Eloisa Harris is a post-doctoral researcher at the department for Socio-Cultural Diversity. Her research focuses on the politics behind immigration and social policy reforms in western Europe. Prior to joining the MPI-MMG, Eloisa was a doctoral researcher at the University of Bremen (BIGSSS). She studied Political Science, Philosophy and Economics in Warwick, Vienna and Zürich.
In her work within the “Diversity Assent in Urban Germany” project (DivA), Eloisa uses survey data from Germany to understand societal attitudes towards diversity and immigration, in particular, whether social class and political participation underly dynamics of preference polarisation. In other projects, she explores how and why political parties debate conditional access to the welfare state, in particular with regards to different groups of immigrants, and the effect of such politicisation on policy reforms in western Europe.
