Sammendrag

I am a medical humanities scholar specializing in the social epistemology of medical knowledge. My research investigates how medical knowledge is generated, utilized, documented, evaluated, and disseminated throughout society. I have published extensively on the intellectual foundations of evidence-based medicine, examining what constitutes valid medical knowledge in various situations and periods. I am particularly interested in medical evidence as a source of trust and mistrust during crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, I am intrigued by the concept of "knowledge translation" in medicine and how it can be expanded by drawing on translation theories from other fields, such as translation studies. My research also explores power and governance issues in global health, emphasizing how health ideas and the right to healthcare are mediated and framed through language and concepts. Specifically, I investigate how key global health concepts—such as sustainability, resilience, partnership, empowerment, and well-being—are understood and employed in different languages and population groups. I examine how these concepts are co-opted and used for various political purposes, and how they are challenged by activists and grassroots organizations, including those in the Global South. Through my research, I seek to contribute to ongoing discussions about the social, political, and ethical dimensions of medicine and global health. My work aims to promote more equitable and sustainable approaches to healthcare and development globally while also emphasizing the role of language and concepts in shaping health policies and practices.
