ABOUT THE BLOG<\/h5>\n

This blog is a channel for my communication about research and general thoughts and discussions about youth, informed citizenship, digital literacy, and democracy. It will probably be updated at unequal intervals and with quite different types of content. It will hopefully be of interest to (some) others, but I also sees this as a means of focusing and communicating in a short form that I as a scholar really need to train \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have chosen to continue the use of the former DECIDIS logo for this new blog. The colorfulness enlivens the pages but most of all I like the indication of diversity and continuity that the form represents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A blog is  probably an old-fashioned form for reaching an audience, but I like the options for combining various types of information with the service of archiving. And who knows: Perhaps a podcast or two can be added at some point \u2026<\/p>\n

Under \u2018HOME\u2019 posts about activities and discussions will appear, while my semi-philosophical thoughts about my topics of interest will appear under \u2018ON A PERSONAL NOTE\u2019.<\/p>\n

Under ARCHIVE you will also find some of the contents from two other blogs: Stald\u2019s Weblog<\/em> respectively DECIDIS<\/em>. I will pause the first until I retire and will need another home for my public information channel, while the latter, DECIDIS, will stop and the purpose of will be continued with in the present blog.<\/p>\n

I have decided not to allow comments and replies for two reasons: The general purpose of the blog is to have a communication channel; and I will not be able to find the time to reply and engage in discussions. The dialogue, that I am definitely interested in will have to take place in other contexts.<\/p>\n

BIO, 21.03.2022<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Gitte Stald<\/strong>, Associate Professor, ph.d., Digital Society and Participation<\/em>, IT University of Copenhagen. My research focuses on digital society and citizenship, youth, media, informed citizenship, digital inclusion, digital and democratic literacy. I want to understand impacts on changes in the foundation for democracy.<\/p>\n

I have a particular interest in groups and individuals who experience challenges regarding management of everyday life and of citizenship in digital society.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My journey as a researcher has been long but felt short and there is still so much to engage in, investigate, communicate. My interest in the role of media and information and the first steps into digital society started already while I was a student in the late 70s and the 80s but as a scholar my research took off with my master thesis (Magisterkonferens) on the Danish Trade Union Confederation (Then LO) in 1989 when I was part of a major analysis and reporting on LOs media. I focused on the local unions\u2019 magazines. It was highly interesting and relevant. My engagement here \u2013 with a detour to a local television station as a communication manager \u2013 more or less lead to my participation in the Nordic Network Children, Youth, and Media (B\u00f8rn, Unge, Medier \u2013 BUM) that kickstarted my ongoing focus on children and young peoples\u2019 media cultures \u2013 in the dynamic development of intertwined realities and research foci which are indicated by the research collaborations I have engaged in and by my publications.<\/p>\n

I participated in the European comparative project Children and Their Changing Media Environment<\/em> 1995-1998; in the research program Global Media Cultures<\/em> 1999-2001; in research and development projects on mobile content for young Danes 2004-6; on mobile solutions for dyslexics 2006-7; in The MacArthur Foundation\u2019s series on Youth, Digital Media, and Learning<\/em>; in the project Mobity<\/em> on user driven mobile media communities 2008-9. I was the Danish local project manager in the two European networks\/projects EU Kids On<\/em>line<\/em> 2006-2014 respectively Net Children Go Mobile<\/em> 2012-2014, and in Children Online: Research and Evidence<\/em> (CO:RE) 2021. From 2014-2019 I headed the research network Democracy & Citizenship in Digital Society<\/em> (DECIDIS).<\/p>\n

My latest study is called Youth, Trust, Information, and Democracy and presently I focus on writing and communication my results from this project and on my ongoing research about youth, informed citizenship, digital literacy, and democratic literacy.\"\"<\/p>\n

Throughout my research career, I have had a keen interest in the role of research in society, hence also in the relevance and quality of the research and research results that we offer to society. This is a core reason my I am a member of ITU\u2019s Research Ethics Committee and serve as an expert on EUs Horizon 2020\/ Horizon Europe ethics expert panel.<\/p>\n
