Research interests

My research primarily focuses on the electoral support for extreme-right parties in Europe, as well as topics related to voting behaviour, party competition, the effect of actual, and attitudes towards, quality of government affect voting and political behaviour, and environmental politics.

More specifically, I am currently working on research projects which aim to explain variation in the electoral support of extreme-right parties across European countries. A single-authored article which explains cross-national variation in the electoral support for extreme-right parties in Europe is forthcoming at European Political Science Review. 

I am also working on projects related to attitudes towards concrete policies on climate change. I have recently published an article in Environmental Politics, with Christoph Arndt and Daphne Halikiopoulou, in which we show what drives attitudes towards specific climate change policies and who is willing to pay more to protect the environment. Lastly, I am currently exploring the effect of urban vs rural divide on political and social trust.
