Malin Holm

Malin Holm is a postdoctoral researcher in political science at the Department of Government, Uppsala University in Sweden. During 2022-2024 she is a guest researcher at the Department of Media Studies, at the University of Amsterdam.

Malin Holm's research focuses on social media, gender and political communication. In particular, she has investigated how platform affordances shape power dynamics in online political conversations through case studies in a wide variety of contexts, such as the US, Scandinavia and the Middle East. Her current project focuses on platform governance from a perspective of feminist democratic theory, and will study the democratic consequences of “deplatforming” and other types of exclusion strategies employed by online platforms.
