Nora Theorin

Nora Theorin is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) at the University of Gothenburg. She is actively involved in research projects including 'DigiPatch: Moving from networked to patchworked society' and 'Knowledge Resistance: Causes, Consequences and Cures'. Her academic work bridges media studies, political science, and migration research.

Nora Theorin's research focuses on opinion formation, media effects, political psychology and migration. Her work examines how media coverage influences public attitudes toward migration, with particular attention to different immigrant groups and the perception of economic, cultural, and security threats. She investigates framing effects in news media and their impact on policy preferences related to free movement within the EU, employing both experimental and comparative methodologies across multiple European countries.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on media effects on migration attitudes, with increasing attention to methodological challenges in survey research involving immigrant populations and socially disadvantaged areas. Her work demonstrates a strong comparative European perspective, with publications spanning multiple journals in political science, communication, and migration studies. The research shows evolution from theoretical examinations of media effects to more applied studies addressing contemporary challenges in public opinion research.

Nora Theorin teaches at both undergraduate and advanced levels at the University of Gothenburg. While specific grant information isn't detailed in the available materials, her participation in multiple research projects suggests successful grant acquisition. She completed her doctoral studies at JMG, defending her thesis 'Us Versus Them and the Role of the Media. The Influence of Media on Attitudes Toward Migration in Europe' in 2021.
