  • Thanks for visiting!

    Welcome to my blog/online scrapbook.

    I am a Norwegian journalist and academic living in Melbourne, Australia. Currently doing a practice-based PhD at La Trobe University in Melbourne. I also teach for La Trobe's Journalism program.

    I have a background in newspapers, and I'm using my PhD project to explore and experiment with new media technologies, making a web series called The Inland Sea: An Australian Odyssey. You can find the series web site by clicking the link below.

    All the best,
