I am Professor at Stockholm University, where I hold the Chair in Sociology (since 2009).
I graduated from Stockholm University in 2002, and I have been a visiting scholar at Columbia University, Cornell University, Harvard University, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, Copenhagen University, and Utrecht University. I am a fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters.
My main areas of research are political sociology and ethnic relations. More specifically, I have a longstanding interest in studying radical right-wing parties and their voters, with a particular focus on explaining variation over time and/or across countries. I am currently the PI of the research project "Why do working class voters support the populist radical right?," funded by the Swedish Research Council. But I also have a broader interest in general sociology and political science.
