About me
My research is about communication in contemporary society, focusing on the role of texts, digital media and writing. At present, I am working on several projects on crisis communication as a profession and one on the visual environment in schools. My general research interest concerns how people act in relation to texts och tools, and build knowledge together. My research fields are applied linguistics, literacy studies, social semiotics and mediated discourse analysis (nexus analysis).
Together with Stefan Norrthon, I coordinate the research group "Interaction and multilingualism". Another responsibility is to give advise in research ethics.
