As a lecturer in the Bachelor's Program in Graphic Design and Communication, I teach visual culture, visual communication, visual identity, critical analysis methods, and the fundamental principles of graphic design. My courses aim to provide students with an analytical understanding of how visual expressions influence and reflect our past, present, and future. As the Director of Studies for the program's courses offered by the Department of Science and Technology, I am responsible for the pedagogical development and implementation.
My research focuses on how various phenomena and issues are portrayed in visual cultures and visual communication. I have studied different types of materials from the late 19th century to the present day, intending to demonstrate how visual perspectives can enrich the toolbox of humanistic research and provide insights into the visual dimensions of our cultural lives. Examples of analyses I have conducted include the historical depiction of Swedish national park forests as places for experiences, how the relationship between something human and non-human is constructed in art focused on Nordic mythology from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and how the Swedish Patent and Registration Office reshaped its visual identity by launching a logo competition for employees in the 1980s.
As the project manager for the research and development project TellUs, I am responsible for the strategic planning and organization of the operational work. The project aims to spark children's interest in our planet, STEM subjects, and sustainable development through visioverbal learning. We strive to develop an interactive globe that will tour schools in Östergötland. With the help of visualizations and generative AI, the globe will be able to answer children's questions about the planet while explaining what it is showing.
