I have a PhD in Comparative Politics from the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, with a thesis entitled Tolerance towards Corruption in Democracy: Measurement, Mass-Elite (In)Congruence, and Causality (approved with distinction and honours by unanimous decision).
I was directly engaged in three research projects that addressed perceptions of corruption from a variety of perspectives. The EPOCA-FCT project, which explored the perceptions of Portuguese citizens about corruption during the pandemic crisis; the ETHICS-FFMS project, which surveyed politicians about their views on corruption in Portugal; and the EPOCA-España project, which examined the perceptions of Spanish citizens regarding corruption in 2022.
I have experience in the development of surveys and questions pertaining to the subject of corruption. My research extends beyond the study of tolerance towards corruption to include a detailed examination of the various definitions, measurements and repercussions of perception-based corruption on the quality of democracy. My most significant contributions to the academic literature can be found in Social Indicators Research (ISSN 1573-0921), Public Integrity (ISSN 1558-0989), and European Political Science.(ISSN 1682-0983).
My most recent publications include an encyclopaedia entry on Tolerance towards Corruption in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Corruption and Society and the article Making sense of ‘Tolerance towards Corruption’ through power, public ethics, and injustice: a perception-based study with citizens and politicians in Portugal, published in European Political Science.
I served as the local co-organiser of the 8th Forum of the Interdisciplinary Corruption Research Network, a three-day international conference held in Lisbon, Portugal. The event took place on 27 and 28 June 2024 and attracted over 60 participants from across the globe.
