Laura Morales is Professor in Political Science/Comparative Politics at Sciences Po (Paris, France), affiliated with the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics (CEE). She previously worked at the University of Leicester, the University of Manchester, the University of Murcia, the Complutense University of Madrid and the Autonomous University of Madrid. She has held visiting scholar positions at the Amsterdam School for Social Research, Columbia University, Harvard University and Sciences Po Grenoble. She is fluent in English, French, Italian and Spanish.
Her research interests lie, especially, in the areas of comparative political behavior, democratic political representation, public opinion, voting, political parties, the politics of immigration, and comparative politics.
Between 2011 and 2017, she was the principal investigator of the European Research Council grant ResponsiveGov, which studies how democratic governments responds to the multiple and sometimes contradictory pressures of the public.
Between 2017 and 2021 she was the Chair of the COST Action "International Ethnic and Immigrant Minorities' Survey Data Network" (EthmigSurveyData), a network of researchers from 34 countries working on improving the access, usability, dissemination and standards of the multiple and scattered survey data that exist on the economic, social and political integration of ethnic and migrant minorities. The EthmigSurveyData network has created a Survey Data Hub where quantitative surveys produced since 2000 on the inclusion of ethnic, migrant and racial minorities can be discovered, accessed and reused.
She is also leading a project (InclusiveParl) addressing the descriptive and substantive representation of seven under-represented groups (women, youth, ethnic and migrant minorities, religious minorities, people of working class background, people with disabilities, and people who identify as LGBTI+) in four European countries (France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom).
In the context of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud (SSHOC) project, she undertakes work on verbal agression on Twitter relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Her research, thus, mobilizes various issues relating to inclusive policies and policy making from a comparative political science perspective.
