Short description

I am an associate professor of law, and work specifically with national reception and production of EU law. I am currently working primarily on a project about how Norwegian jurists have thought about the relationship between national law and EEA law respectively. I combine qualitative studies of Norwegian EEA literature with data about the social position of central actors on the Norwegian legal field. In addition, I continue working on themes from my dissertation as well as other questions about the relationship between national law and EU law.

I hold a law degree (2019) and a PhD (2022) from the University of Copenhagen. In my thesis, titled "Without Verona Walls. The Production of Danish European Law 1973-2020", I deal with the social reception of EU law between Danish jurists. Using Bourdieu's notions of field and capital, I seek to explain the so-called "European integration" as a question of national struggles over symbolic dominance.

In addition to my position at HINN, I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, and Global Research Fellow at iCourts - Centre of Excellence for International Courts, Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen.
