Welcome to my website

My name is Andreas (Jon Ingmar) Fagerholm and I am a researcher in political science (comparative politics).

My current research is mainly focused on political parties (as actors in elections, legislatures and governments). I am also interested in political methodology (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods) and in the history and philosophy of political science.

My hobbies include, in no particular order, travelling, groundhopping, hiking, nature & fishing, cooking & food, science, history, militaria, and railways & trainspotting (esp. tram and rapid transit systems).

I do not use social media (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.). If you want to contact me, send an e-mail.

I am also obsessed with making lists, so here is one of my three most recently read books:

Tommila, Päiviö and Salokangas, Raimo:
Sanomia kaikille (Edita, 1998)

— Press history.

Dennett, Daniel C.:
Breaking the spell (Penguin Books, 2006)

— Religion.

Lehtisaari, Katja et al.:
Median keskittyminen ja mediasisältöjen moninaisuus Suomessa (Valtioneuvoston kanslia, 2024)

— Communication.
