Rodrigo Fernández Caba

I'm a PhD candidate with very broad interests. From a theoretical perspective, I'm very interested in political philosophy and political theory. However, there are two main fields of empirical research I am very keen on, namely: political psychology and comparative politics. From an individual perspective, I am mostly interested in the relationship between voters and parties, how the former process political information and how biases affect this process, and how the latter can influence voter's decisions. I study topics like party competition and electoral behavior from a political psychology perspective. More specifically, right now I am focused on the potential consequences of affective polarization and misinformation.
