Academic interests

My PhD-project employs in-depth interviews to study how ordinary citizens reason about politics, and how different forms of media use and socially differentiatied information environments feed such capacities. Different forms of class based primary and secondary socialization are explored as determinants of the former. 

  • Social inequality and "cultural class analysis"
  • Political cognitions
  • Media environments and repertoires
  • Socialization
  • Qualitative interviewing
