate the discursive construction of citizenship in national policies\, the local governance of citizens in municipal citizen service centers and the exclusionary patterns that are currently emerging in and around contemporary ideals of citizenship. \nIn doing so\, the dissertation documents a series of interlinked political\, institutional and structural shifts connected to digitalization reforms. First\, it shows how new normative expectations have been constructed by policymakers as to the proper forms of citizen- subjectivity. Framing citizens as inherently active\, self-sufficient and responsible beings\, policymakers have increasingly come to maintain that all citizens are or must be digital and self-serving. Second\, it demonstrates how these political discourses have paved the way for new legal mechanisms\, technological infrastructures and institutional configurations. Zooming in on municipal citizen service centers\, the dissertation foregrounds how new discipli- nary practices are coming into being\, premised on transforming citizens that do not conform to the dominant normative expectations. Third\, it details how these processes have served to uphold and produce both new and old patterns of exclusion. Most substantially\, the dissertation argues that citizens already at the fringes of the welfare state are being further excluded with the turn towards increasingly coercive forms of policy implementation. Taken together\, the dissertation argues that these different forces must be grasped as part of a layered political strategy seeking to significantly alter the relation between the Danish state and its citizens. \nBy demonstrating these changes\, the dissertation contributes with original knowledge to existing research on citizenship and welfare state reform. It does so\, empirically\, by showcasing the concrete changes taking place to citizenship in an era of intensified digitalization and\, theoretically\, by pushing for the integration of several areas of research that have so far remained disparate. The dissertation thus gives a forceful argument for why scholars of citizenship and welfare restructuring can only ignore digitalization at their own peril.”
