Presentation
I am an Associate Professor of political science. I primarily conduct research within the Swedish National Election Studies Program and am also a member of the Gothenburg Research Group on Elections, Public Opinion, and Political Behavior (GEPOP). I participate in the national research infrastructure CORS as the principal investigator of the part of the Swedish National Election Study that is included in The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES).
Areas of interest
My primary field of interest is political behavior, especially voter behavior and public opinion. In my research, I often study how the context surrounding an individual, such as family, networks, and neighborhood, influences political behavior and attitudes. My research focuses, among other things, on political preferences, electoral and non-electoral political participation, political trust, anxiety related to societal events, and generalized trust. I also have a great interest in issues related to survey methodology.
Current research
My primary research is carried out within the Swedish National Election Studies Program. I'm leading the project "No wo/man is an island: A social theory of economic voting, funded by the Swedish Research Council. In the project, I study how changes in voters' financial situation affect political preferences differently depending on the financial strength of the individual's social network. I have previously studied perceptions of electoral integrity among Swedish voters in the Swedish General Election 2022.
I have previously worked on the project "The politics of anxiety," where we investigated why there are differences in levels of sociotropic anxiety between men and women and what the consequences of this anxiety on political behavior are. As a follow-up to this project, we have also studied how gender identity is associated with political attitudes.
As a principal investigator at the SOM Institute, I headed the SOM survey of expatriated Swedes in 2014 and the local SOM survey in Gothenburg in 2016/17. Through these projects, I have studied political participation among expatriated Swedes and local political behavior in Gothenburg.
Teaching and tutoring
I primarily teach within the master's program in political science. I'm the course coordinator of the master's course" Applied Statistical Analysis" (SF2321). I'm also a member of the thesis examiner committee at the BA and MA levels in political science and the advisor of BA and MA theses in my fields of interest.
I regularly hold external presentations on Swedish voter behavior, voter turnout, and local democracy.
