Faglige interesser
Jeg leder for tiden et forskningsprosjekt med tittelen Forms of Ethics, Shapes of Finance: Ethnographic Explorations of the Limits of Contemporary Capital. Prosjektet er finansiert av Norges Forskningsråds SAMKUL-program, og utforsker hvordan etiske begreper og argumenter benyttes for å forme den internasjonale kapitalflyten til Statens Pensjonsfond Utland (bedre kjent som oljefondet), samt hvordan finansielle fenomener innebærer etiske betraktninger.
Mine tidligere forskningsprosjekter har i hovedsak foregått i Tanzania, der jeg har utført antropologisk feltarbeid i mange år på landsbygda i Kilimanjaro-området, samt i urbane strøk i Dar es Salaam og omkringliggende områder. Dette har resultert i publikasjoner over et mangfold av ulike temaer, som slektskap, hekseri, ritualer, bytteformer, kunnskap og komparasjon.
