About Me

My photo
Torill
This is the journal of Torill Elvira Mortensen. I am a full professor at Nord University in Bodø. The topics of my writings here are among other things media studies, reader-response theory, role-play games, Internet Culture, travel, academic weirdness and online communication - put together at random.
