Background
As part of the UiO-PRIO MA programme, I wrote my thesis in Peace and Conflict Studies at PRIO the spring of 2022.
Employing quantitative methods, my thesis project explores the mechanisms linking democratic erosion and subsequent mass mobilization in defence of democracy. Essentially, I ask when citizens will take to the streets to defend democracy. The thesis title is: Protests in Defence of Democracy: Exploring the Heterogeneous Mobilizing Effects of Democratic Erosion.
At PRIO I have also involved with the project Women Ambassadors in the UN Security Council: A Decade in Review, where I coded and buildt datasets, as well as assisted with the project's methodological development.
