I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science, Aarhus University. My research seeks to understand what it means to be part of a national, political community. 

To answer this question, I study the political and cultural forces that define who ‘we’ are and create boundaries of belonging. For instance, I analyse political discourse, citizenship policies, societal norms and popular conceptions of membership and their consequences for different types of individuals. Much of my prior work has revolved around immigration and national belonging. My ongoing research expands to political marginalization across dimensions of gender, class, and ethnic minority/majority status.

I use a variety of methods crossing the quantitative-qualitative spectrum, such as computational and in-depth qualitative text analysis, survey experiments, and qualitative interviews. Read more about my research here.

I cherish and grow from interdisciplinary exchanges and am a member of the Young Academy under the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. From 2025-2026, I was also part of the Young Academy’s Council as the speaker on research politics.
