Current research

My PhD project is titled 'Self-tracking the communicating body'.

 

• Main supervisor: Associate Professor Stine Lomborg (University of Copenhagen).
• Co-supervisor: Professor Klaus Bruhn Jensen (University of Copenhagen).

 

My research focuses on emerging human-technology relations and how they are experienced across personal, work, and institutional contexts of everyday life.

Particularly, I study the intersection of experiences with, on the one hand, the affordances of digital tracking technologies that facilitate the generation, storing, processing, monitoring, and tracking of data from identified human beings, and, on the other hand, the affordances of human bodies in themselves as inherently communicating sources of information that, in turn, leave data tracks behind.

To do so, I use empirical data from semi-structured interviews and diaries with the aim of theorizing ‘the communicating body’ in relation to the use of digital self-tracking technologies within a Danish context.

My project is part of the larger research project, Datafied Living, which is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF) and runs from 2020-2025.
