Line Rennwald received her PhD from the University of Geneva in 2013.   Her PhD project analyzed changes in working-class electoral support for mainstream Left parties in Austria, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK.  Line was a visiting PhD student at Nuffield College, Oxford, for the calendar year 2012.  Since completing her PhD, Line has been a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam (2014-16), the University of Lausanne (2016) and the European University Institute (2016-18).   For Unequal Democracies, Line works on the perceptions of representation among citizens as well as new trends in class voting, exploring how perceptions of one’s own political influence vary by social class and income.  She also contributes to the module on unions, analysing the effects of union membership on political participation and political attitudes based on our original survey data.
