Previously, she held a professorship in Media and Communication Studies at Karlstad University and has been a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley, University of Surrey, Peking University, City University of New York, and University of Turku. Her work bridges digital media, gender, and sexuality studies across institutional contexts. Her research centers on the digital transformation of the body and sexuality, examining how platform capitalism and content regulation affect marginalized bodies and obscure networks. She investigates the politics of pleasure through erotic audiobooks where literature, sound, and spatiality intersect. Key areas include digital media studies, technology and science studies, gender and sexuality studies, sound studies, feminist theory, queer theory, posthumanist theory, affect theory, and ethnography. Her scholarly trajectory evolves from early work on online textual embodiment to contemporary studies of feminist tactics in social media and digital game cultures. Her forthcoming book 'Hot Connections' extends this to sexual platforms, highlighting material and political dimensions of digital intimacy and platform regulation while analyzing how pleasure operates within data-driven economies. She leads three major funded projects: 'Listening pleasures' (2024-2028) on audio fiction and sexual health; 'Digital sexual health' (2022-2025) on LGBTQ+ wellbeing in sextech; and 'Rethinking sexuality' (2020-2023) on Nordic-Baltic digital sexual cultures.
