I am currently a Researcher at the Department of Government at Uppsala University. In 2020-2022 I was a guest researcher at Nijmegen Centre for Border Research, Radboud University. I am an affiliated researcher at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs since 2018.
My research focuses on issues relating to sovereignty, security, and public policy. Emprically, I have studied policies aimed at regulating and controlling borders in Europe (mainly Schengen borders), both in my dissertation What's in a Line? Making Sovereignty Through Border Policy (on the Norway-Russia border) and in my postdoc project on the use of internal border controls in the Schengen area.
My current projects include What will we eat? Food as security politics in Sweden 1900-2025 (as PI), which investigates the role of food as a security & defence policy issue, and Governing through Consultants, in which we investigate the use of in-house consultants in public agencies from a public ethos perspective.
