Erik Edoff is an Associate Professor at the Department of Culture and Media Studies, Umeå University, specializing in media history and digital humanities. His research employs computational methods to analyze historical media systems, particularly Swedish newspapers and cross-Baltic information flows.

Research interests focus on 19th-20th century media transformations, including:

• Computational analysis of historical texts and newspapers
• Swedish political discourse and welfare state development
• Baltic Sea regional media networks
• Urban-rural press dynamics in historical contexts
• Digital archival methodologies and text mining applications

His publications (2014-2023) consistently explore media history through digital approaches, with recurring themes of information circulation, political rhetoric in press, and visual culture. Recent works emphasize computational modeling of historical media ecosystems and transnational text reuse patterns.
