Luis Sattelmayer

Under the supervision of Jan Rovny, Luis is working on the decline of traditional center-left and center-right parties, also known as mainstream parties. In particular, he is investigating the influence of the rise of far-right parties, the politicization of migration and the mainstream parties' own agency on this development. In his research, he primarily uses computational and experimental methods to examine party discourse and to find new ways of measuring party positions and party behavior.

Research

Since September 2022, Luis Sattelmayer is a PhD student in political science at Sciences Po's Center for European Studies and Comparative Politics. He is a graduate of Sciences Po's Master of Research in Political Science (specializing in comparative politics), where he wrote a mixed-methods thesis on the positioning of German parties on the political issue of immigration.
