Veronica Hurtado, Postdoctoral Associate with the Fox International Fellowship

Veronica Hurtado is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Her research focuses on political economy of development and political behavior, with a regional specialization in Latin America. In her dissertation, titled “Competing without parties: Voter mobilization in Peru”, she studies the dynamic of electoral competition in democracies with weak political parties using a mixed method design that combines in-depth interviews, archival work, and statistical analysis of both experimental and observational data.

While at Yale, Veronica plans to prepare a book manuscript based on the findings of her dissertation, applying her theory to two other cases: Bolivia and Guatemala. She will also continue working collaborative projects focused on information processing in the developing world, specifically on the topic of misinformation.
