About
Christian Sørhaug is Associate Professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, Faculty of Social Science. I am a social anthropologist, and I wrote my PhD concerning material culture and global connections among the indigenous Warao of the Orinoco Delta, Venezuela. Currently I am doing research on various parts of the welfare state like lifestyle migration, elderly care and voluntary work, the impact of the pandemic on everyday life, and how the digitalization of state bureaucracies influences relations between state and citizens. My theoretical interests are assemblage theory, science and technology studies, infrastructure studies and material culture.
