ABOUT

Emma Mateo is a doctoral research student at the University of Oxford, working in the department of Sociology. Emma uses a mixed methods approach, informed by her interdisciplinary background, to tackle the puzzle of how and why regional locations mobilise during moments of mass protest.

 

Emma received a first-class Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages (Russian, French and Ukrainian) from the University of Cambridge in 2015. Her fascination with protest and Ukraine then lead her on an interdisciplinary path, through an MPhil in Russian and East European Studies at the University of Oxford, ultimately to Oxford’s Sociology department.

 

Here Emma’s doctoral research (funded by the ESRC) focuses on regional protest during moments of mass mobilisation in Ukraine and Belarus, and investigates what accounts for variation in the geospatial dispersion of protest events. Emma combines social media data, news media, archival resources and interviews to map regional mobilisation and investigate what accounts for these patterns of protest.
