Now in April I am running for reelection as the representative for temporarily employed education and research staff in the board of the University of Stavanger (which I have been since the autumn of 2012). Here is my electoral program:
a) Morten Tønnessen
b) 37 years old
c)
Associate Professor in philosophy at Department of Health Studies, Faculty of
Social Sciences
d)
Background: Tønnessen has been the representative for temporarily employed
education and research staff in the UiS board since the autumn of 2012. He
defended his doctoral degree in semiotics/philosophy – with a case study on
Norwegian wolf management – in 2011 at the University of Tartu (Estonia).
Tønnessen has held several NGO positions (he is currently Chair of Minding
Animals Norway (http://mindinganimals.no/), secretary of Nordic Association
for Semiotic Studies (http://nordicsemiotics.org/) and board member of International
Society of Code Biology (http://www.codebiology.org/)), and he works interdisciplinarily.
In capacity of being a philosopher/semiotician who has been doing research on
biological/ecological phenomena for some ten years, he has connections to the
humanities as well as to social science and natural science. Academic blog: http://UtopianRealism.blogspot.com.
e) Morten
Tønnessen will keep working for:
- Increased internationalisation
(enhanced research mobility included)
- Higher aspirations for research
(publication points, citations, participation at international conferences
etc.)
- Good conditions for
interdisciplinary research and educational activities
- A green university
