Profile and activities

In 1999, I completed my dr.philos. degree at The University of Oslo, on the Russian journalist, editor and literary critic A. Voronsky, a key figure in journalism and literary debates in Soviet Russia in the 1920s. Joining Oslo University College in 2000, my teaching and research since 2005 are in Media & communication studies and in journalism. Before joining OUC, I had worked more than 20 years in research administration, in business and in the government.

In 2012, I am finalizing a book on media management as well as several articles. In the first half of 2012, my course "Communication and Media" was part of a new one-year MA-level program in Arts Management. Scheduled activities in 2012 included a guest lecture in April on media ethics at Hogeschool van Amsterdam, a visit in early May to Vietnam for human rights discussions and the ICCMTD conference 9-11 May 2012 in Istanbul to present a co-authored paper with colleagues from the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey.
