Kort om meg

My research is primarily positioned within post-foundational discourse theory, populism studies, and the sociology of intellectuals and expertise - with special attention to hegemonic practices, rhetoric, discourse, and knowledge production. I am currently leading a Nordic research project "Polarisation, Affect, Identity: Nordic Populism and the Media Landscape" (POL-AID) funded by the Research Council of Norway.

Dette forsker jeg på

I am currently working on populism in the Nordic countries, including mediatised political discourses and female party leaders.

I also work on intellectuals and experts and their roles in welfare state transformations.

Akademisk bakgrunn

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Media and Social Sciences, and Researcher at the Centre for Gender Studies, University of Stavanger. I have a PhD in Sociology from Lund University.
