SIMON LINDGREN

DIGITAL SOCIOLOGIST

I am Simon Lindgren, Professor of Sociology at Umeå University in Sweden. I am also the director of DIGSUM, an interdisciplinary academic research centre for the study of social dimensions of digital technology.

My research is about language, power and social networks in digital media. I use critical discourse approaches, text mining, and social network analysis to study the relationship between digital media and society (politics; movements; power; resistance; social support; affect).
