Kristina Jämtelid serves as a Lecturer at Mid Sweden University within the Department of Communication, Quality Management and Information Systems in Sundsvall. Holding a PhD, she is affiliated with the DEMICOM research center and actively contributes to academic and applied research in communication science.
Her research centers on strategic communication, with a dual focus on climate communication and crisis management. She explores how public authorities and organizations can effectively convey messages during emergencies (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) and for long-term environmental goals. Her work addresses critical issues including rumor control, inter-agency collaboration, and public engagement in sustainability initiatives.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent application of communication theory to societal challenges, with 80% of her 2021-2024 output examining crisis response mechanisms and climate action strategies in Swedish municipal contexts. Her research demonstrates strong practical orientation, bridging academic frameworks with real-world public administration needs.
She leads externally funded projects including the ongoing 'Communication for Climate Neutral Örnsköldsvik 2030' supporting municipal climate strategies, and previously contributed to the SACK20 project analyzing corona pandemic crisis communication. These initiatives involve multi-stakeholder collaboration with regional authorities and emergency services.
As a core member of the DEMICOM research center, Dr. Jämtelid participates in interdisciplinary teams investigating democratic communication processes, media ecosystems, and societal resilience through empirical studies of Swedish public sector communication practices.
