I am an Associate Professor (tenured) of Political Science at the Department of Political Science at Aarhus University. Prior to Aarhus, I have been an SNF Ambizione (2019-2023) and postdoctoral fellow (2015-2019) at the University of Zurich. 

My major research interest focuses on trying to understand how social norms shift in our societies, in particular which role extreme parties play for the values and social norms in our societies. 

In my research, I seek to address research questions which are relevant to both the academic as well as the public debate. My studies are primarily empirically oriented using research designs which seek to rigorously test theoretical arguments mostly with (quasi-)experimental designs. They are published in the American Journal of Political Science, the American Political Science Review, the British Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics and the European Journal of Political Research amongst others.
