Andreas Falkenberg
@andreasfalkenberg
PhD candidate and freelance journalist with expertise in sociology.
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (Dr.philos.) at the University of Oslo, where I am conducting an independent research project that critically examines Travis Hirschi’s social control theory. My research involves a comprehensive analysis of nationally representative Norwegian youth data, utilizing advanced quantitative methods such as polynomial regression and factor analysis. This work not only reflects my commitment to academic rigor but also my passion for understanding the complexities of social behavior.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have built a diverse career as a freelance journalist, contributing to various publications including Gateavisa and Natt&Dag. My experience in journalism has honed my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and engagingly, whether through writing original articles or developing communication materials for art education at Prosjektskolen. I thrive in environments that challenge my analytical skills and allow me to explore the intersection of sociology and media.
