Sweden: Country Representative

Dear colleagues, My name is Johan Lindell and I am happy to announce that I have been given the position as YECREA's country representative in Sweden. I am a PhD candidate in Media and Communication at the department of Geography, Media and Communication at Karlstad University. Generally, my research focuses on the potential expansion of our social imaginaries in contemporary, mediatized societies. More specifically, I'm studying the relationship between a global openness - or "cosmopolitan dispositions" - and different media practices and how that relationship expresses itself in different spheres in society. My main mission as YECREA's country representative in Sweden is to constitute as a mediator facilitating communication and exchange between our network and the national Media and Communication Studies context in Sweden. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me at johan.lindell@kau.se. Best wishes,Johan LindellMedia and CommunicationKarlstad University
