I am a Professor at the Department of Political Economy, King’s College London and the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen. My current research analyzes interest groups and lobbying, political representation, social media, gender, democratic legitimacy, public policy and political parties. I am the Principal Investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant: “Advocacy in Digital Democracy: Use, Impact & Democratic consequences” (see King’s College news story) and a DFF funded project on “Inequality in Social Media Representation”. I also serve as co-editor of the official journal of the Political Organizations and Parties section of the American Political Science Association: Interest Groups and Advocacy.

| Featured Publication In this new paper that I co-authored with Stefanie Reher and Dimiter Toshkov in the European Journal of Political Research, we study the links between public opinion and policy on 20 policy issues across 31 European countries. It shows substantial levels of congruence between public opinion and policy-making, but finds less evidence for a relationship between (electoral) institutions and the link between public opinion and policy.  |
