Visions of social Europe: Inequality and public attitudes towards European solidarity
Sharon Baute is Assistant Professor of Comparative Social Policy at the University of Konstanz and principal investigator of the university’s Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality.” Previously, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Amsterdam. Baute obtained her Ph.D. in social sciences from KU Leuven. Her research focusses on social policy, European integration and international solidarity, with a particular focus on public attitudes.
At the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies (CES), Baute will investigate inequality and solidarity from a transnational perspective. Her project will focus on how EU-wide inequality shapes citizens’ political attitudes and preferences towards national and EU social policymaking.
