Primary fields of research
I study the role of media in everyday life and in broader societal processes and contexts. My focus is on digital tracking and datafication. My research includes the following topics:
-
self-tracking across personal, work and institutional domains of everyday life
-
methodological development in digital media research
-
datafication and automated decision-making, specifically personal data protection in a regulatory and ethical perspective
-
sociological media and communication theory.
Current research
My work addresses the meanings and implications of digital tracking and data-driven decisions for humans and societies. I aim to develop media and communication research on digital tracking and datafication, and my research is anchored in the following projects.
Datafied Living. I lead a team of researchers in empirically studying how people experience self-tracking and other actors' tracking of them across personal, work and institutional contexts in Denmark. Our research comprises extensive and longitudinal fieldwork with users and organisations, as well as research on the infrastructures underpinning digital tracking, datafication and automated decision-making based on citizen data. This research is funded by The Independent Research Fund Denmark, 2020-2024 and an ERC Starting Grant, 2021-2025.
Automating Welfare. I lead the Danish team of an international comparative study of how automated decision-making in the public sector can be made to support human flourishing in EU. The project is funded by CHANSE.
Platform Intelligence in news. This R&D project explores how AI-systems can be used in news media, focusing on assessing the implications of recommender systems on news content and consumption. The project is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark, 2020-2023.
