About
I’m an Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at the Oslo Business School at Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet).
My primary research interest is how public policies and institutions influence political behavior and attitudes, with a particular emphasis on gender differences. My research has been published in journals such as the American Journal of Political Science and the Journal of Politics.
I have previously been a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Research, an Associate Professor at Oslo New University College, and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. I received my PhD in Political Science from the London School of Economics (LSE).
I'm a member of the Young Academy of Norway.
