My Research
I work to show and strengthen the power of civil society.
I help the public and decision-makers understand the historical and present-day role of civil society in shaping European societies.
I study the moral elites.
Studying those that shape our collective imagination improves our collective understanding of who influences norms and policies – and how they could be different.
