About
Current position: Espen D.H. Olsen (PhD, EUI) is Professor of Political Science, School of Business, Faculty of Social Sciences, Oslo Metropolitan University
I am a political scientist with an interest in public policy, political theory, citizenship, europeanization and the EU. I have published extensively on issues such as European citizenship, EU integration, European crises, citizen deliberation and Norwegian and European migration policy. In addition, I pursue more general interests in political theory as well as qualitative methods and process tracing.
Currently I am pursuing projects on citizenship and public administration, differentiated citizenship in European politics, autonomy and wriggle-room in citizenship issues for deeply integrated non-members to the EU and the development of Norwegian citizenship politics in the 2000s.
Prospective PhD students can contact me related to topics such as citizenship politics and the public sector, rights issues and a digital public sector, citizenship theory and politics, free movement, migration and EU integration.
