She also studies questions in political economy, with a particular interest in the economic and institutional determinants of collective action and political movements, including the rise of nationalism and the development of labor organizations.

Nina is currently substituting for Prof. Moritz Kuhn. She was previously Junior Professor at TU Dortmund and Assistant Professor at the University of Southern Denmark. She holds a PhD from the University of Copenhagen.
