About this website
Digital change, Everyday life
This is my personal website centering on research and course delivery at the University of Agder, Norway, as well as my adjunct functions at several schools of journalism and communication elsewhere. The site contains my blog, a wide range of update pages and my way of collecting research resources for students locally and internationally. Much of what is found here centers on how our society is undegoing a deep digital transformation, driven my globalizing communications technologyes and affecting everyday life in deeply transformative manners .
