The technology multiple
In this article, we explore how a very simple telepresence robot avatar becomes a technology multiple when interacting with humans. Based on Mol’s notion of the body multiple, we explore how AV1 – a social telepresence robot avatar designed to act as a substitute in schools for homebound students – becomes a technology multiple. The analysis is based on 105 interviews, including interviews with homebound students and kindergarteners in Norway usi…

Multi-site domestication
This article advances domestication theory by developing the concept of multi-site domestication.Whereas domestication theory traditionally focuses on the 'taming' of technologies at a single site (most often, the household), the concept of multi-site domestication captures how technologies often require different taming processes across multiple institutional settings.In this article, we apply the concept to understand the multi-site domesticati…
Ethics Beyond the Checklist
In this article, we aim to contribute to current discussions about ethical conduct in qualitative research practice.

The social robot? Analyzing whether and how the telepresence robot AV1 affords socialization
Telepresence robots are increasingly used in schools as a way of including students who are unable to be physically present in the classroom with other students. The use of such robots is intended not just to help students follow their education but also to serve a social purpose. However, the extent to which the robots actually afford socializing needs to be explored further. This article analyzes how, to what extent, for whom, and under what ci…
How Perceptions of Responsibility and Affective Consequences Influence Parents' Digital Media Engagement in Relation to Human Papillomavirus Vaccination
Individuals are expected to be responsible for their own health and that of their families-and act accordingly. Yet, being in a position of responsibility might be undesirable for individuals either unable or reluctant to comply with the expectations this responsibility entails. In this article, I explore how parents experience the process of engaging responsibly with digital media in relation to the question of human papillomavirus vaccination. …
Platformed Bodies
In "Th e politics of platforms", Tarleton Gillespie (2010) identifi es how social media companies, during the 2000s, pivoted toward marketing their products as "platforms".He pinpointed what has now become common knowledge: that platformisation presents unique opportunities for businesses to create, control, and profi t from markets, while simultaneously, in their consumer-facing communication, off ering unique experiences of data-driven social c…

In this article, I introduce and evaluate the use of messy map interviews. Based on messy situational maps, messy map interviews is an interview tool I have developed to facilitate understanding of elements pertinent to interviewees. I present and evaluate how the tool contributes to interview studies that aim to describe and analyse elements pertinent to interviewees. This is done by use of an exemplar of working with messy map interviews, explo…
Oralizations in e-mail consultations

One more recent genre is the doctor–patient e-mail consultation. Research has found that while patients like e-mail consultations, they also miss facial expressions, eye contact, etc. In this study, …
