AIAS FORMER FELLOW
Current position: Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, Lund University, Sweden
During her Riksbankens Jubileumsfond Fellowship, Alison Gerber will be working on the project ‘Show & Tell: Representation, visualization, and evidence across epistemic cultures’
Her project is entitled ‘Show & Tell: Representation, visualization, and evidence across epistemic cultures.’ In it, she will explore what happens when we encounter new kinds of images as evidence, such as brain scans and botanical illustrations. In her project, she is concerned with the specific features that make new kinds of images more (or less) credible for different audiences, as technologies, methods, images and people move between scientific, practitioner and professional communities.
