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).
I am also associated researcher at the Department of Political Science of the University of Zurich.
My research addresses how family origins, political socialization, and other life experiences impact citizens' political preferences and political behaviour, whereby I specifically focus 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, University of Leiden, and the University of Lucerne.
