Biografi
Since September 2022, I'm a senior lecturer in Media and Communication at the Department of Geography, Media and Communication (GMK). Before, I was a postdoc researcher and lecturer at Trier University, NTNU Trondheim and University of Vienna. I hold a doctorate in Communication from Freie Universität Berlin (2011) and a master’s degree in political science from Johannes Gutenberg-Universität (JGU) Mainz. My research areas are the analysis of populist communication, politicians' perceptions of the media, automated frame analysis, and the credibility of YouTube influencers.
I'm the Swedish representative in the COST Action OPINION (Measuring Opinionated Communication) and member of the network's "Tools" working group.
