In my research I have a preference for an ethnographic discourse analytical approach and for research that has societal relevance. I see my research as informed by passionate rationalism, a tragic humanism and a strong commitment not only to understand society but help improve it.
In the last decade I focused on the new right and in particular how different new richt actors use digital media. In this context I wrote on new right activism, radical right politicians and parties and new right intellectuals.
In the next decade I want to focus on algorithms, interaction and power from a digital discourse analytical approach.
I (co-) supervise several phd's in relation to my main research topics
