Research profile

I study culture and cultural processes, and I am interested in how cultures emerge and evolve in light of changes in society affecting relations between people. I focus on cultural and social change, often with a focus on factors relating to consumption and/or tourism as factors of change. This often involves identity-related perspectives and includes discursive and visual representations, narratives and framing. Due to years of working with administrative and strategic aspects of study programmes that I have been involved with, I have also taken an interests in educational practices of PBL and interdisciplinarity, which also relates to cultural practices.

Teaching profile
