Victoria Vallström is a Doctoral Researcher in Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Work Science, University of Gothenburg. Her research examines climate misinformation and climate obstruction in digital environments, with a particular focus on social media platforms such as TikTok, as well as YouTube, blogs, and Twitter/X. Methodologically, she combines computational approaches for analyzing large-scale social media data, including computational multimodal content analysis, large language models (LLMs), and social network analysis, with qualitative, theory-informed interpretation to study the dynamics of climate misinformation in online communication.
