Profile

My educational background is in political science and I have many years of experience working as a civil servant. I started the PhD education in 2023 with a wish to bridge my insight and experience from practice with the world of research.

Research

My PhD project is on the role of local government in national policy formulation and implementation processes. I investigate, inter alia, the Danish "ghetto law" from 2018. My research is based on qualitative data and methods, primarily documents and interviews.

Teaching activities

In the autumn 2023 I have taught classes in public administration. In the spring 2025 I will teach a new master's seminar on the political interplay between central and local government.
