My name is Anders W. Edvardsson. I'm originally from Sweden, moved permanently to the US in 2011, and have been a U.S. citizen since 2016. I was the first in my family to attend university and have a BA/MA in history from Uppsala University (Sweden) and an MA/PhD in politics from the Catholic University of America (Washington, D.C.). My academic research interests are political theory, American Exceptionalism, US Conservatism, and European politics. I have earlier taught at Northern Virginia Community College and Keiser University.
