Charlotte Kuberka

I am a second-year PhD student in Political Behavior at the Department of Government at LSE. My supervisors are Melissa Sands, Sara Hobolt and Florian Foos.

In my thesis, I aim to explore how individuals’ local environments influence political behavior, using micro-level geospatial data to disentangle the material impacts of rising regional inequality and the unique social identities shaped by the spatial divide between urban and rural citizens.
