Current research

I have just finished a contribution to a volume on Nordic Pragmatism on "Why's, How's, and What's - why What's Matter" which is soon to appear in press. In turning to some very basic questions common to inquiries across the sciences, I have a chance to actualize Peirce's  logic of inquiry and pragmatist concerns to some present issues in social theory and social inquiry. I plan to expand this text into a broader essay.

I have also been engaged as a faculty opponent on a recent ph.d. disseration at Oslo University dealing with approaches to the sociology of law, and an attempt to re-actualize the classic German tradition to the sociology of law from Weber to Habermas/Luhmann. A review text is in press and will soon appear in the Nordic Journal Retfærd.

Primary fields of research

sociology of knowledge and of science, general social theory, philosophy of social science, sociology of law
