For media – expert list

Expertise at the Department of Political Science

På svenska

Are you a journalist and going to write about something that touches on our subjects? Then you are welcome to turn to researchers at our department. Use our experts as a sounding board or for comments – political scientists at Lund University can comment on current topics from different angles.

Many researchers are easier to reach by email than by phone. E-mails to all political scientists are name.surname(at)svet.lu.se, or on our contact page here:

Do you need a picture of one of our researchers? Several of them have a high-resolution profile picture on their personal pages (found under the heading "High resolution image"). The researchers who frequently appear in the media also have press photos in Lund University’s image bank, which you can find here:
