Researcher for the Project POLAR

Vita

Cristian is a postdoctoral researcher in the ERC project POLAR (Polarization and its discontents: does rising economic inequality undermine the foundations of liberal societies?) at the chair for Social Stratification and Social Policy since January 2024. His work in the project focuses on social cohesion and support for democracy. Cristian obtained his PhD in November 2023 at the University of Salamanca (Spain). He studied the individual and contextual drivers of political elites' perceptions and preferences for his doctoral thesis (2023). Before joining POLAR, Cristian was a Latin American Elites project member at the Institute for Iberoamerican Studies from the University of Salamanca. He studied Political Science (BA) and Latin American Studies (MA) in Mexico and Spain and did research visits at the Institute for Future Studies (Stockholm) and Central European University (Budapest). His research interests lie primarily in the intersection between social inequalities and unequal representation. His research has been published in Current Sociology, Legislative Studies Quarterly, Spanish Journal of Sociology, and Journal of Politics in Latin America.
