MIAOFANG GUAN

I am fresh Joint-PhD graduate at the University of São Paulo (USP) and King’s College London (KCL), specialising in comparative political behaviour. My research interests include political polarisation, populism, threat perception, and patriotism, with an interdisciplinary focus on political psychology. I have also worked on more IR-based theories such as soft power. 

Methodologically, my work has involved large-scale cross-national survey analyses as well as original survey fieldwork. I am also keen to expand into causal inference and longitudinal data analysis as part of my future research.

While my PhD project primarily involves global analysis, I have a strong regional interest in Latin American studies, informed by five years of living and conducting research in Brazil.
