VALENTIN FIGUEROA

I am an Assistant Professor at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.

Within comparative politics, my research focuses on state-building, ideological change, and scientific innovation. I study these topics in Western European and Latin American history.

I hold a PhD in Political Science from Stanford University (2022). I am originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I received a B.A. from Universidad de San Andrés (2014) and a M.A. from Universidad Torcuato Di Tella (2017).
