about

I am a political historian, author of Archie Bunker for President: How One Television Show Remade American Politics, and currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies and the John Morton Center for North American Studies at the University of Turku. I hold a PhD in history from Åbo Akademi University. In the United States, I have been affiliated with the American Political History Institute at Boston University.

My work has appeared in a variety of journals and popular outlets such as the Washington Post, Time, and The Conversation. I have also been interviewed about my work on public broadcasting in the United States, Finland, and Sweden.
