BETA is delighted to welcome researcher Simone Marsilio to Strasbourg from April to June 2025.
Simone Marsilio is a postdoctoral researcher at the American University of Sharjah (UAE), surveying egalitarian attitudes using mixed methods. His project is entitled “Grievances, elite messaging, and attitudes toward non-dominant groups”.
Simone Marsilio studied political philosophy. He got a PhD in political science at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele university (Milan, Italy) testing alternative voting methods. His thesis, entitled “Changing the voting method: Voter satisfaction, status quo bias, and consequences”, was completed under the supervision of Professor Roberta Sala (Vita-Salute San Raffaele University).
His scientific interests include alternative voting methods, egalitarianism and Nudge theory. Her main ambition is to be able to apply her knowledge to a practical field. His research is now experimental. He mainly uses quantitative methods in “framed-field” experiments, online surveys and laboratory experiments.
During his stay at BETA, Simone Marsilio will be conducting a lab experiment to compare inter-gender interactions in France and the United Arab Emirates.
