Stefano Sangiovanni

Hello, this is Stefano! 🌊

I’m a PhD candidate in Political Science at NASP, University of Milan under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Ceron and Prof. Giovanna Invernizzi. Currently, I am visiting the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES).

My research focuses on valence politics, analyzing how political parties shape political competition by balancing positional and valence-based strategies in electoral campaigns and parliamentary debates. I also study how negative valence shocks, such as political scandals, affect voter perceptions.

Methodologically, I use quantitative and computational methods, including text analysis, survey experiments, and large language models.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you're interested in connecting, collaborating or discussing research... and beyond!
