I work as a lecturer at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borås, Sweden. I write about how information is sought, shared, organized, produced, and otherwise dealt with in relation to environmental matters, novel technologies and/or scholarly work. My main interests include citizen science, multispecies relations and issues of representing environmental aspects by way of generative artificial intelligence. Acknowledging methodological flexibility, I tend to work with qualitative and digital research methods.
