Research
My general research interests are in the areas of prostitution, civil society and digitalization. I have been involved in several research projects on online mobilization, digital advocacy, online hate speech, and the role of social media algorithms for large-scale online protests.
I have also conducted research on various aspects of E-social work, for example the use of automated decision-making, Artificial Intelligence, apps, video meeting tools and social media in social work.
Another study focus on hate speech, threats and harassment against social workers, teachers and journalists, and the role of social media in these processes.
