My research interests are the history of the Internet as a means of communication, and Digital Humanities, including archiving the Internet as well as the use of digital research tools. I have published a number of articles and book chapters, monographs, and edited books, including The historical web and Digital Humanities: The case of national web domains (ed. with Ditte Laursen, Routledge, 2019), The SAGE Handbook of Web History (ed. with Ian Milligan, SAGE, 2019), The Archived Web: Doing History in the Digital Age (MIT Press, 2018), Web 25: Histories from the first 25 years of the World Wide Web (ed., Peter Lang, 2017), The Web as History: Using Web Archives to Understand the Past and the Present (ed. with R. Schroeder, UCL Press. 2017. In addition, I am heading the research infrastructure “NetLab”, and I am the Managing editor of the international journal Internet histories: Digital technology, culture and society.

My recent research focuses on various aspects of digital journalism. An important aspect of this relates to how online journalism constitutes time and how this has changed since the first news sites. This is related to a broader focus on how online magazines and brands have developed.

My PhD project (2012-) Mediatized parenthood studies the role of internet media in the transition to parenthood. Today's parents have access to counseling and communication resources with a volume, speed, and scope that is unprecedented in history, and social media provide vast new opportunities for displaying family life. My project aims to elucidate mediatized parenthood through an examination of how internet media and interactive mobile technologies are intertwined with the first formative phase of parenthood. I study how Danish first-time parents use internet media in their new social roles as parents, where and how parenthood practices and media practices intersect, and the key characteristics of this increasingly mediatized life transition.

In the early 21th century the processes of digitization of culture and society has entered a new phase. On the one hand, digital media is today used all over. We scan the world from outer space to the body's interior. On the other hand, a still growing number of people participate in the daily production of digital materials. In the years to come, we can expect that a rapidly growing part of society articulate itself and is reflected in the increasing number of digital genres of digital media platforms. We get more and more diverse digital materials spread over more and more diverse, more customized digital media. We will also have a growing variety of search and presentation tools. Digital born materials thus becomes an increasingly important, often unique historical source material. This development presents challenges for selection, curation, preservation, analysis and dissemination of knowledge in all disciplines. It challenges our concepts of computers and digital media since a growing part of digital materials are messy and non-parametric which does not fit with the dominating 20-century concepts of parametric data stored in well-ordered relational databases.  It also challenges our archive and library systems, which have historically been built up around the more stable and localized written and printed sources.

Thus fundamental questions are raised about how we can describe the swelling and heterogeneous data materials and how we should organize the 21st century knowledge resources and knowledge dissemination? The study of digital materials will develop into a field in its own right.

My primary research interest is social media and their impact on the language use and language change. I am interested in both individual and organisational uses of the online social networks as a forum for identity construction, social interaction, and strategic communication. I have done empirical studies of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Currently I am doing research on everyday written online interaction, including emojis, memes, punctuation and spelling.

My research within Internet studies has mainly been focused on the lived experience of ICT users and online ethnography. My ethnographic studies of Internet users are represented in the book Life Online: Researching Real Experience in Virtual Space (1998). I am also interested in qualitative methodologies and ethics, and have published several articles within these areas.

My research interests include media history, cross media, web historiography, web archiving, web tracking, privacy and consent. I am part of the Danish research infrastructure project DIGHUMLAB (Digital Humanities Lab Denmark) where I head LARM.fm, a community and research infrastructure for the study of audio and visual materials, and participate in NetLab, a community and research infrastructure for the study of internet materials. I am currently working on projects about the history of the Danish web and the ways to study the web historically, and on projects about web tracking, privacy and consent. I am also very interested in the new possibilities and challenges when working with and across digital archives, including web archives. I am a board member of the Centre for Internet Studies and a member of the NetLab Forum.

My primary research interests are the relations between the social and communication media. For the time being I work with how organizations cope with new media, and how digital network media influence on educational interaction. Theoretically I use sociological systems theory and medium theory. One of my focus areas is social media, and more specifically the role of Facebook for self and society.
