About
Maja Nordtug is a researcher whose work bridges the sociology of technology and education, with a particular focus on how digital tools are integrated into social and institutional life. Her key research areas include domestication theory, telepresence robotics, and the social implications of technology in educational settings. Nordtug’s major contribution is the development of the concept of “multi-site domestication,” which expands traditional domestication theory—typically focused on the household—to account for how technologies are tamed across multiple institutional settings, such as schools and healthcare. Her most-cited paper, “Multi-site domestication: taming technologies across multiple institutional settings” (2023, 17 citations), has been influential in reshaping how scholars understand technology adoption beyond the home. In another notable work, “The social robot? Analyzing whether and how the telepresence robot AV1 affords socialization” (2023, 7 citations), she critically examines the extent to which telepresence robots can foster social inclusion for students unable to attend school in person. Nordtug’s research is highly relevant for students and researchers interested in the intersection of technology, social interaction, and institutional change, offering fresh perspectives on how digital tools are negotiated in real-world contexts.
