Leslie Fischer

I am a Ph.D. researcher in Political Science at the University of St. Gallen (HSG) in Switzerland. I hold an MPhil degree from the University of Konstanz in Germany. In general, I am interested in spatial analysis and creative measurement methods, such as quasi-experimental designs and survey experiments. My research was awarded with the Stuart A. Bremer Award for best graduate student paper and the Christiane-Rajewsky Award for best master thesis.

I am the Principal Investigator on two ongoing research projects:

1 How does the legacy of violence shape political dynamics in post-conflict societies? 2 How do visibility, success, and discrimination in women’s football shape public attitudes?
