Daniela Osorio Michel

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the research project Democratic Institutions in the Global South (DEMINGS). I received my Ph.D. in Political Science from Vanderbilt University. Prior to Vanderbilt, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the Universidad Mayor de San Simón. 

My research focuses on questions of identity, public opinion, representation, and democracy. Using quantitative, qualitative, and experimental methodologies, I study the barriers women politicians face to achieving office. By applying a comparative perspective, I question the generalizability of conventional theories regarding women and politics.
