Øyvind Bugge Solheim


I am a Senior Research Fellow at The Institute for Social Research (ISF), where I study Scandinavian right-wing extremism on social media as part of the FREXO-project. My research focuses on the social networks of right-wing extremists, their ideology, and their ability to mobilize followers and supporters. In addition, I WAS part of the research group at the Norwegian Holocaust Center studying antisemitism and islamophobia in Norway. In my PhD I studied how terrorist attacks affect attitudes towards immigration and immigrants. I have also worked for the secretary to valglovutvalget, the Norwegian Election Act Commission, which presented its report (NOU:2020: 6 Frie og hemmelige valg — Ny valglov) on May 27, 2020.

This page is mainly used to present my research which you’ll find under publications above. In addition, I’ve added some example R-code described in Norwegian inspired by questions from the facebook group for political science students at UiO using R. In addition, I keep a library of LLM-written descriptions of my own code to make reuse easier. Finally, I’ve written a few blog posts concerning Norwegian electoral law and the possible consequences of different changes to these laws. As a small Easter egg, the page hosts some simple tables that I use and that may be useful for other Premier League fantasy players as well.

Sometimes I also make the game kommundle.no about Norwegian municipal coats of arms.
