Tone Druglitrø
Academic interests
My research involves, 1. the development of material and ethical infrastructures of experimental medicine; 2. the role of medical science in social and cultural developments; 3. the ways in which science and technology engage with a politics of life across species; and more recently, 4. the ways in which public health politics of viral diseases are communicated and framed. I have studied these processes in various topics, in particular by exploring the historical development and standardization of laboratory animal science, the development of veterinary profession and expertise, social resistance to experimental medicine, the historical development of animal welfare politics, and public health communication in the digital era.
My research draws upon a combination of resources from science and technology studies, actor-network-theory, feminist technoscience, anthropology, and the history of science and technology.
