Johanna Rivano Eckerdal

I defended my doctoral thesis on June 1st. My thesis is a compilation thesis and concerns information literacy in the context of sexual health. I am head of the division of ALM and I teach at the ALM Master program.

I have previously worked as a pedagog at a museum and as a highschool librarian and I have an interest for questions concerning pedagogics at institutions within the ALM-sector. My research interest in information literacy practices have also made me interested in learning in other settings.

I am a member of the research group "Information practices: Communication, Culture and Society"
