Anna Maaranen

My research focuses on new socio-technical spaces and interactions in contemporary organizational and societal contexts. My areas of interest include social media and other online spaces. I focus on the opportunities and challenges in the various encounters between people and technologies. I am also interested in questions of (in)equality in the intersections of online and offline. Recently, I have focused on studying social media as an arena for societal debates on geopolitical shifts. I work with critical discursive and multimodal methods.

I have a M.Sc. from Aalto University and a D.Sc. from Hanken School of Economics in Organisation and Management studies.
