About
My research-interests can be related to «Urban governance» and «Public Administration», which are international and multi-disciplinary research fields where one studies the interactions between public sector, market and civil society. Key concepts in this research are e.g. collaboration, governance, co-creation, network governance and public sector innovation. In addition, parts of my research have focussed on political leadership, in particular in local governments in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Besides my own research, I act as Editor-in-Chief for «Nordic Journal of Innovation in the Public Sector».
I teach and supervise students in these topics, both at bachelor, master and PhD-level.
