I am Professor of Information Studies. My research concerns the control of information in society, with a special focus on disinformation and how generative AI influences expertise, evidence and trust in a datafied society. In particular, I have studied search engines and their role in everyday life, as well as media and information literacy as forms of infrastructural meaning-making.

I teach future librarians and other information specialists in the ALM program. I lead the doctoral program in Information Studies. I am also coordinator of the research node Dīcit: Disinformation, Conspiracy Theories, and Infrastructures of Information.

I am currently leading the RE-SEARCH project (funded by the Swedish Research Council), analysing how information-seeking strategies evolve among young people in schools in response to the AI-infused information infrastructure.

In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.
