<p>I am a PhD researcher at the Department of Political Science, Karlstad University, Sweden. I hold degrees in Political Science and Global Studies, and the former Editorial Manager for the journal <em>Political Psychology</em>. My previous work includes research on the psycho-political features of far-right movements and actors, as well as on social media massification and radicalisation processes. My current research focuses on the relationship between far-right discourses, social media technologies and politics, artificial intelligence, and the consequences of the entertainment culture in contemporary politics. My PhD research is funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanities and Society (WASP-HS).</p>
