My academic focus has centred on two main pillars: i) international fisheries management, with an emphasis on enforcement and compliance issues; ii) relations between Russia and the West, primarily Norway, in the European North. Within these two pillars, my main interest has gradually narrowed in on the legal aspects of international fisheries management (law of the sea) and the identity aspects of Russian foreign policy. I also have some experience in international Arctic politics more widely. Since 2021, I hold the position as Secretary General of the democracy and human rights advocacy group and think tank the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, but I maintain an adjunct professorship at FNI, contributing to projects on Svalbard politics and international ocean governance.
