About Inga-Bodil Ekselius

I am a communications officer at the Department of Applied IT and work with external and internal communications, providing communications support to management and staff, as well as managing the website, social media, newsletters and more.

Background and previous experience

I graduated as a journalist and have worked as a freelance journalist and editor; I also have extensive experience as a communications officer at the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research at the University of Gothenburg. There, I worked primarily with research communication, popular science outreach, and provided strategic support for external and internal communication, as well as support for organisational development.

I have worked extensively on collaboration, both within academia and between stakeholders in research, policy and practice, as well as on developing networks and forums at national, Nordic and international levels.

Between 2007 and 2014, I was editor of the magazine Genus, a popular science journal, and Gender Research in Sweden (international edition), and subsequently for genus.se. As a communications professional, I have worked with various media and tools and in a range of roles. I also have a background as a theatre producer.
