Alessandra Basso
I am a philosopher of science interested in economics and the social sciences more broadly.
From September 2024, I am a Fellow at the LSE department of Philosophy, Logic, and Scientific Method. Before joining LSE, I was Newton International Fellow at the University of Cambridge's Department of History and Philosophy of Science. In Cambridge, I carried out a project on the epistemological foundations of inequality measurement. You can find out more about this project here.
I have a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Helsinki and I am part of the TINT Centre for the Philosophy of Social Science. Before my PhD, I completed a MSc at the London School of Economics. I have also studied economics as a Bachelor's student at the University of Bologna.
I am a member of the Helsinki Inequality Initiative (INEQ) and assistant editor of Philosophy of Social Science for PhilPapers.
