Personal profile

Short presentation

I am an associate professor at the Center for Tracking and Society (CTS) at Department of Communication. I regularly teach courses in communication theory, research design, and empirical methodologies, including workshops on data analysis and data visualization. Currently, all of my teaching is at the Cognition & Communication programme.

My primary research interests are platforms and digital media as well as qualitative and quantitative methods and visualization. I primarily work in R, with a preference for Tidyverse syntax. Dabbling in Python, but old habits die hard.

The last couple of years I have been working on empirical-slash-conceptual studies of digital media platforms. A lot of this work is conducted with Jacob Ørmen and Anne Mette Thorhauge. Jacob and I have published work on YouTube and Reddit and the three of us are currently working on everyday "economic culture" and investment-adjacent idioculture(s).

A connected set of my (older) publications focus on video games, cognition, and genre theory: You can track a reasonably consistent framework through this set of publications connecting a model of embodied game interaction to questions of genre. 

I also sometimes do research on "older" media, like television or film.
