Presentation

I am a political sociologist specializing in the intersection of elite studies, civil society research, and relational sociology. My research primarily focuses on issues of power, legitimacy, ideology, morality, inequality, and democracy—topics I delve into as a postdoc in the “Moralities” project, led by PI Anders Sevelsted.

Methodologically, I employ a range of quantitative techniques, including multiple correspondence analysis, social network analysis, and sequence analysis, alongside machine learning approaches such as topic modeling. Additionally, my experience as a research assistant has allowed me to work extensively with qualitative methods, including interviews and discourse analysis.

My PhD dissertation from Roskilde University explored themes of inequality, democracy, and media use through a field sociological prism.

Primary research areas
  • Democracy and civil society studies    
  • Elite studies
  • Social stratification
