Kort om meg

Thesen holds a PhD in Political Science from Aarhus University. His research concentrates on the interplay between parties, media and public opinion as well as on the political influence of organized interests. While most of his research aim at general contributions to the discipline, he also has experience with specific policy areas such as welfare, energy, fisheries and transport. Thesen is currently principal investigator of a comparative "big data" project studying the influence of news on party support in 5 countries.
