Jesper Enbom serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and Media Studies at Umeå University, Sweden, focusing on media practices within public sector institutions including schools, police, and social services. His research examines organizational communication strategies, surveillance dynamics, and transparency mechanisms in contemporary society.
His primary research interests involve surveillance studies—particularly soft surveillance and everyday surveillance practices—and news management in public organizations. Enbom investigates how institutions navigate media relations, reputation management, and digital communication challenges, with emphasis on power dynamics, ethical considerations, and institutional legitimacy. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications in educational and governmental contexts.
Analysis of Enbom's publications reveals consistent thematic focus across two decades, evolving from sport journalism and educational communication toward comprehensive surveillance studies. The 2023 book 'Everyday Life in the Culture of Surveillance' represents a culmination of his work on acceptance/resistance dynamics, while his 2015-2021 research projects demonstrate longitudinal commitment to understanding organizational communication challenges. His scholarship consistently addresses the intersection of digital transformation, institutional practices, and societal impacts.
Enbom has secured significant research funding including the 'iAccept: Soft surveillance – between acceptance and resistance' project (2017-2021) examining surveillance dynamics in Swedish contexts, and the 'News management challenges in social services, the police and schools' initiative (2015-2016) comparing communication strategies across public sector organizations. These grants demonstrate his capacity to lead interdisciplinary research addressing contemporary societal challenges through empirical investigation and theoretical development.
