Personal profile

Short presentation

I teach and write about diplomacy, technology, culture and ethnographic methods in International Relations. The syllabus for my course 'Political Ethnography' can be freely downloaded from the APSA homepage on interpretive methodology. https://connect.apsanet.org/interpretationandmethod/course-syllabi/

I currently work as Co-PI on a project funded by the Danish VELUX Foundation on the EU’s agenda to attain ‘digital sovereignty’. In 2023, I was awarded the Anthony Deos Early Career Award for the emerging scholar in the field of Diplomatic Studies by the International Studies Association (ISA).

My research has won international prizes and has been published in leading IR and social science journals and presses including Review of International Studies, European Journal of International Relations, International Affairs, Global Studies Quarterly, Millennium, OUP, Big Data & Society, Geopolitics and Qualitative Research.

The best way to get to know a writer is thorugh their texts. You find the references to mine here or on google scholar.
