Current Research

Valeria Rueda investigates the deep-rooted determinants of spatial inequalities, focusing on health and gender inequalities. She has devoted significant attention to the role of culture in shaping persistent inequalities.

Her work aims at understanding the deep-rooted determinants of economic and political inequalities. She is particularly interested in the role of culture on economic and political outcomes. For instance, her previous work has studied the role of religion on development. Her current research agenda focuses on women's empowerment.

She is currently co-PI in two projects. The first one is on the impact of the British Suffrage movement on the mobilisation of women into politics. The second one is on diversity in science.
