I am an associate professor at the Department of Politics and Society at the University of Aalborg, Denmark. My main research interest is with issues of inclusion and exclusion, populism and democracy in Europe and beyond, forms of political extremisms and civil society counter-reactions hereto. I have conducted studies on the right-wing populism in Denmark, Italy and Austria, recently also considering the mainstream parties’ counter-strategies at national and EU level, the role of Islam in the West and more broadly the civil society responses to growing anti-immigration, and populist ethno-nationalism.
