Expertise at the Department of Political Science
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 you can find them 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").
