The aim of this PhD project is to study media discourses of the Swedish North, and the places, people and actors that are pointed out as centres in the ongoing so-called green industrial transition. Furthermore, a part of the aim of the project is about exploring the media industry’s role in contributing to transition processes when it comes to creating more sustainable and just communities. Important for the context of the project is consideration of the heterogeneity of the Swedish North, and stereotypical representations will be problematized.
Mikaela Wikström Ruona is a Doctoral student in doktorand i Media and Communication Studies at the Department of Culture and Media Studies, and the Arctic Graduate School.
The med seminar is organised by Högre seminariet in Media and Communication Studies.
