My research interests are in political ethics, research methods, and the scholarship on teaching and learning. I tend to ask questions about the roots of (i)legitimacy, (in)efficiency, and (un)trustworthiness of democratic institutions. In my dissertation, "When Political Ethics Meets Political Practice: Virtues, Vices, and Dilemmas in the Swedish Parliament" (Monograph, se outline below), I combine these interests by exploring what the relevant political dilemmas are for parliamentarians, who mainly experience them, and how they handle them. I will defend my dissertation on September 27, 2024.
