Research overview
I am interested in the confluence of three forces. First, ethnic majorities and nations. Second, population shifts and politics: notably migration to western countries, which is linked to the globe's uneven demographic transition. Third, ideological change, in particular the development and institutionalisation of both left-liberal and right-populist ideas.
My work combines historical-sociological and quantitative political science methods.

I am interested in those whose projects align with my current research interest.
First, ethnic majorities and nations. Second, population shifts and politics: notably migration to western countries, which is linked to the globe's uneven demographic transition. Third, ideological change, in particular the development and institutionalisation of both left-liberal and right-populist ideas.
My work combines historical-sociological and quantitative political science methods. I cannot supervise anti-foundational, anti-scientific or post-analytic research.
