 <\/p>\n

Role: Lecturer in Comparative Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n

School: Philosophy, Politics and Economics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Department: Politics and International Relations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Theme: Political Behaviour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expertise<\/strong>: In my first strand of work, I focus on poverty reduction and its implications for political behaviour. In the second, I study whether and how changes in the religion market transform electoral politics. I often draw on insights from formal theory in combination with data science applications and applied econometrics.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

About me: As a first-generation, non-white scholar from the Global South, my work is driven by my interest in promoting social, political, and economic development. Some of the questions I have tackled in my studies include: Do politicians refrain from adopting policies to protect women in constituencies with higher levels of conservatism? Does the rise of religious minorities transform electoral politics? Can vulnerability reduction prompt the poor to turn out to vote? Under what conditions do anti-poverty schemes generate long-lasting electoral returns? My previous work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Journal of Politics, the British Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Political Science Research and Methods, and Research & Politics, among others. I completed my postgraduate studies at the University of Zurich and the University of S\u00e3o Paulo (USP). I hold a BA in social sciences from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil, where I started my journey in science.
