Hanna Jansson

Hanna Jansson is a postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Ethnology, History of Religions and Gender Studies (ERG) at Stockholm University. Her work bridges ethnology and digital humanities, focusing on narrative practices in maritime cultures and digital storytelling.

• Research Focus: Scattering ashes at sea as memorial practice (Att förene sig med större vatten), online travel narratives of sailors, and digital communication practices
• Affiliation: Center for Maritime Studies, Stockholm University

Her ethnographic fieldwork combines online platforms (blogs, social media) and offline maritime environments, analyzing how digital storytelling transforms both journey documentation and audience relationships. Key themes include narrative adaptation, social responsibility, and technological constraints.

Recent publications explore audience-oriented writing, micro-dramas in maritime travel, and phenomenological aspects of digital-physical experience intersections.
