My research focuses on power, participation, and democracy. I wrote my PhD on what happened when a state in Brazil let its citizens decide how budget funds should be spent, and I have studied citizen participation in poor urban areas.

In addition, I have researched the use of social media and digital tools for democratic participation, as well as children and young people’s participation in Norwegian counties and municipalities. Among other things, I have mapped the influence youth councils have on politicians’ decisions. Currently, I am investigating the feasibility of large-scale citizen participation.

I have been working as an applied researcher since 2008 and therefore have extensive experience evaluating a wide range of initiatives in the municipal and state sectors. I am proficient in both qualitative and quantitative methods. My specialties include case studies and the use of artificial intelligence in research.

Feel free to contact me if you would like a talk on participatory governance, or on the participation of children and young people. I am also happy to be interviewed by journalists!
