Public opinion and international conflict;

I am currently writing my Master’s thesis in Political Science at the University of Oslo in association with PRIO. My current research interests fall within three main areas:

  • Public opinion relating to conflict, particularly how populations react to war and military escalation.
  • Authoritarian politics and how democratic values are perceived in relation to authoritarian states.
  • The understanding of democracy in Norway by the population.

At the core of my research lies an interest in people and the values they hold when they view and evaluate others.
