Florian Stoeckel, PhD

I am a political scientist interested in comparative politics, European politics, and political psychology. I work as Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter in the UK. Previously, I was a Max Weber Postdoctoral Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence. I received my PhD from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

I am also the Principal Investigator of the project "Distrust, Conspiracies, and the Political Challenges of Coping with Covid-19". The project is funded by the British Academy and will run from November 2020 to July 2022. I conduct the project with co-investigators Sofia Vasilopoulou (University of York) and Jason Reifler (Exeter). 


In my research I seek to unravel how citizens understand politics and how they form political preferences. I focus on some of the most important issues that shape the conflicts of our time: identities, the EU, tolerance, gender inequality, conspiracy theories, and vaccine hesitancy. My work is published in the European Journal of Political Research, Political Psychology, European Union Politics, the​ Journal of Common Market Studies, the International Journal of Press/Politics, the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion & Parties, and the Journal of European Public Policy.

My work in the domain of public health is published in Vaccine, PLOS  One, and the European Journal of Public Health.

​Recent media coverage in the German newspaper FAZ can be found here and a recent radio interview can be accessed here. 

I occasionally write for lay outlets including The Monkey Cage at The Washington Post, The European, and the LSE Europp blog.
