I hold a PhD in political science from the Department of Political Science, University of Gothenburg. My research is about historical trends in voting and public opinion, with a particular interest in matters of class and union membership. I tend to work with large-scale data sets and statistical methods.

I defended my dissertation The Decline of Class Voting in Sweden 1968-2014 in June 2019. You can download parts of it here. If you want a physical copy, send me an e-mail.

I have left academia, but I am conducting research part time on a freelance basis. If you have a project where someone with my interests and competencies might be of use, feel welcome to contact me.
