About

I am an Associate Professor in Development Studies at Malmö University in Sweden teaching in our blended learning online MA program in Communication for Development which was established in 2000. My research focuses on digital development and humanitarian communication topics and I am also interested in aid worker (auto)biographies as a new literary genre.
