MATHILDE M. VAN DITMARS

Thanks for visiting my website! 

I am a political sociologist, working as assistant professor (RTD-A) at the Department of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Milan (La Statale). 

My research studies questions of political sociology, political behaviour, and gender and politics. More specifically, I addresses how family origins, political socialization, and other life experiences impact citizens' political preferences and behaviour, often focussing on differences and inequalities by gender and social class. At UniMi, I am member of the SOLID project.

I hold a PhD in Political and Social Sciences from the European University Institute, and have held academic and visiting positions at the GESIS Eurolab, DIW Berlin, FORS at the University of Lausanne, Leiden University, the University of Lucerne, and the University of Zurich.
