Marta Pagnini

Marta Pagnini is an ESRC-funded PhD candidate at the Department of Sociology of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Her research project, under the supervision of Professor Mike Savage and Dr Milena Tsvetkova, examines the historical processes of legitimation and consecration of status hierarchies by the state. To that end, she analyses with text mining, time series and social network analysis the British monarchy’s public activities listed in the daily Court Circular from 1837 until present.

Marta completed an Msc in Sociology at the LSE in 2020. She obtained a BA in Sociology from the University of Paris IV Sorbonne and a BA in Political Science at the University of Pisa. Before joining the LSE as a PhD fellow, she worked as Market Research Analyst at Euromonitor International and as Research Assistant in Economic History for the University of Groningen.
