Isabelle Strömstedt

A central theme in my research is cross-disciplinary collaboration. Together with colleagues in technology, visualisation, pedagogy, and design, I study meaning how visual content is developed in multidisciplinary teams and how different knowledge traditions meet, are negotiated, and translated into practice.

I work part-time at Visualiseringscenter C, where I serve as Content Lead in the interdisciplinary research project TellUs – The Talking Planet. Within the project, I work with a content team to develop educational programmes that use visio-verbal storytelling and visual sequences to make complex scientific information understandable and engaging for pupils in grades 1–6. The work is carried out in close collaboration with research engineers, educators, didactics researchers, and the target group.

I teach in the Bachelor’s Programme in Graphic Design and Communication as well as within Media and Communication Studies. My teaching focuses on graphic design principles, visual expression, narratology, storytelling, and cultural analytical methods.

As Head of the Division of Visual Media Communication, I lead the strategic and operational work of the division. In my role as Chair of the Programme Planning Group, I work with the long-term development of curriculum content, progression, and research integration within the Bachelor’s Programme in Graphic Design and Communication.
