eleonora hristova:
Researcher, Writer & Workshop Facilitator

I work with stories:
Writing them, researching them, and creating spaces where others can tell their own.
Research
I explore how we write, learn, and create in the age of AI.
I am particularly interested in human-AI collaboration, critical AI literacy, and human agency, and in how we can develop more human-centered approaches to integrating AI into learning and creative practices.
I completed my MS in Learning, Digitalisation and Sustainability in Education at Jönköping University in Sweden in 2026.

- Master’s Thesis: “Writing with AI: Authorship, Creativity, and Agency in Higher Education”
- Conference Paper: “Writing Community: Co-Authored Narratives and Participatory Storytelling in Marginalized Youth Groups” (18th Global Communication Association Conference)


Teaching & Workshops
I design and facilitate learning experiences around creative writing, journalism, storytelling, and AI literacy for university students, young people, and community groups.
- Creative Writing & Journalism Course – AUBG Educational Summer Camp (July 2026)
- Creative & Participatory Writing Workshops for adults, youth, and children in Berlin and Bulgaria
- AI and Writing Workshops with university students.
Writer, Journalist & Content Manager
I write and develop stories across education, AI, culture, fashion, and sustainability. I serve as the Senior Content Manager at the American University in Bulgaria and Fashion Editor at the Berlin-based magazine The Columbist.
My work spans long-form features and interviews, editorial and content strategy, SEO, and higher education communications. I also moderate panels and conversations, bringing together voices from academia, creative industries, and professional communities.

My Background
My work spans the fields of education, media and communications, social inclusion, and community-building.
I completed my MS in Learning, Digitalisation and Sustainability in Education at Jönköping University in Sweden in 2026, where my research focused on the relationship between generative AI, writing, creativity, authorship, and human agency. I also hold a BA in Media, Communication and Cultural Studies from Newcastle University in the UK.
Alongside my academic work, I have built a career across higher education, journalism, digital communications, and community-based projects in Bulgaria and Berlin. This informs my research interest in the relationship between technology and people, and in how we can create more human-centered approaches to learning, creativity, and AI.
