My research interests are first and foremost democratic uses of the Internet, as a medium for campaigning and political communication and as a forum for debate among citizens. Further, I am interested in social uses of the Internet, especially online social networks like Facebook as a forum for identity construction and social interaction. I work on a book on sociology in the age of the Internet. Finally I have worked extensively on the use of new media for tourism purposes. In the spring of 2009 I published (with Anne Marit Waade) the book Media and Tourism (In Danish). My present main research project is on the new borderlines of the public sphere, see www.ong.au.dk.
