Francesco Raffaelli

I am a PhD student at DPIR at the University of Oxford.

Research

My fields of research are:

• Identity Politics, Comparative Political Economy, Political Behaviour 
• Surveys and Experiments

My research focuses on the fields of identity politics, comparative political economy, and political behaviour, with a geographical focus on Western European countries. 

I am interested in studying:

1. the formation processes of positive attitudes towards migration phenomena and immigrants, 
2. the politicisation of new issues related to gender, sexuality, and race, and; 
3. the formation of attitudinal bundles across different political dimensions. Methodologically, my research employs surveys, laboratory experiments, and causal inference.

I hold a BSc in Economic and Social Sciences and a MSc in Politics and Policy Analysis from Bocconi University (Milan, Italy).
