Malo Jan

Malo Jan has been a PhD candidate in political science at the Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics at Sciences Po since September 2022. He holds a master's degree in political science research from Sciences Po, where he completed a thesis on the evolution of how French MPs have addressed climate issues since 2000. From January to June 2025, he will be a visiting researcher at the University of Oxford.

Research

Under the supervision of Emiliano Grossman, his research focuses on the polarization surrounding climate issues and the public policies implemented to address them. His thesis aims to examine how the emergence of opposition discourses to climate policies influences party competition on these issues, as well as citizens' attitudes and electoral behavior. To analyze these dynamics, the project uses computational methods to measure party positions from large text corpora, as well as surveys and experimental methods.
