TANTlab - The Techno-Antropology Research Group

We contribute to the interdisciplinary field of STS with investigations of public controversies around new science and technology, with experiments that engage stakeholders in design interventions and datafication of their matters of concern, and with anthropological reflections on the ongoing reconfiguration of our socio-technical world in the anthropocene era.
Part of this work is to develop new digital and computational methods. Our goal is to create data navigation in ways that support qualitative research interests. Our version of data science is thus both anthropological (in the sense that it pays close attention to the socio-technical situations of in which data is constructed and aims to retool conventional ethnographic methods) and participatory (in the sense that it invites users into processes of harvesting, curating, and visualizing big social data.

The Techno-Anthropology Lab
The research group hosts the Techno-Anthropology Lab (TANTLab) at AAU-CPH - an award-winning digital methods lab with a strong interdisciplinary background in science and technology studies. Many of the group’s research projects are conducted in collaboration with the lab. The Lab offers a hands-on workspace to develop innovative approaches to the study of science and technology in society.
