Teaching
During the autumn semester of 2025, I am the course coordinator for the introductory course Comparative Politics (1SK128) in Växjö and Kalmar, as well as for the course Sustainability and Multilevel Governance (1SK133).
Research
In my ongoing research project The Political Consequences of Mental Health: Gendered Effects of Mental Health Issues, funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond through the Pro Futura Scientia Fellowship Programme, I investigate how mental health affects political participation.
My other past and current research interests include radical right-wing parties in Europe, the political consequences of natural disasters, the political implications of misogyny, and societal challenges in rural areas.
