Associate Professor, PhD, Film and Media Studies

Primary fields of research

My primary research topics are the influence of media on lifestyle and health. In particular I have studied television lifestyle and health programs. Recent years I have studied the media use of older people and how media influence health of older people. Additional research interests concern the interplay between media and fashion, e.g. fashion blogging, and the cultural perception of childhood in various media.
