Media and engagement

I am often approached for comment by the media and am an avid op-ed writer. If you are a journalist working on issues related to my areas of expertise, do not hesitate to get in touch.

See me here in SVT's new dating program Silent Attraction that centers on the growing gender gap in political preferences.
