Personal profile

Research

I am a Postdoctoral researcher in Media and Communication Studies at Lund University. My research is situated in the fields of Media, Culture, Gender, and Affect studies, with particular focus on Media and (Mental) Health. 

My book, 21st Century Media and Female Mental Health: Profitable Vulnerability and Sad Girl Culture is out now with Palgrave MacMillan. The open access book traces the mid-2010s turn to sadness in women's media culture and explores how contemporary mental health discourse is exemplified by both a profitable vulnerability and a more radical sad girl culture.

Currently I am primarily working within the research project Demography and democracy - Healthy Ageing in a Digital World, an international effort done in collaboration with colleagues from University of Southern Denmark and University of Eastern Finland. I am also in charge of the research project “Är det konstigt att man blir sjuk i en värld som är galen?,” which is generously funded by Wahlgrenska Stiftelsen.
