Interests and experience

Politics in the Post-Soviet region; Authoritarianism and democracy research; Understanding of democracy; Russian language and influence; Misinformation and propaganda;

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

  • Politics in the post-Soviet space, particularly the role of Russian propaganda and the perception of Russian language.
  • 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.
