I am an assistant senior lecturer in Digital Humanities at the Department of Cultural Sciences. With a background in Religious Studies, my current research primarily lies within the field of Digital Religion, focusing on issues related to social media and podcasting.

At the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, I co-host the HumPodd podcast.
