Kort presentation
Som lärare och forskare i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, med inriktning organisationskommunikation, ligger mitt främsta intresse i att studera kommunikationens roll för, i och via organisering. Pågående forskning: det lokala matsystemet REKOs organisationalitet (bedrivs via projekt på SH); strategiska kommunikation och skandinaviska universitet, samt; den ursprungsmärkta Upplandskubbens problematiska existens.

Strategic Communication and Organizing in the Scandinavian Higher Education Sector: Towards the Promotional University?
With: Hogne Sataøen (ÖRU) and Simon Neby (UiB). Vetenskapsrådet.
Today, strategic communication is a phenomenon all universities prioritize. Examples are numerous: The creation of social media accounts, use of symbols and values, accentuated interest in international rankings, production of multimodal material, extensive sale of merchandises, and a rapid growth of communication departments. Strategic communication also creates tensions between classical ideals of the university, and ideals related to the “The Promotional University.” The aim of the project is, by means of qualitative research methods, to develop knowledge about the challenges, tensions and pressures shaped by the proliferation of strategic communication in Scandinavian higher education institutions. The project takes its point of departure in the Scandinavian context, and it is structured into three sub-studies: (a) the development of communicational strategies, plans and activities; (b) professional ideals embedded in the production of promotional material; and (c) multimodal content produced by universities. The project will contribute with novel empirical insights about important transformation process in higher education. The project will also employ a comparative, holistic and multiple-case approach, as well as innovatively integrating insights from institutional organization theory and multimodal communication research. Ongoing 2021-2025.
Organizing REKO: The Viability of a Local Food System in Finland, Sweden & Latvia (at Södertörn University)
With: Emma Christensen (Roskilde University), Hanna Leipämaa-Leskinen (Vasa University), and Steffi Siegert (Linneaus University). Project located at Södertörn University, with Daniel Lövgren as the project leader. The purpose of this project is to explore what makes REKO viable in three variously mature contexts in the Baltic Sea Region: Finland, Sweden, and Latvia. For this purpose we adopt the theory of organizationality – a communication based view on how loose social formations achieve degrees of “organization-ness” through interconnected processes of identity, actorhood and decision-making – and theorizing of place. Project started in August 2023, and ends summer 2026.

Unik ...men levande? En studie av Upplandskubbens organisationalitet
Detta projekt genomförs under våren 2025 och finansieras av Gastronomiska Stiftelsen. Syftet är att undersöka Upplandskubben som sedan 2014 är en Skyddad UrsprungsBeteckning (SUB), men som samtidigt för en begränsad tillvaro i det offentliga ljuset.
