Faglige interesser
Mine forsknings- og undervisningsinteresser ligger innenfor kunnskapsoverføring, arbeidserfaringer, lærlingingeordninger, håndværk og materiell kultur med et regionalt fokus på Kina og Taiwan.
Mitt doktorgradsarbeid (Universitetet i Cambridge, 2007) fokuserte på konsekvensene av Kinas moderniseringsprosjekt- kollektivisering og industrialisering på 1950-tallet og privatisering fra 1980 årene - for nasjonens håndtverksvirksomhet, og for lærlingeordninger og overføring av håndverksfaglig kunnskap. Analysen var basert på feltarbeid blant håndtverkere i Jiangsu-provinsen, og en lærlingperiode som del av feltmetoden.
Senere har jeg gjennomført feltarbeid i Taiwans hovedsenter for keramisk produksjon. Yingge, for å undersøke transformasjonen av keramikkvirksomheten som resultat av den indistrielle konkurransen med Kina og for å forstå den stigende interessen for håndtverk og produksjonsmessig kulturarv. Som en del av forskningen har jeg fokusert på læring og yrkesutdanning, forståelser av både håndverkeridentitet og nasjonal identitet i endring og samspillet mellom verbal og ikke-verbal kommunikasjon i læring av håndtverk.
