Hello
My name is Laura Kettel, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Political Science (Political Behavior and Institutions) at Aarhus University. My research and teaching interests center on spatial inequality in advanced democracies, social policy, and urban politics. Specifically, I work on questions related to housing and homelessness, support for redistribution, and social protection. I employ a range of research designs and data in my work, including causal inference approaches, mixed-methods, surveys, and administrative data.
