New researcher at the University of Bergen

June 9, 2022Written by PROTECT

PROTECT and the University of Bergen-team is lucky to have Lisa-Marie Måseidvåg Selvik as our newest researcher!

Lisa-Marie is a Ph.d. Candidate at the Department of Comparative Politics at the University of Bergen. Her PhD project analyses how civil society actors attempt to advance democratic rights in African democracies, by focusing on the policy-issue of ‘citizen’s right to information’.

Lisa-Marie holds a Master’s degree in Political science and a Bachelor’s degree in International relations from the University of Oslo.

Now, she works as a researcher in the project and explores the transversal dimensions in the project’s deliverables across work packages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. She will write a report about the inter-plays between norms, institutional architectures, and public attitudes and preferences on the right to international protection.
