Oscar Winberg

Oscar Winberg is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS), University of Turku, Finland, specializing in political and media history with a focus on United States politics and television news dynamics. His institutional contact is ohbwin@utu.fi.

His research examines political history, media history, and television politics through lenses of populism, gender representation, and democratic processes. Key interests include the evolution of political communication, media's role in electoral crises, and inclusive frameworks for political masculinities, particularly within U.S. contexts.

Recent publications (2022-2024) analyze pivotal moments like the 2020 U.S. presidential election and Congress's influence on television news. These works reveal persistent themes: media-driven polarization, populist discourse strategies, gendered political narratives, and institutional stress points in democratic systems. His scholarship consistently bridges historical analysis with contemporary political challenges.
