Janina Wildfeuer is Associate Professor in Communication and Information Studies at the University of Groningen, NL - and a #multimodalist with a multi-faceted background in linguistics, semiotics, discourse analysis, and media studies. With more than 15 years of experience in project-work with innate public interest, her main interest lies in understanding how audio-visual communication shapes our world now and in the future - and what steps we might take to make that future as safe and comprehensible as possible. Janina is a major contributor to the current field of multimodality studies, with theoretical and methodological developments and work in corpus-analytical and empirically oriented projects. She is Chief Editor of the journal Visual Communication, Associate Editor for the speciality section Multimodality of Communication with Frontiers in Communication, and book series editor for Pathways to Multimodality with de Gruyter.
