I am Head of the Divisions of ABM & Digital Culture and Publishing Studies. I am also researcher, supervisor and teacher in the Division of Ethnology where I teach on the Master of Applied Cultural Analysis (MACA). As researcher I study digital and analogue contemporary everyday and popular culture phenomena. Currently, I study "house dreams", the real estate market, the home, the digital market Hemnet, renovation and sustainability issues. Other themes that interest me are creativity, consumption, tourism, lifestyles, health (I'm a Cert. Physical Therapist), mobility, love, TV-series and the dark sides of digitalization. I am interested in Higher Education Pedagogy. My research is steeped in an interest in discourse and gender; my background is in English and feminist cultural studies, although I'm now an ethnologist by proximity and practice. I'm an experienced editor, I manage the journal Game Studies since 2008 and I created the Game Studies Foundation in 2010.
