I am happy to announce that I now have a PhD 😀 Friday was the day of my PhD defence and it was a really good experience. Especially, I want to thank the assessment committee, Mikael Vetner, Elza Dunkels and Leena Kuure, for creating a nice atmosphere  with relevant questions and a good academic discussion.

Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate me (colleagues, students, friends and family) – I had an amazing day.

The entire defence was videotaped and will be available at Aalborg University’s web page at some point. I will add a link when it’s online!

For the time being, I will focus on my next big project – the birth of my future daughter (I am 38 weeks pregnant). This also means that I am now officially on maternity leave and will probably not be bogging that much.

Thanks to all the readers of My PhD Blog who have followed my academic efforts the past 3,5 years.

Hej Marianne

Tillykke med graden. Jeg er meget nysgerrig efter din ph.d afhandling. Er det muligt at få lov til at læse den?

Jeg sidder på Københavns Universitet og laver web og prøver at få indblik i hvordan vores kommende studerende tænker og bruger sociale medier og det lyder som at dit projekt kan bibringe rigtig gode erkendelser.

Vh

Congrats on both the Ph.D. and the baby. I just found your blog because I was looking for a proper citation for your Ph.D. dissertation and it came up first on google.

I remember the lecture you did about social networking several years ago at my gymnasium, and it really did make an impression on me. My best congratulations to you obtaining your PH.D. and looking forward to reading more of your extensive research and articles. 🙂 You’re doing a great job.

Hello Malene,
I’m half French half Danish, and it’s my 83 years old grand ant who talked to me about your thesis. She rocks!!!
I will read it with pleasure, I myself wrote a small thesis about manga fans and its community on the internet (espacially on Dailymotion).
Can wait to read what you wrote

congratulations! And good luck with the new little one. One big project after another. If a baby isn’t motivating, I don’t know what is.
