Etienne Ollion

Adjunct Professor

I am a junior research fellow at CNRS France and I visit LiU regularly for research and teaching.

Presentation

My research focuses on contemporary politics. I am currently writing about the transformation of European polities, tracing the rise (and recent fall) of career politicians at their top. I have been invited to lecture in several universities recently (Chicago, Berkeley, Institutos de Altos Estudios Sociales in Buenos Aires, ENS-Paris, ...).
