Research interests

  • Local organization in relation to global challenges
  • Prevention of terrorism, extremism and radicalization
  • Organization, management and neo-institutional theory
  • Cross-sector collaboration as a phenomenon and process

Research projects

  • Nordic Multiagency Approaches to Handling Extremism: Policies, Perceptions and Practices (2018-2021). The research project focuses Nordic multiagency approaches to handling extremism. More specifically, it analyses the policies and laws that underpin such work, perceptions of it among practitioners and the practices conducted in multiagency structures
  • The project Pan-Nordic and Transnational Dimensions of Nordic Right-Wing Extremism (2020-2022) sheds light on historical and contemporary research on the transnational organization of right-wing extremism in the Nordics.

The Segerstedt Institute

I work as deputy director at the Segerstedt Institute - a national resource center with the aim to spread knowledge and methods to prevent recruitment to violent extremism (www.segerstedtinstitutet.gu.se). In addition to various research activities, I support the director in organizing the institute's activities.

Further commitments

  • Expert Consultant in the International Consensus Guidelines Committee for the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Extremist Violence. CPN-PREV is an evidence-based and practitioner-centered network aiming at promoting Canadian and international leadership from multiple sectors and disciplines in countering violent radicalization (https://cpnprev.ca).
  • Safe City Advisor in Nordic Safe Cities. Within the framework of this initiative, I help Nordic municipalities to develop their preventive work against violent extremism.
