Biography

Amy Alexander is an Associate Professor at the University of Gothenburg, within the Department of Political Science. Her research primarily delves into gender and equality politics, focusing on how gender attitudes intersect with political authoritarianism and democratic values. She is the Principal Investigator of the World Values Survey South Africa, evaluating how variations in gender attitudes shape political behavior and engagement. Her recent projects investigate the relationships between gender attitudes and corruption, as well as the implications of gender diversity for developing democratic institutions. With numerous publications in peer-reviewed journals, Alexander's significant contributions include analyses of women's political representation and its effects on political knowledge and belief in women as suitable leaders. Her work strives to illuminate the complex ways in which gender identities and equality influence political attitudes across diverse global contexts.
