Johannes Sjöberg

Johannes Sjöberg is a lecturer in Screen Studies in Drama at the University of Manchester. He specialises in screen practice as research, and his interests revolve around the boundaries between artistic and academic approaches to research and representation. His approach is based on the practice and critical study of qualitative research methods, such as extended fieldwork and participant observation. He uses participatory and improvisational art forms to mediate complex cultural understanding to the popular audience within a reflexive context. This approach has developed as a research interest through film and theatre education, freelance work as an actor and filmmaker.
