Description
Won a 75000 SEK grant from the Wahlgren Foundation to investigate how Eurosceptic parties in Denmark and the UK disseminate content across social media (Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube).

They may paradoxically contribute to the integration, through contestation, of European public spheres. In collaboration with with Anamaria Dutceac Segesten (Lund University)
