Klara Müller

I am a PhD candidate at the Division for History of Science, Technology and Environment since 2021, as a part of the project Making Universities Matter.

I study how notions about what good quality research in the humanities is have changed since the 1980s, until 2020. The project can be placed at the intersection between fields such as research policy, STS and the history of humanities. I make use of a combination of methodological approaches such as archival research, conceptual history and oral history.

I have a background in the History of Science and Ideas as well as Media History, with degrees from Uppsala University (2020) and Lund University (2018). I have also studied archival science and literary studies. Thorugh these fields, I have been able to unite my interest for the historical changes of conditions for knowledge production and circulation. This has also been visible in my previous work which for example concerned how medical knowledge has been affected by new technologies and changing bureaucratic practices.
