About me

I received my PhD from the University of Oslo in 2019. Since February 2026 I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Research, Oslo. Here, I do research on political behaviour, political parties, and civil society, with a special emphasis on the role of social groups (e.g. social class) in politics. My work on this and other topics has been published in journals such as the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, and the Journal of Politics (full list of publications here). I am also author of the book Party Families in Western Europe (2023) and I comment on politics for various news outlets. Previously I have been a visiting researcher at Aarhus University, University of Oxford, and Royal Holloway, University of London.
