I defended my PhD Dissertation!

I successfully defended PhD dissertation titled “Old Foe, New Friend: Rhetorical responses of mainstream parties towards a radical right party” last 25 April 2025. It was nerve-racking but ultimately a fun experience. I’m grateful to the engaging discussion with my opponent, Assoc. Prof. Frederik Hjorth, and my committe whose questions pushed my thinking further. Thanks to my supervisors, Hanna Bäck and Jon Polk, and to everyone who supported me throughout my PhD journey! Here is the link to my dissertation abstract.
