I am a PhD candidate in Political Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In my doctoral thesis, I explore the role of gender at the different levels of climate politics. In this context, the term “gender gap” is often used when describing phenomena such as different attitudes towards climate change, mitigation preferences or the underrepresentation of women on all levels of decision making.  In contributing to a better understanding of the nature and importance of the gender gap, I use different methodological approaches, including conjoint survey experiments and panel data analysis.

I have a background in political science and economics, including a Master of Science in Political Economy from the University of Konstanz (Germany). My research interests are gender in political science research, environmental and climate politics and policies as well as quantitative methods.
