She focuses her research on identity, social issues, and contemporary digital media, and teaches and supervises students at graduate, master's, and doctoral levels.
Her educational background includes being a qualified teacher and achieving the scientific qualification of Associate Professor (Docent). She has over ten years of experience in empirical and theoretical work at the intersection of social values, identity, contemporary media, and education, while maintaining a position within a norm-critical research tradition.
Dr. Hallgren's research interests primarily center around:
- Identity formation in digital contexts
- Social constructivism and existentialism in education
- Anti-racism and educational resources
- Digital technology as a condition for identity making
- Art-based research methodologies
Her work under the umbrella of "Crowdsourcing Identities" explores how identity is made, mediated, and reified by digital technologies. She has also conceptualized "Art Blended Research," an approach that combines art and research to explore multiple viewpoints of the world.
Dr. Hallgren's publications demonstrate strong trends in the intersection of education, digital media, and social justice. Her research focuses particularly on how young people learn about their being, becoming, and belonging through digital technologies, and how ICT can support anti-racist work in classroom settings.
She is also a professional artist since 2010, with her artwork represented in numerous public institutions in Sweden, including The National Public Art Councils, museums, and various municipalities and county councils. Her artistic work complements her academic research in exploring the human condition.
