I am an associate professor of Media History and Journalism, and head of the Section for Media History. My research interests are Cold War culture, propaganda and psychological defence, media and armed conflict, and transnational broadcasting. I am coordinating two research networks, Entangled Media Histories (EMHIS) and Transnational Histories of Civil Defence. My research groups have explored the television exchange between Scandinavia and the GDR, and media preparedness and psychological defence. I have been a visiting fellow at the Hans-Bredow-Institut für Medienforschung in Hamburg, The Centre for Media History at Macquarie University, Sydney, and The Centre for Media History at Bournemouth University. In 2019, I was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, class X.
At KOM, I am coordinating two interdisciplinary seminars, the Film and Media History Seminar and the KOM Higher Research Seminar, and I am heading the DigitalHistory@Lund research platform.
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.
