Bio and CV

CV_Coutto_jan2024.pdf

I joined Sciences Po as a teaching fellow for Comparative Politics in 2023 after a two-year period at the Vienna School of International Studies (Diplomatische Akademie Wien) . From 2019-2021 I was Marie Sklodowska Curie fellow at the  Centre For European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE/Sciences-Po) . My research  combines analysis of textual data and political sciences/political communication literature with the aim of understanding the relationship between political discourse, media content and political attitudes, most notably toward the European Union. My research interests include EU policy-making, international relations, comparative policy analysis, environmental politics and I am also interested in content analysis and R programming language. 

My teaching experience includes a six year period as a teaching fellow at the University of Warwick (UK)  at the Department of Economics (2014-2017) and at the Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS, 2017-2019). I have also designed and delivered courses on EU institutions and policy-making, EU foreign policy, Media and Politics, Comparative Politics, Political Economy, Environmental Economics and Foreign Policy Analysis in several institutions such as the Catholic University of Lille, Getulio Vargas Foundation, American University of Rome, Skema Business School and others.
