I am an associate professor of political science in the Department of Media and Social Sciences at the University of Stavanger, Norway. I am also a research associate at the Cluster of Excellence: Politics of Inequality, University of Konstanz, Germany. I received my Ph.D. in political science with an emphasis on comparative politics and public policy from University of Missouri, USA.
My research is concerned with themes relating to elite behavior, political representation, gender and politics, and policy processes. My work has appeared in American Political Science Review, British Journal of Political Science, Electoral Studies, European Journal of Political Research, Journal of European Public Policy, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Political Behavior, Political Communication, and elsewhere. My first book, Political Stability, Democracy and Agenda Dynamics in Turkey, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2020. |
