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:Welfare After Digitalization: Digitalizing Welfare\, Outsourcing Responsibility
DESCRIPTION:By bringing together decision-makers\, interest organizations\, NGO’s\, citizens\, journalists\, educators\, and researchers the conference Welfare after Digitalization will try to take stock of digitalization’s effect on the public sector.\nNumerous TiP-sters will participate in the Welfare After Digitalization conference this week. The goal of the conference is to better understand what welfare has become after the digitalization of four key sectors: education\, energy\, health care\, and law enforcement. The conference is unique in that we strive for dialogue and joint presentations to share knowledge across practices and worlds that are often separate. \n  \nAs the organizers\, Brit Ross Winthereik and Vasilis Galis put it: \nDuring the conference we will take stock of digitalization efforts in the public sector using responsibility as our lens for understanding and intervening in current efforts. Bringing together decision-makers\, interest organizations\, NGOs\, citizens\, journalists\, educators\, and researchers the conference will form a meeting place for exchange of insights and opinions regarding the disparate intentions and varied effects of digitalizing welfare. The goal is to better understand what welfare has become now\, after the digitalization of key functions have taken place. In particular\, we are interested in the digitalization of four key welfare sectors: education\, energy\, health care\, and law enforcement\, but presentations of studies or interventions beyond these sectors are welcome\, too (e.g. news media\, child care\, protection of labor rights\, migration and asylum management etc.). \nWe propose to focus on the outsourcing of responsibility to address a salient feature following public sector digitalization: Public sector digitalization in most cases involves private businesses\, either as in-house consultants or as owners of a platform. This differs from traditional forms of Public-Private-Partnerships as an important element is to delegate responsibility to new actors\, including citizens. This tendency raises questions about ownership\, both with respect to the provided expertise or technical infrastructure as well as in relation to the data that is created\, transported\, and stored. What happens when the responsibility for welfare services is outsourced? We invite case studies\, historical perspectives\, first-hand experiences\, ethnographies\, political manifestos\, digital methods and more. \n We invite presenters to share research\, experiences\, and politics individually or as a group. This way we wish to make space for conversations and exchange insights between people who occupy very different positions in relation to digitalization programs and their effects. \n  \nThe conference is supported by the Velux Fonden

SUMMARY:PhD Defense: Andy Lautrup
DESCRIPTION:Andy Lautrup will defend their PhD\, Generation Carbon: Loss\, goodness and youth climate activism in Norway’s oil capital\, on December 19th at 13:00 in Auditorium 0. \nExamination committee:Associate Professor\, James Maguire\, IT-University of Copenhagen (Chair)Associate Professor\, Gökçe Günel\, Rice UniversityProfessor\, Simone Abram\, Durham University \nSupervisor:Professor\, Steffen Dalsgaard\, IT-University of Copenhagen \nCo-Supervisor:Associate Professor\, Rachel Douglas-Jones\, IT-University of Copenhagen \nAbstact \nThe dissertation explores generational dynamics of youth climate activism in Norway’s oil capital\, Stavanger\, and the local and situated dilemmas of phasing out fossil fuels in the context of a welfare society that understands itself as enabled by technologies of oil and gas production. Because carbon emissions from oil and gas and their impact on the global climate are one of the most important defining challenges of this generation of young people – in Lautrup’s own opinion and in that of the young Norwegians they met – Lautrup names them ‘Generation Carbon’. In the dissertation\, Lautrup focuses on climate activism as one response to the predicament of Stavanger’s Generation Carbon.  \nDrawing on nine months of in-person and online ethnographic fieldwork\, Lautrup demonstrates that climate change in Stavanger is causing experiences of loss\, demands for technoscientific facticity\, as well as shifts and changes in what is regarded as ‘doing good’. Out of the combination of experiences of loss and attempts to realign with a tradition of Norwegian goodness – encompassing the universalist welfare state\, environmentalism and peacebuilding – grows an activism with a particular window of opportunity to act on the experiences of loss through activism. \nThe central argument Lautrup puts forward in the dissertation is that the oil-saturated social environment of Stavanger produces an activism that works from the theory of change that the future can be refigured through caring for social relations in the present despite radical disagreement. Refiguration is a pivotal way of bringing an undesired future of climate catastrophe back into a shape where it is no longer in jeopardy. This relationship between activism and the future grows out of an implicated and caring activism that acknowledges and works from the premise that it is relationally intertwined with and presently benefits from that which it aims to change.

SUMMARY:Cæcilie Sloth Laursen: Midway
DESCRIPTION:On December 12th\, Cæcilie Sloth  Laursen will hold her midway seminar! \n  \nShe will be joined by the committee Marisa Cohn\, Henriette Langstrup\, and Morten Hjelholt. \nAbout the PhD project:The project investigates the implementation of video consultations in Danish hospital outpatient clinics during the Covid-19 pandemic (and beyond). In order to follow the use and adaptation of video consultations\, I have conducted multisided ethnographic fieldwork in two Copenhagen-based hospitals and in patients’ homes. I have explored the perceived benefits of the solution while also being attentive to the challenges clinicians and patients face. Through a theoretical lens of infrastructure\, I aim to shed light on the often hidden infrastructural dependencies and infrastructural work that goes into making video consultations work as a consultation form at Danish hospitals\, as well as how the infrastructure of the consultation itself changes when the clinic\, waiting room\, etc. are removed from the patient experience\, and the home or workplace are enrolled in the infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Hasib Ahsan’s PhD Defense
DESCRIPTION:The Role of Human Infrastructure: Investigating Digital Interventions in the Global South \nBased on fieldwork in five distinct projects\, this thesis investigates the role of human infrastructure in the context of digital interventions in the Global South. The settings are an agriculture voice message service for smallholder farmers in Bangladesh\, a climate and agricultural information service associated with weather forecast using phone text messages (SMS) also for farmers in Bangladesh\, a for-profit service for farmers in Cambodia using digital applications\, a digital mental health intervention for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and a study of the reordering of everyday life through digital technologies in Bangladesh during the Covid- 19 pandemic. The focus on human infrastructure is inspired by research within Information & Communication Technologies and Development (ICTD)\, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)\, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)\, Science Technology Studies (STS) and more. \nThe findings contribute to research and practice by nuancing the understanding of the role of human infrastructure in digital interventions in the Global South. That is\, Hasib empirically and conceptually extends the discussion by pointing out how human infrastructure may be ‘configured\,’ ‘trained’ and ‘unravelled’ in the context of digital interventions in the Global South. The thesis shows how one cannot take the human infrastructure for granted in the sense that it has to be both configured and trained and hence is not simply somehow there. Further\, the thesis discusses how a human infrastructure may unravel in the context of digital interventions in the Global South and the consequences this may have for continued service provision. These contributions may be useful for both researchers and practitioners as it adds to our understanding of the key role of human infrastructure in digital interventions in the Global South and elsewhere. \nNote: After the defense there will be a reception on the first floor of the atrium by the main entrance.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Reclaiming Technology
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce the publication of our collective work as a book. Join us in celebrating the release of it with a reception at the corridor of 3D at the IT University of Copenhagen\, on June 14th from 15.00-17.00. During the first half hour\, a few words will be said about the book and the work behind it\, followed by informal chatter\, drinks and light snacks. Do come along! \nAbout Reclaiming Technology: \nThe book is written as general audience-oriented academic writing and comprises numerous short contributions from both colleagues and close affiliates of TiP. The aim of it is to inspire ways of thinking\, making\, and intervening in technology worlds by opening up the conditions of technological possibility through various writing styles rooted in ethnographic and STS approaches. The book consists of thirty-six short essays of circa 500 words each. \nEditors James Maguire and Brit Ross Winthereik asked their fellow writers to problematize some aspects of their research through a form of writing not restricted to the traditional repertoires of academic publishing. There are also those that are generated through the concerns and impulses that technology gives rise to (art\, wonder\, privacy\, responsibility\, aesthetics\, evidence\, monsters\, bureaucracy\, state\, and collaboration). And finally\, some are more conceptual in nature but are inspired by a research theme (network\, optics\, edge\, collectivities\, speculation\, space\, maintenance\, movement\, and brain-body). \nThe book addresses anyone curious towards how technology impacts society in general\, including\, anthropology and STS scholars\, students interested in methods and writing\, and lastly practitioners looking for conceptual resources to think about technology differently.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Human-Nature Encounters in Urban Space
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Megan Lynn Maurer \nSeminar description\nIn this era of overlapping crises\, the future of cities remains uncertain. Urban nature-based solutions (NbS) and green infrastructure (GI) have emerged as key strategies to address climate change\, biodiversity loss\, public health concerns\, and rapid urbanization. Both approaches emphasize increasing the presence of nature in urban environments. \nHistorically\, cities have been spaces where boundaries are both challenged and reinforced—whether social boundaries related to race\, class\, and gender\, or conceptual divisions between humans and nature. NbS and GI offer opportunities to rethink these boundaries by exploring new ways for humans and more-than-human life to coexist\, while also questioning the spatial and conceptual separations between people and nature. \nHowever\, as urban nature becomes more visible and widespread\, it can also intensify conflicts over space and reinforce boundary-making. In particular\, distinctions between “good” nature—manageable and useful to humans—and “bad” nature—unruly and resistant—become more pronounced. \nIn this seminar\, Megan Lynn Maurer examines this tension through examples from New York City\, focusing on street tree maintenance and perceptions of ecosystem disservices. She explores how everyday experiences become sites where human-nature boundaries are negotiated and reshaped\, even as urban planning discourses continue to draw lines between desirable and undesirable forms of nature. Maurer concludes by reflecting on the gap between how urban NbS and GI are framed in policy and planning\, and how residents actually perceive and interact with urban nature—offering insights into how these relationships and meanings might evolve. \nThe presentation will be followed by a discussion with the Öresund Comparative Borderland Research Group\, and questions from participants. The seminar is held on Zoom and open to the public. Read more about the event here. \nMegan Lynn Maurer\nMegan Lynn Maurer is an Assistant Professor of Digital Green Transitions at the IT University of Copenhagen. Trained as a cultural anthropologist\, her research explores the relationships between people and plants in urban environments. She works across disciplines to examine how plant life in cities shapes human experiences of nature\, everyday life\, and future imaginaries in the context of climate crisis. \nAbout the series\nThe seminar series Border Allies\, Boundary Alliances is arranged by the Öresund Comparative Borderland Research Group\, funded by CEMES.
