Biography

As a researcher my focus is on understanding human action and interaction in and with digital technology. I received my doctorate in sociology from Stockholm University in 2013. My PhD thesis was an in-depth study of social engagement, relationships, and design in digital gaming, investigated through several case studies utilizing a mixed methods approach.

After my PhD I spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Sociology in Stockholm, which included a scholarship-funded exchange with Mia Consalvo at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada in her interdisciplinary game studies lab.

In 2014, the summer, until the end of 2015, I was invited to and spent 1.5 years at the Department of Sociology at UC Berkeley, California, U.S.

In 2017, I applied for a position as biträdande lektor / lecturer (assistant professor) in Human-Computer interaction at the Department of Informatics and Media at Uppsala University.

In 2022, I was accepted as a associate professor (senior lecturer) at the Department of Informatics and Media at Uppsala University.
