Profile
Anne-Mette Sundahl developed an interest in pursuing postgrad studies during her stay as an intern at the Royal Danish Defence College’s Department of Military History and War Studies. Her research interests are within the fields of international relations and sociology with particular focus on the use of images in politics and personality cults. Her dissertation revolves around the phenomenon of postmodern personality cults. More specifically, she is examining how contemporary forms of production and use of leader images differ from the modern personality cults, and how new developments in communications media have contributed to a convergence between personality cults across different political settings.
