I am a
senior researcher in the research group for migration and transnationality at
Norwegian Social Research, NOVA.
I hold a PhD in political science from the
University of Oslo, Norway.
My areas of research interest cover European integration, EU migration policy, national migration policy in selected European countries, national identity, urban studies, immigrant organisations and theories on democracy. Earlier studies have dealt with multilateral institutions such as the EU and NATO. I have always had a particular interest in German politics, and have written a PhD thesis on German migration policy in the period between 1990 and 2004. In recent years I have been working on Norwegian nationalism and cultural studies. Since joining NOVA in 2008, I have worked on the link between welfare and migration at both national and European levels. I have also studied the European border control regime.
I am
currently working on a postdoctoral project: “Immigrant Organisations in Oslo –
Participation in Local Democracy”. The Oslo City Council through Kunnskap Oslo funds the project. I began
working on the project in January 2011 and will finish it in December 2013. In
this project examine how immigrant organisations participate in the local
democracy in Oslo.
