Lines of Inquiry are recurring strands of thought that develop over time. Here you will find articles centred on the same questions, problems or clusters of ideas, which together build a deeper understanding of a phenomenon, often across multiple fields of analysis.
Unlike individual articles, Lines of Inquiry are not finished arguments or completed analyses. They are ongoing intellectual projects: recurring patterns, questions that deepen over time, and lines of reasoning that gradually emerge through writing.
Some lines of inquiry eventually develop into books, lectures or more comprehensive analytical works. Others remain open-ended. What they share is the ambition to follow a question further than any single article allows.
Automated Responsibility — When Systems Replace Judgement
Articles exploring digitalisation, artificial intelligence and technological systems as forms of governance. This line of inquiry examines how responsibility is shifted onto algorithms, processes and supply chains, and how technology is used both to increase efficiency and to dissolve human accountability. It sits at the intersection of technology, governance and ethics.
Healthcare on the System’s Terms — Knowledge, Judgement and Responsibility in Modern Healthcare
Analyses of Swedish healthcare as a socio-technical system. This line of inquiry explores how governance structures, the allocation of responsibility, professional hierarchies and administrative logics affect both patients and healthcare professionals. The focus is as much on systemic dynamics as on lived experience, and on what happens when responsibility becomes fragmented within complex structures.
The Infantilised Society
A diagnosis of contemporary society in which responsibility, maturity and judgement are gradually displaced by simplification, moral panic and infantilising norms. This line of inquiry examines cultural, political and institutional practices that treat citizens as incapable of exercising their own judgement, and the consequences this has for democracy, agency and civic life.
Diagnosis: A Broken Healthcare System — The Body as an Administrative and Institutional Challenge
This line of inquiry explores how embodied experience—pain, fatigue, illness and disability—is handled within systems designed around standardisation, measurability and evidence. The focus is on the encounter between lived experience and institutional rationality, and on what is lost when the body is reduced to a case file.
