Andrew Jamison
Professor, Technology,
Environment and Society
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

and some recent
powerpoint presentations

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.
