Nina’s research investigates how digital and algorithmic technologies impact the way we work, create, and live. She is especially interested in media production and consumption.

Before joining the LSE, Nina carried out her doctoral research in KCL’s Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries with funding from the London Arts and Humanities Partnership. Her PhD thesis (‘Data, Camera, Action: Screen Production in a Streaming Era’) examines how European film and TV workers make sense of their collaborations with data-driven players like Netflix and Amazon. As a result, Nina has gained insight into the ways these global streamers shape production processes, creative work, and screen content. 

Nina is currently working on a research project about ‘Spotify Wrapped’. Together with Dr Taylor Annabell from Utrecht University, she has been running a series of creative workshops to explore the datafication of music taste and identity during this algorithmic event. A video about the project is available here.

Prior to moving to the UK, Nina studied Film and Media at the University of Copenhagen and spent semesters abroad in both the US and Australia. She then went on to work on a municipal initiative that transformed Copenhagen’s Harbour into a hub for arts and culture. On this project, she collaborated with artists and local associations to organise events in and around the clean harbour water (think synchronised swimming, raft concerts, and waterbombing championships).

Nina thoroughly enjoys teaching and has taught on both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. She is always trying to develop her teaching skills and use of creative pedagogies.
