I am a contemporary historian focused on the intersection of Norwegian aid policy, civil society, and commercial energy interests in the Global South. My doctoral project, Electric Aspirations, Offshore Ambitions: The Tanzanian-Norwegian Energy Relationship, 1970-2020, takes an in-depth look at how economic, civil society, and state interests coalesced to shape the evolution of Tanzania's energy sector from 1970 to 2020.
