Tuva Haglund is a Postdoctoral Fellow in Literary Studies at Uppsala University's Department of Literary Studies and Rhetoric, where she conducts research on children's and young adult literature, fan culture, and digital reading practices. She also serves as Research Coordinator at the Swedish Children's Book Institute since 2024 and has been involved in multiple research projects examining contemporary Nordic children's literature and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA).
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Literary Studies, Uppsala University (2021)
- Master of Arts in Literature, Uppsala University (2012)
- Teaching degree for upper secondary and later years of primary school, Malmö University (2011)
Haglund's research primarily focuses on how digital platforms shape reading experiences, particularly through her current project 'Reading with Booktok,' which examines how young people's reading motivation and habits evolve across digital and analog contexts. She also investigates representations of motherhood in contemporary Nordic children's literature and conducts research on the ALMA Prize. Her work bridges literary studies, digital humanities, and childhood studies, with particular attention to social reading practices and fan cultures.
Haglund's publication record reveals a consistent trajectory exploring how readers engage with literature across digital platforms. Her recent work shows increasing focus on Booktok as a social reading community, representations of motherhood in children's literature, and critical analyses of fan cultures. This evolution demonstrates her commitment to understanding how contemporary reading practices are transforming in the digital age while maintaining deep engagement with children's and young adult literature.
She serves on the editorial board of Barnelitterært forskningstidskrift and recently completed a guest editorship with Malin Nauwerck for the theme 'Motherhood and Parenting' in Barnboken (2023/2024). Her collaborative research projects often involve interdisciplinary teams examining the intersection of literature, digital culture, and childhood studies.
