I am an associate professor in the Interaction Design (IxD) and Digital Media and Communication (DMC) research groups at the IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark. My research is located at the intersection of Information Sciences, Communication Studies and Human Computer Interaction. My work examines how people adapt and integrate an increasingly broad array of information and communication technologies into their daily lives in a variety of cultural contexts, with a special focus on technology adoption and use under conditions of strain. My studies of how people use technologies to maintain personal relationships and to cope with adverse circumstances expose how technology use is deeply shaped by local social and political contexts.
