Konstantin Economou serves as a Lecturer at Linköping University within the Department of Culture, Society, Design and Media (KSFM) under the Department of Culture and Society (IKOS) at the Faculty of Philosophy. His academic work bridges cultural studies, media research, and practical community applications, particularly with elderly populations.
Dr. Economou's research centers on participatory methodologies examining how cultural narratives and digital media shape social understanding. His work investigates memory preservation among aging communities through innovative technologies including interactive books, exhibitions, and VR experiences. He also explores media representations in reality television, digital practices among children on YouTube, and interdisciplinary approaches to cultural subjects. His 2023 collaboration on sustainable technology demonstrates his ability to connect humanities with engineering disciplines.
His publication trends reveal consistent engagement with ethical dimensions of community-based research, evolving from early work on television narratives (2013-2016) to contemporary studies on aging populations and sustainable technology. The interdisciplinary nature of his work spans cultural theory, media design, and practical applications in healthcare settings.
Dr. Economou has secured research funding from Norrköpingsfonden for projects exploring how culture and media can enhance everyday life in nursing homes. This initiative has produced tangible outputs including interactive memory tools and public exhibitions at Träffpunkten in Norrköping.
His academic contributions extend beyond traditional scholarship through community-engaged projects that transform research into accessible experiences. The March-May 2020 exhibition "När någon frågar - våra minnen och berättelser" exemplifies his commitment to making academic work relevant to broader society, particularly elderly populations navigating memory preservation.
