I am a Senior Lecturer in Media and Communication.

My research is centered on journalism, media discourse and environmental communication. Currently I am working on a commissioed research project funded by Svensk Däckåtervinning AB, about artificial turfs as an environmental issue in the news media. Apart from that, I also reasearch about how Swedish journalism constructs the ongoing international renegotiation of cannabis, with the overall aim of contributing to the understanding of the workings of journalism vis-à-vis hegemonic values that are in crisis.

Besides my research, I currenty teach in the course Sociala medier i teori och praktik.
