I defended my thesis at the University of Gothenburg in 2003 and have been Professor of Information Studies at Lund University since 2012.
In my research I am interested in information practises, source criticism & trust, media & information literacy, digital culture, information seeking, and knowledge formation and credibility. In recent years I have particularly researched the role of search engines in everyday life (Invisible search and Online Search Engines: The Ubiquity of Search in Everyday Life) and media and information literacy (Paradoxes of Media and Information Literacy: The Crisis of Information).
I teach in the ALM master's program and am responsible for the PhD program in Information Studies. An important challenge I am involved with is preparing future librarians and other information professionals for the changes the sector is undergoing. Through doctoral education, I am committed to the development of the discipline and to new generations of researchers.
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.
