Kim Zilliacus
Kim Zilliacus is senior lecturer in political science at the Swedish School of Social Science, University of Helsinki. He has been active in several international research and teaching projects involving environmental politics/policy, political participation and communication. Over the past ten years he has, e.g., developed a net-based course ‘Politics Online’, which provides critical knowledge about the implications of new media and the Internet within subfields of political science, communication, journalism and policy studies. In early 2013 he taught the course simultaneously at Monash University, University of Technology Sydney and University of Helsinki by means of combining online learning platforms with face-to-face teaching at each university. Kim Zilliacus’s interest in Nordic/Australasian politics ties in with his research in collaborative governance within a comparative New Zealand and Nordic context, which he has pursued with New Zealand colleagues since 2003.
