Henrik Bødker is an Associate Professor in Media Studies at the School of Communication and Culture, Aarhus University, Denmark. He holds a PhD and has been an active researcher since 1995, with over 98 research outputs, including books, journal articles, and book chapters. His work spans communication theory, cultural studies, journalism, and the intersection of media with climate and digital culture.
His research interests focus on communication theory, cultural theory, climate and culture, digital media, internet studies, and newspaper history. He explores how media shapes cultural understanding of climate, seasons, and national identity, particularly in Danish and Nordic contexts. His recent projects examine seasonal journalism as vernacular phenology and climate change in Nordic journalism education.
The trends in his recent publications reveal a strong interdisciplinary focus on environmental communication, public service media, digital transformation, and historical media analysis. His work combines textual analysis with cultural theory to understand long-term shifts in media practices and public engagement with climate and culture.
