Person

I am professor of digital cultures, and a media studies scholar with contemporary and historical interests. I am currently in charge of the research project Silicon Valley Sweden which investigates the ways U.S. tech entrepreneurship and business ideas transformed modern Sweden. I have published in journals as Media History, Journal of Documentation, Journal of Scandinavian Cinema, and Journal of Digital History. In 2023 McGill-Queen University Press published the co-written From Big Bang to Big Data: A History of the Media. My two latest books in Swedish are a media history of cultural heritage, Kulturarvets mediehistoria. Dokumentation och representation 1750–1950 (2020), and a media history of audiovisual archives, Audiovisuella arkiv: en svensk mediehistoria 1930–1990 (2024). Since 2026 I am the director of SwePrint, a national infrastructure giving access to vast amounts of digitized Swedish print—both as single books and collections as data.
