I study citizens' relationship with the public sector. I have published articles and book chapters on how the public organization of welfare services influences citizens' participation in the provision of services, their benefits from these services, and their political engagement.
In my current projects, I examine, among other things, how conscription affects citizens' civic engagement and political participation, how student involvement in primary schools impacts students' academic skills and future civic engagement, and how parents of schoolchildren are influenced by encouragement to contribute to their children's learning.
I teach subjects related to methods, public administration, public policy, political participation, and policy effects. I teach at the bachelor's and master's levels in Political Science, as well as public sector managers in the Flexible Master’s program in Public Management. I also supervise thesis students, Ph.D. candidates, and public managers working on master’s projects.
