My research is situated in the field of political behavior. I examine how citizens' personal experiences with issues such as economic inequality, unemployment, other ethnicities, and crime shape their behavior, perceptions, attitudes, and mental health. This means I study topics like citizens' trust in the state and each other, their attitudes toward immigration and economic redistribution, their potential environmentally friendly behavior, as well as their life satisfaction and mental health. A significant part of my research deals with discrimination, and I am affiliated with the Center for Experimental-Philosophical Studies of Discrimination (CEPDISC), where I serve as deputy center director. My research is interdisciplinary, drawing on perspectives from political science, social psychology, economics, epidemiology, and political philosophy.
I primarily teach methods, statistics, and political behavior/political geography in the political science program at Aarhus University. Additionally, I have taught in the social sciences program at the University of Greenland, the Flexible Master’s Program in Public Management at SDU/AU, and conducted courses for the Danmarks Evalueringsinstitut and Dansk Industri.
I have authored textbooks on statistical software (Stata availble in Danish / English) and contributed to textbooks on public administration. I supervise theses in the political science and economics programs (Public Policy specialization).
