Emmy Lindstam is an Assistant Professor at the School of Global and Public Affairs. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Mannheim in 2022. During her studies, she was a visiting PhD candidate at UC Berkeley and a pre-doctoral fellow at CESS-Nuffield Flame University in Pune. She holds a master’s degree in Political Science from the University of Mannheim and a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Public Administration from the University of Barcelona.
Emmy carries out research in the areas of comparative politics and political psychology, with a focus on identity politics and regional interest in India. She is motivated by questions such as: How do changes in textbook content, street names and public symbols honoring different heroes affect minorities’ sense of belonging? And does a social group’s perceived centrality to the nation condition group members' ability to speak and be heard in the public sphere? To answer these questions, she employs various causal research designs involving surveys, lab experiments and natural experiments. Her work is published in outlets such as the British Journal of Political Science, Electoral Studies and the Journal of Political Institutions and Political Economy.
