I am professor at the Department of communication and media. I teach and supervise students's thesis work at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. Since 2014, I am the course leader for Media, health and society (MKVN09) within our International Master Programme in MCS.
My research is oriented towards interdisciplinarity and multi-methodological approaches. It revolves around childhood, media engagement and digital technology in everyday life (e.g. the DIGIKIDS project). I am also interested in media and health, in particular digital health, new creative ways of engaging with and making sense of digital technology for health or medical purposes.
In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.

The most recent one was a three-year bachelor's program in MKV with a focus on health, lifestyle and welfare, at Halmstad University. The program started in 2019.
I am a member of the Faculty of Social Sciences' Teaching Academy, and since 2016, I have been appointed Excellent Teaching Practitioner, ETP. I am also from 2022 a member of the faculty's council for Higher Education Pedagogics.
