Title of the docent lecture: The listener and death. True crime in P3 Documentary 2005–2020
"With around half a million listeners a week, P3 Documentary is one of Swedish Radio's most popular programs of all time. It focuses mainly on crimes, usually already solved cases of spectacular lethal violence. The lecture is based on an ongoing research project, which not only examines how the image of crime and the legal system is formulated and disseminated, but also how knowledge about this is produced and taught – and how it may affect the listener from the perspective of gender. age, class and ethnicity. In the project, we also ask how true crime can be experienced in relation to listening and new forms of media."
