Kim Strandberg

Ph.D. in political science since late 2006 at the department of social sciences at the Åbo Akademi University Vasa.

Postdoctoral researcher (Academy of Finland) until end of 2013.

My research mainly focuses on politics on the internet. My dissertation titled “Parties, Candidates and Citizens On-Line: Studies of Politics on the Internet” focused on how both political actors and citizens use the internet for political purposes and what consequences this activity might have for politics in general in modern representative democracies.
