Expertise
My research focuses on the intersection between technology and human rights. I have worked on “The digital welfare state – the case of Denmark” (ICS, 2021) “Human rights in the age of platforms” (MIT Press 2019); how citizens are exposed and privacy challenged in a Danish / European context (“Eksponeret”, Gads Forlag 2018); the way specific technology discourses inform regulation (“Framing the Net”, Edward Elgar 2013); and on “Human rights in the global information society” (MIT Press, 2006). I am particularly interested in issues related to agency, power and digitalisation, the commercialized public sphere, and technology discourses and regulation.
