معرفی
Rasmus Fredslund Stenderup serves as a PhD fellow and Assistant lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Social Sciences, affiliated with the Public Administration and Policy research group. His work focuses on bureaucratic interactions between citizens and public organizations.
He holds an MSc in Political Science from the University of Copenhagen, awarded in June 2022 after completing studies from February 2020 to May 2022.
Stenderup's research centers on 'bureaucratic sludge'—identifying when administrative processes create costly citizen experiences through design-based methodology and mixed methods. He explores debureaucratization, organizational practices, and administrative burdens to improve public service delivery.
His recent publications analyze citizen attitudes toward documentation requirements and employee-driven case handling improvements, advancing understanding of compliance burdens versus program integrity in public service policy.
No scientific awards were documented in the source materials.
He has supervised BA theses in public administration (Fall 2022) and taught 'Bureaucratic Hassles: Friction in people-state interactions' (Fall 2023), while conducting peer reviews for Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Politica, and International Review of Administrative Sciences.
As an active member of the Public Administration and Policy research group, he collaborates with supervisors Peter Dahler-Larsen and Mogens Jin Pedersen on developing sludge-identification methodologies for public organizations.
