Biography

Jenny Sundén is a Professor in Gender Studies at Uppsala University. Her academic work focuses on digital media technologies, feminist theory, queer theory, and affect theory. She is particularly interested in how digital transformations affect bodies, desire, and the governance of marginalized sexualities within the framework of platform capitalism. Her most recent research examines digital sexual cultures, specifically in LGBTQ kink communities, and scrutinizes the role of humor as a form of resistance to sexism and misogyny. With a Ph.D. obtained in 2002 from the Department of Communication Studies at Linköping University, her career has included positions at Södertörn University and Karlstad University, among others. Sundén's notable publications include 'Hot Connections: Sexual Platforms Matter,' 'Who’s Laughing: Feminist Tactics,' and 'Gender Sexuality Online Game Cultures: Passionate Play.' She has contributed to various academic journals regarding gender, media, and technology, and her forthcoming projects focus on audio erotica and the intersections of sexual health and digital intimacy in contemporary society.
