Present position

Researcher in Economic History

Research Interests

I am mainly interested in the rhetorical use of concepts in Swedish research policy, in particular how concepts have been used in struggles of control over research funding 1970-2000. In my dissertation (Eklund 2007) I focused on the concept of innovation system, in my current research project I study the concept of sectoral research.

Teaching experiences

I have taught on the courses Political Economy: States, Interests and Markets (7.5 p), STS: Economic Development in Time and Space (15 p) and ERASMUS: Sweden's Economic and Social Development in the 19th and 20th Centuries (7.5 p), Essay Writing (7.5 p), Research Paper in Economic History (15 p). I have also supervised two BA theses.

Research Projects

2009 – 2013, The Freedom and Utility of Research: Sectoral Research as a Contested Concept in Swedish Politics. (Jan Wallander and Tom Hedelius Foundation, Tore Browaldh Foundation).
