Björn Ekström

I am a Lecturer at the Swedish School of Library and Information Science, University of Borås, Sweden. I explore human and nonhuman engagement with information in scholarly conduct, in scholars’ relations with nonscholars and/or in environmental settings. I focus on situated interaction of information and how this interaction is relationally tied to large-scale phenomena. In my studies, I combine sociomaterial practice theory approaches with qualitative and digital methods.

Past projects have included studies of information practices in voluntary species monitoring, configurations of (dis/mis)information about sustainability energy initiatives in dominant information infrastructures and big data approaches for monitoring research and innovation performance.

I joined the Swedish School of Library and Information Science in April 2018. I have an MA from Uppsala University in Library and Information Science and two BSc from Linnaeus University, one in Comparative Literature and one in Business Administration.
