Topics like methodology, ICTs, materialities and gender are long standing research interest in my work. I am concerned with knowledge production, especially scientific knowledge. Knowledge as a collective transdisciplinary project, the usefulness of thinking knowledge in the plural as knowledges, the strength of partial perspectives, material heterogeneity and the importance of situating our knowledge. Biologist and feminist science theorist Donna Haraway has been a central source of inspiration for many years. Her concepts of the material semiotics and " companion species" are good tools for exploring lived life, human as well as non-human lives.
