I am a Ph.D in Political Science. I defended my thesis in 2009 at Stockhom University. The thesis was about leader ideal in two Swedish parties (the Social democratic party and the Liberal party). As a post doc I was running a project about leader recruitment processes in three Swedish parties. Today I am part of two different projects. One is a study of collectivistic forms of leadership among principals in schools as well as among leaders in Swedish parties. The other project investigate social media and political leadership.
