My research interest is on the role of tax havens and offshore financial centres (OFCs) within an international political economy. Since March 2015, I have been employed at the University of Bergen as a phd-student. My phd-project examines the role of the British administration in the set-up of tax havens in former colonies and dependencies in the 1960s and 1970s. The aim is to contribute with historical knowledge of an understudied phenomenon despite its central position in global finance. I was positioned in London as an honourable research fellow at The City, University of London from August 2016 to June 2017. My work aligns with a critical hermeneutic tradition within history building on perspectives from International Political Economy (IPE)
