Øyvind Skorge

I'm a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Research in Oslo.

During 2017-18, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and affiliated with the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS).

I received a PhD in Political Science from the London School of Economics (LSE) in 2016, where I was supervised by David Soskice and Jonathan Hopkin.

I study gender inequality in politics and the labor market. Additionally, I do research on immigration attitudes, historical democratization, and political institutions.

See the CV and research pages for further details.
