I’m an Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at Gothenburg University in Sweden.

My research interests include coalitions; democratic attitudes; formal modeling and game theory; gender dynamics; parties and elections; and political economy and behavior. I’m particularly interested in 1) how the national economy and institutional dynamics affect individuals’ conceptualizations of democracy as well as their preferred democratic institutions, and 2) how gender and other forms of biases among individuals affect politics and the economy.

From August 2026, I will be leading ECONENGAGE, funded by an ERC Starting Grant. The project will examine the dynamics between national and individual economic conditions and investigate how national economic improvement affects individuals’ consumption of political information; their propensity to become politically misinformed; their degrees of ideological entrenchment; and their democratic attitudes and preferences. Feel free to read more about my project here.

Aside from academic life, I enjoy cooking, playing the piano, knitting, and exploring food, music, and culture in different cities. Any suggestions on new knitting patterns, recipes, and/or musical events would be much appreciated!

I am passionate about fostering congenial and supportive academic environments and enhancing opportunities for junior female and/or minority scholars as well as scholars from traditionally underprivileged backgrounds. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have and any ideas! I’m also happy to hear about individual experiences and lend a listening ear – please feel free to reach out!
