Affiliated with Imagine...Centre for Creative Industries

Mass media and their role in creating community and producing new spaces are central to my research. Relevant issues in this context place branding and urban governance.
Moreover I am interested in the wide field of creative industries. In this context, I am participating in the four years research project Creative Encounters - the socio-economic organization of Creative Industries with special focus on place, art and culture.
Geographically my research focuses on Germany, especially Berlin, but also Scandinavia. Here I am interested in Danish-Swedish relations within the Øresund area.

Primary research areas

  • German Area Studies
  • Creative Industries
  • Place Branding
  • Regional and national image and identity constructions in Europe
  • Media Geography
  • (Mass) Media Studies
  • Cultural theory, (Critical) Discourse analysis
