Profil

My research examines how gendered and marginalized bodies navigate digital spaces such as e-sports, streaming platforms, and online games. I focus particularly on the experiences of female gamers and streamers, and examine how visual and vocal representation impacts participation, harassment, and community dynamics in virtual contexts.

My previous studies have explored the interplay between gender and violence and analyzed how structural and symbolic violence manifests itself in digital contexts. This includes studies of gender-based harassment in e-sports, the social consequences of visibility for female gamers, and the ways in which digital spaces can both reproduce and challenge existing power structures. I use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews, questionnaires, and content analysis, and work in an interdisciplinary manner with a focus on gender and violence research.

Arbejdsområder

Jeg forsker i køn i esport ved Aarhus Universitet med fokus på, hvordan køn påvirker deltagelse, identitet og repræsentation i konkurrencepræget gaming. Med kvalitative metoder undersøger jeg, hvordan marginaliserede spillere navigerer synlighed og fællesskaber. Mit arbejde fremmer inklusion gennem akademisk og offentlig formidling med mål om at styrke ligestilling og udfordre stereotyper i digitale spilrum.
