About

I'm a professor in political science and my work focuses on questions related to legislatures, political financing, political recruitment and political decentralization. Currently I'm the PI of an ERC funded project called SUCCESS "Gender-Gap in Political Endurance: a novel political inclusion theory". Previously, I was the project leader of Money Talks - Gendered Electoral Financing in Democratic and Democratizing States, funded by the Recsearch Council of Norway (FRIPRO). My work can be found in various journals such as American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Politics and Gender, Political Studies, Democratization, International Political Science Review, Representation and Journal of Modern Africa Studies.
