Ignacio Santoro

I am a PhD student at Rice University, specializing in Comparative Politics. Before coming to Rice, I studied at the University of Buenos Aires, where I earned a Master's Degree in Government and a Bachelor's in Political Science.

My research focuses on New Parties and Leaders in Latin America. I have also studied electoral systems and candidate selection methods, with a particular emphasis on subnational electoral primaries. 

In Argentina I worked as a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate courses at the University of Buenos Aires and Torcuato Di Tella University. I also coordinated the Research Group on Elections, Political Reform, and Electoral Observation at the University of Buenos Aires.
