معرفی
Magnus Nilsson is an Associate Professor at Linköping University's Department of Culture and Society (IKOS), specializing in the Division of Social Work (SOCARB). His research focuses on aging studies, gender studies, and media representation of social issues, with particular attention to elder care, masculinity in later life, and public discourse dynamics. He is affiliated with the Social Work Research Environment and actively contributes to interdisciplinary aging research.
Nilsson's work critically examines societal constructions of aging, exploring themes such as elder care policy, media framing of elderly populations, and the intersection of masculinity with mortality. He has published extensively on topics like nursing home marketization, public reactions to elder care controversies, and the narratives surrounding dying older men. His research frequently employs qualitative methods, including discourse analysis and ethnographic approaches.
His recent articles highlight tensions between autonomy and institutional care, the role of media in shaping public perception of aging, and the gendered dimensions of end-of-life experiences. Notable works include analyses of Swedish TV documentaries' portrayal of elder care conflicts and critical evaluations of nationalism's impact on aging discourse.
Nilsson is based at Linköping University's Campus Norrköping, contributing to both teaching and research initiatives within the social sciences. His work bridges theoretical frameworks from gerontology, sociology, and media studies to address contemporary challenges in aging societies.
