Welcome to my page! I am a researcher and lecturer in political science at Linnaeus University. Previously, I have held positions as a Fulbright scholar at Harvard University as well as a visiting researcher and committee secretary in the Swedish Parliament.

My research interests include ethics, democratic governance, and pedagogical innovation in higher education. I tend to combine normative questions (what ought we to do) with empirical questions (what do we do) in order to inform political, democratic, and social practices. I bring these interests together in my new project, Saving of Swedovia, where I lead the development of a game designed to explore ethical dilemmas during climate disasters. My work has been published in international journals such as British Journal of Political Science, Governance, Politics and Governance, Crime, Law and Social Change, and Journal of Political Science Education.
