From january 18th to March 14th, I’ll be a visiting PhD student the School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University. I’ve been assigned to live at Ford Hall, right next to the school. I’m looking forward to a fun couple of weeks in New Brunswick, and also a couple of visits to New York.
It’s almost december, which means I’ll soon be heading west to St Louis and the ICIS 2010 conference. I will present my work on online newspapers during the poster session (poster available via SlideShare). I have also been admitted to the OASIS pre-conference workshop, where I will give a short presentation regarding my current work on internet use during the 2010 Swedish elections. Hopefully, I’ll also find the time to see a bit more of St Louis than the conference hotel – although it looks nice…
My speech and subsequent discussion session during Internetdagarna was filmed and broadcast on Swedish Television (that’s me in the middle in the picture above). I was discussing some of my research findings regarding the recently held Swedish general election (more info here). The entire session is available for your perusal (in Swedish only) on YouTube – my speech starts at 23 minutes and 20 seconds.
I have been accepted for participation in the New Media, New Theories, New Methods PhD course in Kalundborg, Denmark. It looks like an interesting course, and it will give me an opportunity to present my ongoing work on Internet use during the 2010 Swedish election.
Seated on the 06.00 train from Stockholm to Göteborg (Gothenburg, GBG, whatever) and the Internet Research 11 conference. Although I don’t have a presentation during the actual conference itself, I will present some tentative results from my two studies regarding the recent 2010 Swedish election during the Evaluating Social Media pre-conference workshop.
I’m in Bergen to give a presentation and to collaborate with Hallvard Moe on a few research projects focusing on the social media platform Twitter. Should be good. Only downside is the weather. It rains here. A lot.
Just sent of the last student essays that were handed in to me as part of my summer course on social media and web 2.0 (swedish). This year, some 40 students took part – a drop since last summer, but still quite good for a distance-based summer course.
As of april of this year, I have been appointed Director of Communication for The Swedish IT-User Centre (NITA). The web page is in Swedish, but english speakers can find information on NITA and its objectives here.
Together with Else Nygren, I co-authored this article on digital generations in schools for the Swedish debate site Newsmill.
