I am a Professor of Sociology at the University of Bergen and a former Heisenberg Fellow of the German Research Foundation. My work is driven by a strong commitment to bridging sociological theory and empirical research. I strive to translate abstract theoretical insights into clear empirical research designs—and to let empirical findings, in turn, inform and reshape theoretical understanding. This reciprocal exchange ensures that my research remains grounded in both conceptual clarity and empirical substance, engaging with foundational questions as well as pressing contemporary issues.

My approach to social theory is marked by multiparadigmatic openness and interdisciplinary dialogue. I engage deeply with fundamental concepts in social science, such as action theory, double contingency, social order, and institutions. I am particularly interested in bridging sociological imagination with analytical rigor, combining the strengths of formal methods with sociology’s rich theoretical traditions.

Empirically, I focus on  issues such as collective action, prosocial behavior, moral judgment, and social inequality, often addressing themes in political sociology, including discrimination, right-wing populism, and class-based behavioral differences. Methodologically, I employ a range of approaches—from experiments and survey research to Bayesian modeling—grounding empirical work in rigorous theoretical frameworks.

Current Teaching

I currently teach sociological theory in the modules SOS132 (Ã… forklare sosial handling; BA-level), (Sosiologiske teoritradisjonar; MA-level), and SOS121 (Klassiske sosiologiske teoriar; BA-level). 

Teaching Experience

I have taught many courses at the University of Leipzig and also served as a guest lecturer at the University of Bern and the ETH Zurich. This encompasses both lectures as well as seminars at the BA- and MA-level. Following are titles of selected courses in my portfolio:

• Foundations of Sociology II (lecture on basic paradigms in sociological theory; BA-level)
• Selected Topics in Doing Sociological Theory (lecture on sociological theory; BA-level)
• Constructing Theories and Deriving Hypotheses (lecture on sociological theory; MA-level)
• Meaning and Culture: Introduction to Cognitive Sociology (seminar; BA-level)
• Interaction Rituals with Durkheim, Goffman, and Collins (seminar; BA-level)
• Neofunctionalism: Alexander and Münch (seminar; BA-level)
• Social Stratification and Social Action (seminar; BA-level)
• Strategic Rationality: Theory, Empirics, and Alternatives (seminar; MA-level)

Dear students: If you are interested in any of these topics, just email me and we see how it fits to our study programmes at the department!
