Undervisnings- og vejledningsområder

Min forskning og undervisning fokuserer på den offentlige forvaltning og trækker på psykologiske teorier og eksperimentelle metoder. 

I 2019 til 2022 arbejder jeg med forskningsprojektet: "The Behavioral Citizen", der er støttet af Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond under Sapere Aude-programmet. Vi studerer, hvordan borgerne opfatter den offentlige service. Kom og leg med: Jeg er altid på udkig efter gode studentermedhjælpere, så kontakt mig hvis du er arbejdssom, god til R, vil lege med eksperimenter eller noget lignende.

BEPAL er adfærdsforskning og evidens til gavn for borgerne og demokratiet. Min forskning er udgivet i tidsskrifter som American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, Journal of Politics, Public Administration Review, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Public Choice, Judgment and Decision Making, Political Behavior, Public Administration, and more.

Jeg er fagkoordinator i fagene Offentlig Forvaltning 1 og 2. Jeg vejleder specialer inden for studiet af offentlig politik, offentlige organisationer og politiske adfærd i almindelighed. Særlig med henblik på brug af kvantitative metoder og eksperimentelle designs. Send mig en mail, hvis du mener, at jeg vil være en relevant vejleder på din opgave.
