Tingstendebatten

 

© Mikael Nilsson 2013

Jag disputerade 2007 på en avhandling om svenskt militärtekniskt samarbete med USA vid Avdelningen för teknik- och vetenskaps-historia på KTH. Formellt är jag Fil. dr i teknikhistoria, men jag betecknar mig själv som enbart ’‘historiker’’. Min forskning har behandlat allt från diplomatisk historia och teknikhistoria till propaganda.
