I am writing my dissertation within the research project Patents as Scientific Information 1895-2020 lead by Professor Eva Hemmungs Wirtén.
My dissertation project examines the representation of the Swedish Patent and Registration Office in the 1940s. To celebrate 50 years as a government agency in 1941, the Swedish Patent and Registration Office produced the exhibition Idea - Patent - Product at the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm. Through a microhistorical study, I investigate how the office constructed its narrative and history in collaboration with the museum.
