Let me introduce myself:

 

I am an American by birth, who has lived in Sweden since 1970, trying to keep alive something of the spirit of the sixties as a sometime activist and a fulltime academic.

I have been teaching at Aalborg since 1996, primarily in courses on "technology, humanity and society" that we give for first year science and engineering students.

 

Ever since my undergraduate days in the US in the late 1960s, I have been interested in the politics of science and technology, and the making of knowledge in social movements. I have been especially interested through the years in the making of "green knowledge", that is the ideas and practical experiments that take place in the world of environmental politics.

 

In my writings I have combined history, sociology and cultural theory to explore the relations between science, technology and the broader society. Most recently I have written, together with Mikael Hård, an introductory survey, Hubris and Hybrids. A Cultural History of Technology and Science, published by Routledge in New York.

 

A listing of my main academic writings, with links to publishers and reviews of my books, can be found by clicking publications.

 

You can download selected articles and research reports by clicking articles and some recent powerpoint presentations at lectures.

The link to journalism takes you to "Lighter Stuff", or more popular writings, including contributions to EASST Review, as well as English versions of some of the pieces that I published between 2002 and 2006 in the Swedish newspaper, Sydsvenska Dagbladet.

Clicking to Songs will take you to "Another side of Andrew Jamison" where you can listen to songs that I have written and been performing recently to combine the academic life with my own personal kind of political activism.
