Welcome

My name is Øyvind Kalnes and I work as an assistant professor in political science at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. This blog presents a bit of what I do, both within research and teaching. At the present time mainly in the field of Media and Politics, both at the national and international level. My apologies for potentially sowing confusion with the bilangual character of the blog, as some of my work and teaching is in Norwegian.

I took my Cand.polit.-degree at the University of Bergen in 1990), with Comparative Politics as major subject. After that I worked as assistant professor at the Institute for Comparative Politics in Bergen. In 1995 started working in my present position at Lillehammer University College, which later merged with Hedmark University College into Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences.

In the fall of 2007 I was visiting scholar at the University of Wollongong and visited the University of California, Berkeley during Winter 2014/15. Most recently I was a Visiting Scholar at Royal Holloway, University of London in the spring semester of 2019.
